Wall board from Fermacell is meeting the demands of a new school in Edinburgh for children with special educational needs. Oaklands School will provide facilities for nursery, primary and secondary age children. The use of Fermacell wall board will satisfy acoustic, fire safety and impact requirements as well as helping reduce the project's over all build costs, the company claims. As its gypsum matrix is reinforced with cellulose fibres it is stronger, has improved impact resistance and, because it has a higher density, is more effective in reducing sound transmission than conventional plasterboard. It is designed to be simple to install and does not need a wet plaster skim to produce a suitable surface for painting.
