Gypmax Ceiling Tiles are also highly water resistant and maintain their strength under conditions that other boards would not be able to withstand. When Gypmax Ceiling Tiles are immersed in water for 24 hours they might slightly loose their strength but they regain their full strength as soon as they are dried. Placing the boards in water has no long term effect on the board or on most of the decorated surfaces, hence they can be used in high humid areas or in places where there is a risk of water accidentally coming in contact with the board.

When different sounds come together in harmony, it is soothing to our ears but when jarring sounds irritate us, it is called noise. In order to minimize this unwanted sound, our buildings must be acoustically treated. Gypmax Ceiling Tiles provide an excellent acoustical property, which reduces the sound that passes between two spaces separated by a dividing element.
The sound energy, during transmission, passes through the dividing element through direct transmission or through the surroundings like walls, floors, ceilings, ducts, windows and door openings through indirect transmission. Therefore both the methods should be taken into consideration, while designing. Gypmax Ceiling Tiles provide optimum sound insulation by allowing the least amount of transfer of sound energy and reducing the amount of leakage through doors, windows, air conditioners, continuous run of ducts, cracks, holes and gapes, electrical outlets, service pipes, suspended ceiling or partitions, common ventilation systems, etc.

When traditional or remedial methods do not satisfactorily work, the sound insulation of existing walls and partitions can be further improved by providing a layer or lining with Gypmax Ceiling Tiles. The linings not only provide sound insulation but also provide good thermal insulation.
