What is GKBI Board?
Gypsum board is a building material made of multiple sheets of gypsum covered with cardboard.
GKBI Board Dimensions
When it comes to width, GKBI board dimensions are 600 mm or 1200 mm.
Regarding length, the available options are 2000 mm and 4000 mm.
GKBI boards can be cut to fit individual needs: room dimensions, project specifications, or homeowner preferences.
Sheets are cut using special knives and mounted with screws on previously prepared metal or wooden structures.
They can also be glued to masonry or cast walls.
Everything depends on the intended function and the construction possibilities of the given room.
Impregnated Gypsum Boards with Increased Moisture Resistance GKBI (Green Color)
Green gypsum board is created through additional hydrophobization of gypsum.
As a result, it is more durable and has better water-resistant properties.
These boards can be used in rooms where air humidity periodically increases but does not exceed 85% within 24 hours, provided their surface is covered with a waterproof material, such as ceramic tiles or hydrophobic paint, and proper ventilation is maintained.
In this version, it is a good choice for bathrooms or toilets.
The standard GKBI board thickness is 12.5 mm.
