Gypsum Board
Gypsum board is called several different types; sheetrock (A Brand in USA), plasterboard, gypsumboard etc.

Benefits Of Using Gypsum Based Exterior Sheathing
Excellent board used in external wall construction: it has a core strengthened against water and moisture, and a special orange-coloured glass fibre matt coated.
A1 class noncombustible building material. Thanks to its glass matt coatings and special core components, sheetrock increases the fire resistance of the walls it is applied to.
Compared to other panels used for exterior facades (such as cement-based boards or wood chip / cellulose reinforced cement boards), gypsumboard gives stronger performance with dimensional stability against water absorption and moisture, and does not absorb water from its surface.
Plasterboard provides a smooth and a plumb surface. This type of surface is sought for all kinds of surface coating materials or for ventilated façade applications.
Compared to other panels used for exterior facades (such as cement-based boards or wood chip / cellulose reinforced cement boards), gypsum board gives stronger performance with dimensional stability against water absorption and moisture, and does not absorb water from its surface.
Fiber Cement Boards
Fibre cement boards produced with silica sand, cement and cellulose by using the latest technology machines and stand out with its innovative structure and offer effective solutions for exterior cladding and interior decoration.
Benefits Of Using Fiber Cement Board
Fiber cement board has A1 class incombustibility. With this feature, it is safely applied in highrise buildings under the current regulations.
In addition to the Fire Response and Ignition test reports, this feature that certified by Determination of Combustion Temperature test report, also helps the fire to go off.
Fibrecement plates, which are ready to shape after pressing are given an aesthetic appearance by giving various designs on CNC machines.
Also according to demand, we can cut to size according to custom dimensions.
Reinforced cement boards can be textured like wood, stone, plaster or line that would give an aesthetic aspect. Fiber cement siding wood look provides natural aesthetic together with cement durability against permites
