British Gypsum has simplified its range of Gyproc ThermaLine laminates, so now you can easily choose the thermal performance board to suit your insulation needs and budget.
The range has also been extended to give you greater choice, giving solutions to a much wider choice of high performance applications.
The Gyproc performance range of plasterboards have been developed to provide additional performance in the key areas of fire, acoustics, thermal, impact resistance and moisture resistance, for a wide range of demanding lining applications.
Gyproc ThermaLine laminates comprise Gyproc WallBoard laminated to a layer of thermal insulating material, enabling a high quality wall finish and an efficient thermal lining to be fitted in one simple operation.
As insulation standards change thermal laminates are easy to
upgrade - no post-construction filling of cavities or external
cladding.
Why laminates?
Gyproc ThermaLine laminates are the perfect way to enhance thermal insulation.
Whether designed into buildings from the outset or retro-fitted in to older buildings, they provide an easy way to help comply with Building Regulations Approved Document L in England and Wales and Section 6 in Scotland.
They can also contribute towards credits in the Code for Sustainable Homes, to improve the sustainability of new housing.
Design and Installation Benefits of Gyproc Thermaline
Thermal laminates are relatively lightweight boards and
require no additional structural support.
Completely clear cavities can be maintained - the best form
of protection against rain penetration over a long period, particularly
in exposed locations.
With the insulation as close to the internal surface as possible, Gyproc ThermaLine laminates provide a rapid response to intermittent heating, creating more comfortable living spaces
for occupants.
The integral vapour control in Gyproc ThermaLine PLUS and SUPER reduce the risk of condensation.
Gyproc ThermaLine laminates can eliminate cold bridging when installed continuously over framing members or joists.
They can be used to provide additional insulation in the roof and used for room-in-the-roof applications.
Internal dry lining and
insulation in just one fixing operation - meaning buildings can be
completed faster.
Rapid response to intermittent heating - creating comfortable
living conditions for the occupant more quickly.
Reduced risk of condensation - a key factor when designing
domestic dwellings.
Wide product range to meet the Building Regulations on a
variety of masonry or timber frame walls, new-build or refurbishment.
Can also contribute additional insulation to roof linings -
for typical 3 storey constructions or room-in the-roof conversions
Thermal Performance
Gyproc ThermaLine thermal laminates not only deliver
excellent insulation performance, but can also provide vapour control
and a first-class plastering or decorating surface in one board.
Gyproc ThermaLine Basic
provides a base level
improvement in thermal insulation, which is ideal
when used in combination with other insulation or
where modest upgrades are required.
The range of
thicknesses suits the low-level upgrades available.
Gyproc ThermaLine Plus
has added benefits, including a
a higher performing insulant backing, and an integral
vapour control to minimise the risk of condensation
forming behind the lining.
Window reveals
The 27mm is the thinnest of the laminates with an
integral vapour control, making it an ideal board to insulate around window reveals.
Timber frame constructions
The new 48mm laminate has been designed with a
12.5mm Gyproc WallBoard backing to provide 30 minutes fire resistance, ideal for use in timber frame
constructions, as part of the internal wall solution.
Gyproc ThermaLine Super
is available in a wide range
of thicknesses from 30mm - 90mm and provides
solutions for a whole variety of constructions, including
refurbishments and conversions of properties requiring
substantial thermal upgrades. All boards have vapour
control as standard, so provides peace of mind for all
environments.

Internal insulation
Insulating external walls on the inside, closer to the heat source than exterior or cavity insulation, means quicker reaction to heat input. This is especially important in our unpredictable climate and where intermittent heating patterns are in use. Internal insulation is also the ideal choice for refurbishment projects involving the upgrading of existing walls, particularly solid walls, as it provides insulation and a high quality internal lining in one simple operation.
Insulating with thermal laminates
The use of plasterboard thermal laminates has long been established in construction and their benefits well recognised. Comprising a sheet of Gyproc WallBoard laminated to a layer of thermal insulation, Gyproc ThermaLine thermal laminates provide an internal dry lining finish and insulation in just one product and a single fixing operation.
The Gyproc ThermaLine range consists of five thermal laminate types, (different insulants) in varying thicknesses - each providing a simple, effective solution to heat loss through walls and pitched roofs on different constructions.
Board types
T/E - with Gyproc jointing materials for taped and filled joints or application of Thistle Board Finish or Thistle Multi-Finish plaster.
Plastering
The face (ivory) of Gyproc WallBoard can be plastered with either Thistle Board Finish or Thistle Multi-Finish. There should be the minimum of delay between completion of the lining and the commencement of plastering.
Jointing
Gyproc jointing materials produce durable joint reinforcement and a smooth, continuous, crack-resistant surface ready for priming and final decoration. A number of jointing specifications are available to suit the board type, method of application, and site preference.
Decoration
After the joint treatment has dried, decoration, including any decorator’s preparatory work, should follow with the minimum delay.
Repair
Minor damage - Lightly sand the surface to remove burrs and fill flush with Gyproc Easi-Fill or Gyproc Easi-Fill 45, or two applications of Gyproc Joint Cement. When dry, apply Gyproc Drywall Primer or Gyproc Drywall Sealer to leave the surface ready for decoration
Deep indents resulting from impact - Check the plasterboard core to ensure that it is not shattered. If intact, apply a coat of Gyproc Joint Filler, or Gyproc Easi-Fill or Gyproc Easi-Fill 45, followed by the procedure for repairing minor damage as outlined above, once set/dry.
Damaged core and/or broken edges (non-performance situations only) - Remove the damaged area of core. Score the liner approximately 10mm away from the sound plaster around the damaged area, and peel the paper liner away. Apply Thistle GypPrime or PVA to seal the core and surrounding liner. Bulk fill the hole with a stiff mix of Gyproc Easi-Fill or Gyproc Easi-Fill 45, or Gyproc Joint Filler, and strike off flush. Apply Gyproc Easi-Fill or Gyproc Easi-Fill 45, or two applications of Gyproc Joint Cement, once the filler is set/dry. When dry, apply Gyproc Drywall Primer or Gyproc Drywall Sealer (only suitable in non-performance situations).
Extensive damage - When the damage is more extensive, it may be necessary to replace that area of plasterboard. It is important that the replacement board is of the same type as specified and installed. Cut out the affected area back to the nearest framing member. Replace the plasterboard, accurately cutting and screw-fixing the same type and thickness of plasterboard. Fill edge joints, then tape and finish in the recommended way. Treat the finished surface with Gyproc Drywall Primer or two coats of Gyproc Sealer, if previously specified for vapour control purposes. Redecorate as required.
NB It is essential that repairs are made 'like for like'. If the finish is skim plaster, jointing materials must not be used in the repair.
