GVL moisture resistant. Features of the material and its cost

Отделка внутренних стен в помещении – это всегда a very sensitive issue that almost everyone faces during repairs. The choice of materials for such work is great. And anyone has its advantages and, unfortunately, disadvantages. One of the mentioned building materials is GVL moisture resistant, which finds its application not only in interior decoration, but even in the exterior.

What it is?

Under such a concept as "GVL moisture resistant",implied finishing sheet material. It is made by pressing building gypsum and loose cellulose fibers. The front and back sides of each sheet are treated with a water repellent, polished and coated with a special impregnation that prevents chalking. The last layer protects the coating from destruction caused by the loss of compound fillers and pigments with a binder component.

Листы ГВЛ выпускаются прямоугольной формы.Their longitudinal edges can be straight or folded. The standard size of a single sheet is 2500 mm by 1200 mm. However, there are other sizes, it all depends on the manufacturer. Most often it is 1500 mm by 600 mm. Sheet thickness can be 10, 12.5, 15, 18 and 20 mm.

Material Features

On GVL moisture resistant price is higher than on GKL(drywall). This is due to a number of performance characteristics that distinguish it favorably from similar finishing materials. Consider the main advantages:

1. Влагостойкость.Processing of sheets with a water repellent allows you to achieve that the sheet finishing material is well tolerated by high humidity. Thanks to this property, GVL moisture resistant is used in the decoration of bathrooms and similar rooms.

2. Fire resistance.The sheet material in question is made of gypsum, which itself is a non-combustible substance. After production, all sheets undergo compulsory certification, according to the results of which they are assigned a fire safety class. This is usually T1, D1, B1, G1, which corresponds to practically non-combustible materials that do not support independent combustion and release of toxic substances. Due to these properties, they are used in the arrangement of the premises, where there are high requirements for fire safety.

3. Frost resistance. This material tolerates freezing / thawing. He is able to withstand 15 such cycles without loss of quality.

4. High strength. Sheet density is 1250 kg / m³. Their tensile strength at bending is 5.5 MPa, which is almost two times more than that of the GCR.

5. The homogeneity of the composition.

6. High sound insulation. According to this parameter GVL moisture resistant has an indicator equal to 35 dB, while GCR - only 25 dB.

How much is?

The cost of finishing the walls with gypsum fiber sheetsincludes the price for the material and the price for the work on its arrangement. As for the cost of installation, it is formed from such components as the arrangement of the frame and the attachment of the material to it. Firms take about 250 rubles per 1 m for this work.². This is the minimum price, payment may increase independing on the type of work performed and the complexity of the design. In this case, the price of the material from these same companies will be 270 rubles for the same square meter. If we take into account that the GVL is moisture resistant, the price for a 2.5 x 1.2 m sheet with a thickness of 10 mm varies within 500 rubles, then you would think that firms demand too high payment. But this is not entirely true, because the metal profile is also included in the price of the material, without which it cannot be dispensed with.
