Britain's best source of building product and construction news

Hall 5 Stand M120 After an absence of more than 10 years, British Gypsum is returning to Interbuild with a stand dedicated to its off-site solutions. A growing element of the new build market, offsite manufacture is claimed to offer a solution to the quality issue sometimes associated with site-build methods, but also introduces a new set of challenges for manufacturers whose panel systems not only have to compete cost-wise with 'traditionally built' panels, but must be extra robust to cope with the stresses and strains of factory to site transportation.

British Gypsum is introducing a new 2700mm standard length to its Gypframe 50150 range of 'I' Stud, designed to reduce waste and save time for contractors working on the renovation and conversion of existing buildings into apartments. With typical floor to ceiling heights of 2400-2700mm the existing 3600mm stud lengths proved uneconomical and time consuming to install. The new stud features Ultrasteel treatment for improved strength and fixing.
