Why Build With Duralite Board?
  ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Duralite Board has aready place in today's construction industry. The combination of its special characteristics and properties puts it a class above the rest.

Light in weight with strength, durability, hig thermal and acoustic insulation, and excellent fire resistance make it an ideal material for roof decking, concrete shuttering of structural columns and lift wells, insulation of cold rooms and drying klin and various others.
 
Properties of Duralite Board
 
Excellent Thermal Insulation
Compared to brick, an inch of Duralite Board has the same insulation value as fourteen inches of brickwork. It keeps the heat out and the cool it has a thermal conductivity 'K' value of 0.45.3 th/sq.ft/inch/_F
Outstanding acoustic Properties
Duralite Board does not transmit sound. It absorbs sound and insulates against penetration. Three inches of Duralite Board provides an average noise transmission reduction of 48 decibels over the frequencies 200-4,000Hz
Very High Resistance to Fire
Duralite Board does not burn. It only chars under extreme heat. A two inch thick Duralite Board slabs has more than one hour Fire Resistance Period. Duralite Board has a Class 1 surface according to the Building regulations 1984.
Workability: Highly Flexible and Easy to Construct
Duralite Board does not burn. It only chars under extreme heat. A two inch thick Duralite Board slabs has more than one hour Fire Resistance Period. Duralite Board has a Class 1 surface according to the Building regulations 1984.

  What Makes Duralite Board The Ideal Choice?
 
Fire Protection
  • Does not support combustion
  • Class 'O' rated surface flame spread
  • 50mm panel: 1 hour fire rated
  • 75mm panel: 2 hour fire rated (with 12.5mm plaster)
Cost effective
  • Easy and fast to install
  • Reduces need for large structural members and expensive foundation work due to lightweight property
Thermal Insulation
  • 50mm thick Duralite Board has the same insulationg value as a 600mm clay block
  • Reduces the need for air-conditioners and promotes energy conservation
Acoustic Insulation
  • Duralite Board readily absorbs sound and reduces echo
  • 75mm thick Duralite Board provides an average noise reduction of 48dB
Termite Resistant
  • Termites do not attack Duralite Boards
  • Duralite Board is also resistant to dry rot and fungal growth
Easy To Use
  • Easy to install with wood steel or RC structures
  • Easily nailed, screwed, plastered or sawn witn normal working tools
Environmentally Friendly
  • Duralite Boards makes use of timber off low commercial value, reducing the amount of waste timber burnt
