In late January 2014, a fire broke out at a Karaoke Bar located in Burwood NSW and threatened to spread to adjoining residential boarding properties. The boarding properties had been built with Gyprock Fyrchek plasterboard, which ultimately saved the building from the spread of fire and extensive fire damage.
The karaoke bar was severely damaged by the fire while the adjoining boarding properties suffered minimal and mainly cosmetic damage. The builders inspecting the property attributed this to the use of Gyprock Fyrchek. The product’s processed glass fibre-reinforced gypsum core is specially designed for use in fire rated wall and ceiling systems and where improved acoustic performance is required.
