Design Fermacell
“Fermacell has helped us create a traditional looking house, packed full of modern advanced materials that help conserve heat and create optimal acoustics. As well as this, the flexibility of the board has allowed us to really pay attention to detail and ensure that even the smallest areas have a perfect finish.” The use of 12.5mm Fermacell board on the partitions of the Hart’s property has proved extremely successful. Noise reduction was a specific requirement for this project and from the couple’s point of view, more than 40dB of the regularity requirement has been achieved without insulation in the partition. The Hart’s self-build project is a great example of a project where a traditional approach to building design has been combined with the use of a range of modern applications. Looking beyond the initial concept of the framework of a self-build project is crucial if a self-builder is to recognise the part these applications can play in assisting them in speeding up the overall process and enhancing the performance of the property with regards exterior structure, acoustics, insulation and re-enforced strength.

The building’s infrastructure is
solid, sustainable and temperature controlled thanks to the incorporation of Fermacell‘s dry lining board throughout the internal frame and Fermacell’s overlay over the under- floor heating. Here, grooved insulation trays have been combined with heat dispersion plates to reinforce output, thereby creating a solution that exceeds the acoustic requirements of Part E of the Building Regulations for separating floors.
Pippa continued: “The technical consultation provided by Fermacell was second to none, both in terms of advice surrounding installation and insightful ways of minimising waste, which is a particular issue for timber builds. We were able to use off-cuts of the board to create a double layer of insulation and sound reduction throughout the property. We were also impressed with its load hanging qualities enabling us to fix our fixtures and fittings directly to the board.

About Fermacell
Design innovation combined with increasing pressure from Building Regulations means that materials must save time and money on site and offer technically superior solutions. Fermacell is one such material.
A high performance multi-purpose building board that when installed combines the properties of solid blockwork with the speed and flexibility of conventional drywall techniques, and which lets the designer use radical solutions in internal space planning.
