JPS Robust Performance Board

Technical Specification

Product Description

The JPS Robust Performance Board is a high-performance homogeneous dry lining board manufactured from recycled gypsum and recycled cellulose fibres derived from post-consumer paper, bonded using recycled water.

The board provides the installation speed of drywall systems with the durability and robustness of solid construction, making it suitable for high-performance partition and lining systems.

Applications

The JPS Robust Performance Board is suitable for a wide range of internal and structural dry lining applications including:

  • Internal partition walls (load-bearing and non-load-bearing)

  • Wall linings

  • Ceilings and suspended ceilings

  • Floor systems

  • Sheathing boards for load-bearing and non-load-bearing external wall constructions

These boards are used for planking and cladding structural components in dry construction systems.
