In the construction industry, ensuring fire safety is an absolute priority. At Geostaff, we employ two techniques to provide this protection: A) glue + fiber reinforced gypsum and B) the glue and screw method.
One of the commonly used methods to enhance fire resistance in structures is the glue and fiber reinforced gypsum technique. Today, we are going to delve deeper into this process, its importance, and how it is applied to fire protective boards.
What is glue and fiber reinforced gypsum ?
Glue and fiber reinforced gypsum is a technique that ensures the sealing of joints and connections using tow (a type of natural or synthetic fiber) and plaster. This method is often used to reinforce the effectiveness of fire protective boards, thus preventing the spread of fires.

GEOTEC S fire protective boards and ventilation ducts play a crucial role in a building’s fire resistance. Geostaff’s products are designed to withstand extremely high temperatures, ensuring efficient ventilation and smoke extraction in case of fires, thereby limiting the fire’s spread through walls and floors. The glue and fiber reinforced gypsum technique is one of the installation methods that enhance these characteristics.
Glue and fiber reinforced gypsum in practice
The vidéo you will find below illustrates the glue and fiber reinforced gypsum technique, showing how to correctly apply the tow and plaster, two essential components of this process.
In this video, we guide the viewer through the detailed steps of applying the tow and plaster during the glue and fiber reinforced gypsum process. The tow is used in conjunction with sealing products such as GEOCOL glue. The plaster in then used to adhere and seal the tow, ensuring a highly effective fire protective joint.

Fires represent a constant risk in any construction. Applying glue and fiber reinforced gypsum to fire protective boards provides an additional layer of protection. By enhancing the sealing of joints and connections, this method helps to improve the effectiveness of fire protective boards, thereby contributing to the overall safety of the building.
