Properties of Grenaboard
Grenaboard is a very light and strong non-combustible board produced from vermiculite and inorganic binder. This board is surfaced on both sides with paper and all four edges pressed for easy connection.
Grenaboard is certified in fire membrane function for various types of ceiling structures, either hanging the ceiling structure, or derectly on a wood beam ceiling.
Only one worker is required to install. Installation is the same for all types of ceiling structures and fire resistance.
Higher base price of the board is compensated by lower price for mounting profiles and elements and significantly less laborious assembly.
Reaction to fire according to ČSN EN 13501-1: A1 – non-combustible
Basic conditions of use
When using Grenaboard boards for suspended ceilings on various load-bearing structures (steel, wood, concrete) the following conditions of use must be observed:
- Mineral wool with density 40 kg/m3, thickness 40 mm on suspended ceiling from Grenaboard
- Height of cavity between lower face of floor slab and upper face of membrane shall be at least 264 mm
-
Roof slab slope shall be in the range of 0 – 25°
-
No combustible material in the cavity
-
A light or revision hole with a dimension of 600×600 mm may be installed in the ceiling
-
The material of the floor above the steel beams is not limited. It is possible to use different materials.
-
Steel designed temperature calculated for 500 °C. Please contact Grena a.s. representive for other conditions.
-
It is possible to use alternative CD quick hangers, flat or four-point
-
Assembling of fire-resistant constructions approved after technical consultation


Machining and processing Grenaboard
Grenaboard vermiculite boards are easily machined with conventional woodworking tools. When working with them, there is minimal dust.
