Gyprex L ceiling tiles from Saint-Gobain’s Gyproc division
A new light-weight ceiling tile, locally manufactured in 6.4 mm thickness, is designed to be easy to handle and install. Manufactured with a 100% recyclable gypsum core, the low maintenance tiles are said to be easy to clean and provide a degree of sound insulation.
Saint-Gobain’s Gyproc division recently launched its Gyprex L ceiling tile, targeted for use in a range of commercial institutions including offices, education, healthcare and retail developments.
“Gyproc South Africa's range of ceiling systems provide amongst the most versatile design and aesthetic options in the market, whilst incorporating the unique environmental properties of natural gypsum,” says the company’s product category manager for ceiling solutions and metals Paul Louw. “The new Gyprex L ceiling tiles are a great option for areas that require fit-for-purpose level vinyl ceiling tiles. Additionally, the tiles are available in two types of finishes, namely, white vinyl or fissured facing”.
Using the new cost-effective lay-in solution, the ceiling tile is designed so that it will not sag when correctly installed and to be scratch and dent resistant.
