For the Designer
Powerscape Distinction is an entirely new class of lining material with many high performance features, including entirely new spatial design capabilities. Suited for both quality paint and tile finishes, and for interior use in dry and wet areas' they are designed to allow one product to do the whole job. Joints are much stronger than plasterboard and fibre cement. They have twice the impact resistance of equivalent thickness plasterboard. Compared with fibre cement, they are stronger and much easier to install and finish (and repair, if necessary). See also Wall Design - Fire and Acoustic information below.

Powerscape Peacekeeper Intertenancy Wall System Designs
Powerscape linings enable intertenancy walls to be constructed that have very small wallprints. The following special intertenancy systems Quick Facts summaries are available for the Australian market, or for other markets see the full range of systems below.

Note that full single page specifications for all these systems are available to download under Literature Resources.
Wall Design - Fire and Acoustic
The high density and unique stiffness of Powerscape linings result in excellent noise transmission reduction properties. Acoustic performance is similar to and sometimes better then that of special high density plasterboard products. The fire resistance of Powerscape lined walls generally equals that obtained with regular plasterboard, and is significantly better in terms of resistance to surface spread of flame due to the absence of a surface paper.

A wide range of Powerscape acoustic and fire rated wall design options are available, for steel and timber frames, as shown in the following short downloadable files. Full specifications for each of the wall designs shown are available to download in Literature Resources.
