Traditional building constructions have a massive impact on the environment. As urban construction is expected to rise, there will be an increase in demand for sustainable construction methods such as gypsum based drywalls. Habito the latest innovation of Gyproc India will take the lead on sustainable habitat solutions in future combined with performance.

Habito, a new variant in the drywall space, is installed like any other gypsum board, but allows users to fix items, such as TV brackets, cabinets, white board, lacquered glass, wall hanging instruments or any other heavy items. This can be done without specialist fixings or using ply support, by simply fixing the screw directly into the wall. It delivers load carrying capacity of 30 kg on each screw due to its dense core and patented technology-which means 120 kg can be safely mounted using only 4 screws. Apart from fixing strength it absorbs knocks and bangs and dramatically reduces wear and tear on wall.

Installed just like any other gypsum board, Habito drywall combines the strength and fixing capacity of masonry or ply with the benefits of drywall.”

Sudeep Kolte, VP Sales and Marketing at Gyproc India adds, “Buildings and living spaces need to adapt to the changing requirements of their occupants, hence flexibility is critical. Habito Drywall has been created with a new standard of performance that delivers superior well-being to occupants as compared to traditional options like brick and block or ply.”
