Every document below is sent by email against a named project, because reports and drawings are versioned and we would rather you worked from the current edition. Name the item and the project; the file comes back with the standard it was tested to.
One datasheet per range, carrying the same values as the test report rather than rounded-up figures. Where a parameter has no report, the datasheet says so.
Reports are issued per product and per standard; ask for the combination you are specifying and you receive the PDF, not a summary.
Drawings are issued as details, not a catalogue, because interfaces cause the failures: ceiling perimeter to a curved wall, wall base to coved floor, panel joint at a door frame.
One page, four ceiling types, the properties that decide a hospital specification. The GRP column is ours, with the standards shown; the other three describe those categories generally — check the manufacturer's datasheet before comparing.
| Property | GRP antibacterial | Mineral fibre (typical) | Aluminium (typical) | Gypsum board (typical) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Fire classification | A2-S2,d0,t0 (EN 13501-1) | Varies by product | Varies by system | Board and framing vary |
| Water absorption | 0.3% | Absorbs, sags | Not affected | Softens, crumbles |
| Antibacterial | 99.5% (JIS Z 2801) | Facings only | Coating dependent | None inherent |
| Demountable | Repeatedly | Usually single use | Lay-in systems | No |
| Designed service life | 25–30 years | ~10 years | ~10 years | ~5 years |
| Cleaning | Resistant to strong acids and alkalis | Dry clean, replace when saturated | Damp wipe | Repaint to refresh |
The sheet also carries the acoustic ceiling figures (NRC ≥ 0.90, Class A) and the wall panel options.
State the item, the product range, the standard if you have one, and the project. If you are working to a BOQ or a consultant's specification, send it and we will mark the clauses our ranges meet and those they do not. A named engineer replies within one working day.
All requests route through the quotation and enquiry form.
Tell us the surfaces and the project; the matching datasheets, reports and details come back by email.
