How to choose paper-faced gypsum board?

Paper-faced gypsum board is a commonly used building material in interior ceiling and partition decoration. Its quality directly affects the final effect of the ceiling and partition decoration. However, in today's complex gypsum board market, how can one purchase high-quality paper-faced gypsum board?

Today, we'll guide you through the process of choosing high-quality paper-faced gypsum board.

1. Check the packaging label

There are various types of gypsum board on the market, and consumers should always choose products from reputable manufacturers. Reputable gypsum board manufacturers will clearly print the product name, certificate of conformity, production date, and production standards on their product packaging. Consumers should check these packaging elements first when purchasing.

Each of Jason's drywall products has strict packaging markings to ensure that consumers purchase genuine products. Therefore, everyone must keep their eyes open and distinguish between genuine and counterfeit products when purchasing.

2. Inspect the appearance of the panel.

More than 70% of the strength of paper-faced gypsum board comes from the facing paper, so paper is a key factor in ensuring the strength of gypsum board.

High-quality gypsum board uses virgin wood pulp paper for its facing paper. This type of paper is thin, strong, smooth, stain-free, has long fibers, and good toughness. In contrast, inferior paper-faced gypsum board often uses paper made from recycled pulp, which is heavier, thicker, weaker, and has a rough surface. Oil stains may sometimes be visible on the surface, and it is prone to cracking. These differences can be made simply by looking at the surface of the gypsum board.

Therefore, when selecting gypsum board, you must pay attention to whether the surface of the gypsum board is flat and smooth, and whether there are stains, uneven colors, cracks or other signs of poor quality.

Jason gypsum board uses high-strength premium facing paper from China Resources Paper Mill. The surface of the gypsum board is flat and smooth, without any impurities, with uniform color, and its performance is far superior to ordinary gypsum board on the market.

3. Examine the cross-section

High-quality paper-faced gypsum board often uses high-purity desulfurized gypsum as the core material, while inferior paper-faced gypsum board lacks control over the purity of raw materials, and some even contain a large amount of harmful substances. The difference between the two can be clearly observed from the cross-section.

Good gypsum board has a white and uniform core material, while poor gypsum board has a yellow or even black core. Moreover, due to substandard manufacturing processes, the pores in inferior gypsum board are unevenly distributed, with some large and some small. This makes it prone to cracking due to uneven stress, all of which pose potential risks for later construction.

Paper-faced gypsum board uses high-purity desulfurized gypsum as the main raw material, high-strength premium facing paper, and a unique foaming process. The core material is of excellent quality, resulting in superior product performance.

4. Check the size deviation.

Dimensional deviation is an important indicator of gypsum board manufacturing quality; the actual dimensions of the gypsum board must roughly match its specified dimensions. When selecting gypsum board, observe the deviation between its actual dimensions and the standard dimensions; the smaller the deviation, the better the gypsum board. Excessive deviation will affect the treatment of the joints and the decorative effect.

Jason gypsum board uses advanced domestic and international production processes to ensure that every gypsum board is of uniform size.

5. Check the flatness and right angle deviation.

Flatness, right angle deviation, and dimensional deviation are important factors affecting the quality of gypsum board. The quality grades of gypsum board on the market are now classified according to their dimensional deviation, flatness, and right angle deviation. When purchasing, people should try to choose gypsum board with smaller dimensional, flatness, and right angle deviations.

The quality of gypsum board is a crucial factor affecting the final look of your home, so be sure to be careful when purchasing it. Choosing reputable manufacturers and premium products is the key to successful renovation!
