How thick is gypsum board in Singapore?
In Singapore, gypsum board thickness for aluminum ceiling and facade systems typically ranges from 9.5mm to 15mm, depending on the application. Standard 12.5mm boards are most common for general-purpose ceilings, balancing durability and weight for aluminum framing. For enhanced soundproofing, thicker 15mm acoustic gypsum boards are recommended, often paired with noise-dampening mineral wool or aluminum-backed insulation to meet Singapore’s BCA (Building and Construction Authority) acoustic standards.
Aluminum ceilings and facades benefit from lightweight gypsum boards, as they reduce structural load while maintaining fire resistance (Class O or Class 1 ratings). Custom projects may use 9.5mm boards for curved designs or layered systems. Our company specializes in integrating gypsum boards with aluminum frameworks, ensuring seamless installation and compliance with SS 532 (Singapore’s fire safety code).
For commercial spaces like offices or hotels, we recommend 12.5mm–15mm boards to optimize noise reduction and thermal efficiency. Contact us for a site-specific assessment to select the ideal thickness for your project’s performance and budget!
