Advantages

  • Gypsolite Plaster assures uniformity through exact proportioning and thorough mixing of graded perlite and gypsum plaster at the mill. Gypsolite provides a uniform base for the finish coat.
  • Gypsolite Plaster weighs less than half as much as sanded gypsum plaster, thus reducing the dead-load on framing as well as jobsite handling costs.
  • With a “k” factor of 1.5, Gypsolite Plaster provides about 1-1/2 times the insulating value of sanded plaster.
  • Gypsolite has excellent fire-resistant qualities and generally provides fire ratings higher than sanded plaster.
