Gypsum Underlayment
WHAT IS Gypsum Underlayment?
Gypsum Underlayment is a mixture of gypsum plaster, Portland cement and sand. It is commonly used for wood-frame and concrete construction structures as a floor underlayment meaning that it’s the layer that sits between wood subfloor and the floor covering of a building.
WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF USING Gypsum Underlayment?
Gypsum Underlayment has many benefits as a floor underlayment.
-
Fire resistance – Gypsum Underlayment is fire retardant! This is because it has crystallized water, so when it’s exposed to extremely high temperatures it evaporates; cooling and slowing down heat transmission.
-
Durability – Gypsum Underlayment is very similar to concrete and is very resistant to cracks. It is a great and reliable alternative to concrete.
-
Reduces sound – Gypsum Underlayment is a great floor underlayment for houses and apartment buildings where you don’t want sound to travel.
-
Easy to install – Gypsum Underlayment is much more lightweight than concrete, making it easier to pour and cure
