Engineered specifically for structural integrity, moisture mitigation, and speed of assembly in contemporary Serbian commercial developments.
The construction sector in Serbia, particularly in urban nodes like Belgrade, Novi Sad, and Niš, is experiencing a period of significant growth. Projects such as the landmark Belgrade Waterfront (Beograd na vodi) development, high-density residential developments, and the expansion of modern industrial parks require efficient, scalable interior solutions. In response to this acceleration, drywall assemblies have transitioned from simple partition solutions to highly engineered structural partition walls.
Gypsum boards (gips-kartonske ploče) have become the default choice for modern projects in Serbia due to their fire resistance, thermal characteristics, and ease of installation. Meeting local construction parameters—specifically aligned with SRPS (Institute for Standardization of Serbia) and harmonized European standards (EN 520)—is no longer optional. Modern contractors require certified performance data proving high acoustic attenuation (dB ratings) and reliable fire performance, especially in high-density multi-family structures and commercial centers.
Globally, the drywall manufacturing sector is moving toward decarbonization and circular supply chains. Standard raw materials are being complemented by high-purity synthetic gypsum (such as FGD—Flue Gas Desulfurization gypsum), reducing environmental impact while maintaining structural parameters. Additionally, international buyers are requiring Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) to verify the low-carbon status of their interior building materials.
At Tangshan Haofa, our direct supply network utilizes advanced manufacturing processes to ensure that paper-faced drywall boards conform to CE, ASTM, and EN standards. By optimizing core formulas with fiberglass reinforcements and silicone oils, we deliver boards that provide fire resistance and moisture control. This helps international developers optimize material usage and achieve green building certifications like LEED or BREEAM.
A drywall panel's performance depends heavily on the sub-frame framing system. Tangshan Haofa specializes in both high-grade gypsum boards and OEM Galvanized Light Steel Keels. When standard drywall is paired with hot-dip galvanized steel studs (with zinc coating weights engineered to resist rusting in damp microclimates), the overall assembly gains significant shear resistance and sound-damping capability.
| Board Class (EN 520) | Typical Application | Core Modification | Thermal Conductivity (W/m·K) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Type A (Standard) | General ceiling and wall drylining | Standard high-purity calcium sulfate dihydrate | 0.19 - 0.24 |
| Type H (Moisture Resistant) | Bathrooms, kitchens, laundry spaces | Silicone oil / Hydrophobic core treatment | 0.21 - 0.25 |
| Type F (Fire Resistant) | Lift shafts, fire corridors, party walls | Glass fiber reinforcement & mineral additives | 0.24 - 0.28 |
The next phase of drywall development features integrated functional smart materials. R&D is focused on embedding Phase Change Materials (PCMs) within the gypsum core. These organic or inorganic compounds absorb latent heat during daytime temperature spikes and release it as the building cools, acting as an automated thermal battery. This technology reduces cooling loads in continental climates like Serbia's, where summer temperatures can exceed 38°C.
Acoustic performance is also shifting toward micro-perforated sound absorption configurations. By pairing acoustic drywall panels with sound-absorbing backings like rockwool or MDF panels, building designers can achieve clean interior finishes without compromising architectural acoustics. This is particularly beneficial in multi-use complexes and corporate offices throughout Eastern Europe.
