Thermal insulation

Keeping cool in a country with hot and humid weather like ours is not only a challenge, but usually results in a large consumption of energy.

What is thermal insulation?

With the threat of climate change looming overhead, the need to be more energy-efficient and eco-friendly is on the rise. As a champion of sustainability and green initiatives, we at Gyproc incorporate thermal insulation properties into a large portion of our products and solutions.  

Thermal insulation refers to ways in which we try to stop the transfer of heat from one object to another. By acting as a filter between interior and exterior climates, thermal wall insulation allows you the luxury of staying cool and comfortable without consuming large amounts of energy.

Wall lining system

Our Wall Lining Systems are designed to provide excellent thermal insulation along with other features. Some of the features include:

• Contains insulating properties that blocks out heat flow and allows a pleasing environment while maintaining constant temperature.
• Lining systems such as GypLyner® and DriLyner® reduces the effects of cold bridging - a phenomenon that occurs with the usage of materials with differing thermal conductivity in the main structure (for instance steel frame with concrete infill panels), or where gaps or cracks allow warm (or cold) air to penetrate the structure.
• Thermal lining further reduces the differences between the wall surface temperature and the ambient temperature of the room air, making the possibility of surface condensation, or interstitial condensation forming within the outer wall structure, unlikely occurrences.

On top of providing a strong and robust finish and being energy saving, our wall insulation these systems also improve safety and comfort by greatly enhancing the fire and acoustic performance of any structure, making them the ideal solutions for a range of internal environments such as schools, hospitals, hotels and even residential complexes.

Sustainability

Insulated lining systems have a lower built cost per square metre as compared to other heavyweight solutions that offer similar levels of thermal performance. 

Additionally, these are lighter and easier to manage and are specifically designed for easy and faster construction on site as compared to masonries.
