CSR Gyprock 13mm Fyrchek Plasterboard RE
Product Description
Gyprock Fyrchek has been developed to take the heat. Fyrchek’s specially processed glass fibre-reinforced gypsum core makes it ideal for use in fire rated wall and ceiling systems and where improved acoustic performance is required.
Product Overview
Fyrchek’s glass fibre-reinforced core enables it to maintain structural integrity when subjected to direct flame making it an ideal board for use as part of a fire rated wall or ceiling system.
This plasterboard is also an acoustic grade board and can be used in systems where acoustic separation is specified.
Gyprock Fyrchek can be easily identified by its pink coloured face paper.
Typical Applications
Fyrchek is predominantly specified for commercial installations in areas where there is a higher level of fire resistance and/or acoustic performance required.
Typical applications include:
- Fire separation and smoke walls
- Intertenancy walls and party walls
- Multi-residential unit ceilings
- Lift wells
- Plant rooms
- Any non-wet area wall or ceiling where a fire or acoustic rated system is specified
Tested Fire Performance
Gyprock fire rated plasterboard products are manufactured with special additives to enhance their fire resistance properties. The additives slow the progress of heat and flame, and when used as part of a CSR fire rated system, provide performance options suitable for many construction types.
CSR provides a range of wall and ceiling systems, junction and penetration details, which meet and exceed the requirements of the Building Code of Australia. These solutions often include a combination of plasterboard, insulation, sealants and accessories to reach various performance criteria.

Introduction
Among the various safety measures, fire protection stands out as a critical area. This is where Gyprock's fire-rated wall and ceiling systems come into the picture. Designed to enhance the fire resistance of buildings, these systems are essential for both commercial and residential constructions.
What is fire resistant plasterboard?
Fire-resistant plasterboard, often referred to as fire-rated or fireproof plasterboard, is a specialized type of drywall designed to resist the spread of fire. Unlike standard plasterboard, which is made primarily of gypsum sandwiched between layers of paper, fire-resistant plasterboard includes materials that enhance its ability to withstand high temperatures.
What is Gyprock Fyrchek?
Gyprock Fyrchek is a specially formulated plasterboard designed for use in fire and acoustic wall and ceiling systems. Known for its pink face paper, this plasterboard incorporates a fire-resistant gypsum core reinforced with glass fibres and other additives to enhance its fire-retardant properties. It's an ideal choice for areas requiring increased fire protection, such as inter-tenancy walls, shafts, and public spaces in commercial and multi-residential buildings.
