Gyprock Fyrchek used on The Provincial Ballarat

A renovation to the interiors of The Provincial Ballarat hotel features Gyprock Fyrchek plasterboard. The 1909 heritage-listed building was extensively refurbished in order to “bring it back to its former glory.” The use of Gyprock Fyrchek allowed for the creation of a luxurious and open space with high ceilings, while helping to meet fire safety and noise requirements. “We chose Fyrchek as it meant we could meet the fire safety and noise requirements without having to sacrifice the loft-like atmosphere we were trying to create,” says developer Darren Fraser.

Gyprock Fyrchek is part of Gyprock’s specialty range of plasterboards. It is a fire- and acoustic-grade board with a specially processed glass fibre-reinforced gypsum core for use in fire-rated wall and ceiling systems and where improved acoustic performance is required. gyprock.com.au
