Fire safe and Bushfire safe building board Victoria
Are you looking for high quality plasterboard or building board? If yes, then you have come to the right place. Plasterboard is one amid the great many materials that have been used in construction over 60 years. Made from simplest materials paper and gypsum it has been used in many buildings sorts in a wide assortment of applications including sound control, wall lining, fire protection and partitions. However if suffers from a large range of issues in longevity,high ongoing damage maintenance and more particularly in a very poor Environmental performance with High pollutive CO2 in manufacturing.
Utilizing high performance and top notch quality insulation products, like FireCrunch, can work effectively to deliver utmost fire protection and safety solutions, which aid in meeting lower construction costs and legislative requirements where only 1 layer of 10mm FireCrunch compered to sometimes to 3 layers of 16mm plasterboard 16mm each side of the frame increasing installation and material costs by 200 % . No other Building Board Victoria. NSW can provide the same peace of mind with several years of proven performance amid many building applications.
Why choose FireCrunch?
Our Firerunch is lightweight, strong and excellent building board, which is made using, fibre mesh composites, bonders and magnesium-oxide. It is free of toxins including heavy metals, silica, formaldehyde, organic solvents and various other such materials. This Fire Safe Building Board Victoria has widespread applications in both commercial and residential buildings.
FireCrunch is available nationally in Australia;
Moisture resistance – The board can be safely and aptly mounted in semi-exposed environments or settings and prior to a building being watertight. Thus, in turn contributing to a quicker build.
Amazing dimensional stability – FireCrunch can be utilized even in humid or damp conditions and has no thermal shrinkage.
Resistant to termites – Made from an exclusively formulated, non-toxic sort of fibre composite mix, our Alternative Plasterboard Victoria is impervious to insects and termites.
Slim constructions – It can be utilized to create space-saving robust wall partitions without the requirement for mineral wool in non fire rated areas .
Environment friendly – Due to the makeup of FireCrunch it will last for longer periods than that of standard Plaster Building Boards, thus requiring fewer repairs. Albeit, if the board has been vitally damaged, it can be easily cut RESET and used again, unlike typical plasterboard.
The key environmental impact connected with FireCrunch typically results from the creation or production process, disposal or transportation. But, our environmental building board is made to meet the strict guidelines set by the Government, which focuses on reducing the climatic destructive effects of poor content product of low ECO value .
The building boards offered by us can be used for a variety of other applications;
External/Internal walls
Internal partitions
Roofs, ceilings and floors
Service enclosures
Door upgrades and so on.
As mentioned earlier, the high quality FireCrunch has become most essential for many new building projects where the benefits of lower labour installations and higher cost of multi layers of plasterboard Gyprock become essential factors of consideration in alternate Building construction and FireCrunch products. FireCrunch is a high impact resistant, moisture resistant, 100% fire resistant, tested and certified, non-combustible building board . It has been tested by the CSIRO to 1200 °C with no flame out, easy to cut, work and drill. All in all, FireCrunch is the right choice to consider if safety, high performance and lower cost is of utmost importance to you.

We focus on CSIRO fire tested and NATA Labs approved building boards that go above and beyond certifications in a progression to future-proof construction and high rise residential and commercial buildings today.FireCrunch acknowledge the major threat of all fires and the need for bushfire resistant building boards to protect lives and homes against bushfires which destroy many homes every year in Australia.FireCrunch meets the major threat of ALL fires and the need for bushfire resistant building materials to protect lives and homes in areas to BAL FZ for which it certified.Our goal is also to protect and strengthen homes and properties from such unpredictable threats. Our CSIRO fire tested and approved building boards are unique and totally different to conventional so called fireproof plasterboard products. FireCrunch is high impact and termite resistant, whilst maintaining a very low carbon footprint of only 5% compared to cement based and plasterboard products.Magnesium Oxide (MgO) / Sulphate FireCrunch is an innovative Magnesium Oxide (MgO) composite using only Magnesium Sulphate supplement (MgSO4) and not the metal corrosive Magnesium Chloride which is contained in all MgO available in Australia to date.Victorian Fire StormsBlack Saturday 2009 was Australia’s most damaging bushfire in Victoria, with the death toll being 173. Over 2000 homes were destroyed and It was from these horrific scenarios that the team at FireCrunch decided there needed to be a change, a change giving people the opportunity to build their houses with a more sustainable and fire-resistant building material.We have this FCA material fully tested to the most aggressive BCA requirements under AS1530.4 (C1..C19)-/ 2025 and also as shown in the real time CSIRO video, showing it will ensure buildings constructed with this FireCrunch product will survive fire storms. It was tested in real time live full scale bushfire simulation test by the CSIRO and subsequent additional tests shows FCA meets AS 1530.8.1.2 BAL FZ and the VERY aggressive AS1540.4, 1000 deg C wall systems fire test for 1.5 hours FRL 90/90/90.See our Safety Data Sheet (SDS) more information about the benefits of FireCrunch.FireCrunch – Building Board of the FutureAS1530.4 (C1..C19)-/ 2025 FRL 90/90/90.FIRE SEPARATION WALL, SYSTEMS FIRE TESTED BY THE CSIRO, A NATA ACCREDITED TESTING AUTHORITY FOR (BCA) Building Code of Australia TESTING COMPLIANCE.FireCrunch is an environmental and extensively NATA tested 21st century fireproof building board used in modern construction. It is made from a composition of Magnesium Oxide (Mgo), non-organic minerals, bonders and fibre mesh composites.

ALTERNATIVE SYSTEMS (NCC).Health & SafetyFireCrunch is completely free of harmful toxins and asbestos free building material, therefore eliminates the risk of any negative health impacts. Only environmentally friendly building materials used to produce FireCrunch; mould, mildew and bacteria are unable to live or breed on it. This makes our leading building boards an ideal solution for health sensitive areas including medical centres, hospitals, age care centres, schools, prisons and high traffic public buildingsFireCrunch contains no asbestos or formaldehyde and no toxic chemicals. (See SDS and Technical/FAQs).Hygiene and FireCrunchDue to the manufacturing process and the IP materials used to produce FireCrunch, mould, mildew, germs, viruses, bacteria and the like are unable to live or breed. This makes FireCrunch an ideal solution for use in areas where there are concerns with allergies and health.Building & CostingsTypical 10mm non-fire rated plasterboard or so called 13mm fireproof plasterboard as well as single sheets of plasterboard cannot meet high-rise and commercial building FRL Fire resistance levels over 60, 90 and 120 minutes, without the need for multiple layers of fireproof plasterboard in fire separation walls.The 10mm FireCrunch fireproof building board will however move the fire resistance level to FRL 90/90/90 with one 10mm MgO sheet each side of a 92mm steel framed fire separation wall or double stud timber frame. This results in a huge reduction of direct costs in material; more so the expensive labour rate per m2 to install, at least double, and in some cases three layers on each side. The extra hidden costs of the extra site work can increase time and delivery fees for double and even treble the material handling. This should not be overlooked and can vastly help to improve the all-important ROI for the developer builder.Tool RequirementsNo special tools are required to use FireCrunch. It can be sawn, drilled, screwed and planed just like timber. Once in position, our fire rated building boards have an exceptionally long-life span, exceeding that of all homes using conventional plasterboards, paper lined plasterboards or timber lining methods. In addition, no replacement is required after flooding; simply unscrew the building boards from the framing, dry it out, light sand and re-paint. FireCrunch is made for your convenience, adhering to the highest Australian (BCA) standards.
