| Edge Type | Tapered edge (TE) |
| Primary Features | Moisture-resistant core and face paper, suitable for internally humid areas |
| Primary Applications | Bathrooms, basements, kitchens, utility rooms—locations prone to dampness |
Gyproc Kool Board
A specially designed gypsum plasterboard with a metallic aluminum foil backing is called Gyproc Kool Board. When applied to ceilings, this foil reflects incoming solar heat, greatly lowering heat transfer into interior spaces and assisting in the maintenance of lower indoor temperatures. In the event of leaks or sporadic dampness, the foil side also provides extra moisture protection.
| Product Type | Gypsum wall‑board with aluminium foil on the back side |
| Thermal Function | Reflects solar heat to reduce interior temperature |
| Moisture Protection | Provides protection against moisture on the foil side |
| Applications | False ceilings in tropical, humid & hilly regions, warehouses, churches, etc. |
| Color | Off‑white face and metallic foil back |
| Thickness | Typically 12.5 mm gypsum board |
| Board Size | Approx. 6 ft × 4 ft (≈1830 × 1220 mm) |
| Primary Features | Heat reflectance, moisture barrier on foil side |
USG knauf Board
After being acquired by Knauf in 2019, USG now functions as a separate subsidiary, fusing Knauf's global experience and innovation with USG's Sheetrock® heritage. Gypsum boards are made by USG Knauf for use in technical interior applications, commercial buildings, and homes.
