fermacell® is a high-density fibre gypsum board manufactured by James Hardie, used in wall, ceiling and flooring systems where higher durability, acoustic performance, moisture resistance or fire classification is required than with conventional lining boards. The board is reinforced with cellulose fibres, giving it increased impact resistance, stability and fixing strength. It is widely used in education, healthcare, commercial and residential buildings.

Why fermacell® is specified

fermacell® boards are selected in applications where a single layer solution or a higher-performance finish is needed to meet acoustic, fire, moisture or durability requirements. The boards can be used in both new build and refurbishment and support robust, compliant system build-ups when installed in line with manufacturer guidance.

Typical applications

Education corridors and teaching spaces, healthcare and clinical zones, wet rooms, changing areas and plant rooms, high-traffic commercial interiors, acoustic service-critical spaces, and dry screed floor build-ups.
