Gypsum Boards
GypSorb perforated acoustical gypsum boards offer excellent acoustical quality and a dramatic visual appeal. The GypSorb product line features many different perforation patterns and sizes to create the look and feel desired in each project. The gypsum boards contain no VOCs. Using the Hemholtz resonance theorem as a design basis, GypSorb acoustic absorbing gypsum panels consume large quantities of ambient sound energy. This creates significantly quieter atmospheres for any space where the listening or learning environment is critical.
