New GIB® Standard
How do you improve on New Zealand's most trusted and used plasterboard?
You listen to the people who install it everyday then evolve it to make it even better!
Introducing the "anything but standard" new GIB® Standard. With its modern re-engineered composite core utilising new honeycomb technology and fibreglass, encapsulated in a stronger paper liner, new GIB® Standard delivers a unique combination of benefits:
- Lightness - reduced handling effort on site, and uses less energy to manufacture and transport which is better for the environment
- Strength - more rigid with less sag, maintains bracing performance of GS1 and GS2 systems as presented in GIB EzyBrace® Systems 2009
- Flexibility - improved manoeveurability with less risk of damage and wastage
- Consistent quality finish - strengthened paper means better bedding of screw heads cleaner cut and snap for a better edge.
New GIB® Standard is available in 10mm and 13mm thicknesses and includes GIB Wideline®. 13mm GIB Plasterboard is recommended for use on ceilings for a better quality finish.
It’s a demonstration of our continuing commitment to providing Kiwi designers, specifiers, builders and installers with the very best BRANZ appraised interior wall lining systems, made locally for New Zealand conditions
What’s being said about new GIB® Standard.
“When two of my most experienced guys used it for the first time they couldn’t believe how good it was: easier to handle, stronger with cut-outs, and able to be bent a lot further without breaking. It’s a far superior board.”
Bryce Clifford, Hastings.
“It’s so much easier to handle and manoeuvre in tight spaces like hallways because it’s stronger and bends a lot further. And that means you’re less likely to damage the edges.”
Jason Payne, Queenstown.
