Less complexity. Greater planning certainty.

Proven solutions for office buildings, schools and public buildings – fire safety, sound insulation, sustainability.

Fire protection, sound insulation, construction time – in commercial construction, all requirements must be met simultaneously. fermacell® gypsum fibre products provide tested construction solutions, comprehensive documentation and tender specifications that can be adopted directly.

Where fermacell® makes the difference in commercial construction.

In commercial construction, the choice of materials is made at an early stage — during the planning phase, not on site. By incorporating fire protection, sound insulation and sustainability into a certified board right from the start, you can reduce coordination efforts, the need for certification, and risks. This is exactly what fermacell® gypsum fibre products deliver in commercial construction.

Fire protection and sound insulation in drywall construction – one board, all applications.

Corridors, offices, meeting rooms – every area has its own specific requirements. If you plan to use several different products for this, you’ll end up with a lot more work in terms of tendering and documentation.

fermacell® gypsum fibreboards combine fire protection and sound insulation in a single, certified board – one product, one certification, all standard applications.

Enhanced fire protection — same installation process.

Escape routes, stairwells and fire compartments require enhanced fire protection – but every change of product on site means a different process, different training and more coordination.

fermacell® Firepanel A1 is completely non-combustible – it can be installed in exactly the same way as gypsum fibreboard, allowing for a ‘board-on-board’ installation without the need for an additional supporting structure.

Choosing the right materials pays off.

Durable surfaces, robust designs and CO₂-Overall assessment – in commercial construction, these aren’t just extras, but key decision-making factors. In public tenders, what counts is a building’s long-term performance.

fermacell® gypsum fibreboards impress with their high impact resistance, durable surface quality and the ability CO₂ to be stored – eligible for DGNB and BNB certifications.

When standard designs reach their limits.

Public swimming pools, indoor swimming pools, saunas and gyms have specific requirements. The right choice of materials must be made during the planning phase – not when taking measurements.

1
Moisture as a long-term stress factor.

Moisture is a common occurrence in public swimming pools. The choice of materials must take account of the intensity of use.

fermacell® Powerpanel H₂O - Permanently water-resistant.

2
Temperature fluctuations without cracking.

Saunas combine extreme temperatures with humidity. This causes warping, which affects the joints and floor coverings.

fermacell® Powerpanel H₂O - Retains its shape under alternating loads.

3
Surfaces that last.

Harsh cleaning products put a strain on the entire structure. Joints, floor coverings and coatings must be durable.

fermacell® Powerpanel H₂O - Surfaces remain in good condition even after many years.
