LSU panel: modern and multi-functional analog of GCR

At this time, LSU panel - a very popular material that is used in all areas of construction. It replaced the universal drywall. LSU sheets - a modern material is a composite of glass plate. On the characteristics of LSU sheets, their features, areas of application, as well as many other things you will learn from this publication.

LSU panel: acquainted with the new modern building materials

Of glass sheets or Magneli - is a completely new sheet material, which is widely used in all areas of construction, though appeared on the market not so long ago. Stroylist is used for both internal and exterior finishing. Magneli, magnesite and Steklomagnezitovye boards, magnesite panel, LSU - all names for the same glass-material.

SML different panel strength and excellent water resistance. The material is very similar in its properties to the drywall, which makes it very competitive in the market of products for finishing works. Purchase stroylist not be difficult, since many firms are involved in its implementation.

Rating of glass plates is explained excellent characteristics, ease of handling and an acceptable price. Although the material is easy to cut a fret saw, sawing, drywall knife and other similar tools, it does not mean that Magneli fragile. On the contrary, LSU plate is durable and flexible. Furthermore, during processing of the material is almost not generate dust and debris.

LSU panel made from fiberglass and magnesian binder performing reinforcing function. Magnesia binder - a kind of concrete which is obtained by reacting magnesium chloride and caustic magnesite. Classification LSU panels is dependent on the sheet thickness and quality characteristics of the individual. There are also options for LSU, which are used as decoration. This type of panel does not require additional finishing. Decorative sheets are available on the market in a variety of colors.

Useful advice!During the material selection should be guided by the method of use. For external use is best suited SML premium. The cost of such panels is several times higher than the normal price, but the quality characteristics of glass sheets allow quietly endure the effects of natural factors.

Advantages and disadvantages of glass plates

More recently, gypsum board had no alternatives in the building materials market. But with the advent of glass sheet that is more technologically advanced, the situation has changed. High level performance indicators is explained composition of material which includes natural and organic components. Excellent strength equal density structures are achieved by firing at 2000 ° C.

LSU boards have special advantages over other similar materials:

1. Versatility. The material used in all kinds of finishing: plate thickness less than 6 mm is placed on ceilings, walls suited to the quantity of 6 mm sheet, stroylist 10 mm is laid on the floor, the Magneli thickness of 12 mm or more is used to create a facade cladding, interior partitions.
2. Strength. Magnelitovye plate safely withstand any mechanical damage.
3. Density. Budget material has a density of about 1 kg per m³, Deluxe sheets - 1.5 kg per m³.
4. Ease of handling. Manel easily cut, does not crumble, does not break.
5. Fire safety. Withstand temperatures of more than 1000 ° C, prevents the spread of fire.
6. Moisture resistance. Plate does not absorb water, swell, not blown up, does not change form and does not rot, is not afraid of mold and mildew.
7. Environmentally friendly. It does not cause allergies.

All of these parameters indicate that regardless of the field of application of glass plates - is the best option. The sheets are durable, they are more durable and cheaper drywall tiles. Despite all the advantages, the price of glass sheets sufficiently democratic, that allows the use of the material without restriction.

With regard to the disadvantages of the LSU sheets are characterized in the case of low-quality material. they appear as follows:

1. degradation of the fire resistance and moisture is due to addition of some unscrupulous manufacturers of the asbestos material, lime, chalk. It also leads to the appearance of fine dust, which is very dangerous for people with allergies.
2. low quality plates separated salts which accelerate the processes of putrefaction. This may adversely affect the metal frames and formwork.

There is also a disadvantage is the price for LSU sheet. However, the material cost is compensated for completely different specifications and parameters.

Sheets of glass: specifications LSU plates

Usually magnesite plate consists of materials:

• expanded perlite - 5%;
• Magnesium oxide - 40%;
• magnesium chloride - 35%;
• fine wood shavings - 15%;
• Fiberglass - 1%.

As additional binders added in the synthetic fibers and perlite significantly increases sound insulating characteristics. The main properties of glass sheets: strength, hardness, flame retardancy and moisture resistance. The material is resistant to mold, mildew, a long time is able to save the form under the action of moisture.

To get acquainted with the parameters of glass sheets, you can help this table.

Technical specifications	Value
plate thickness	From 3 to 20 mm
The weight (for a sheet thickness of 8 mm)	From 18 to 24 kg (weight depends on the grade of material)
Strength Flexural resistance (wet - dry state)	17,2-22 MPa
The hardness of the front surface	52.7 MPa
impermeability	95%
frost-resistance	50 cycles, and more
acoustical reduction factor	46 dB
Coefficient of thermal conductivity	0.21 W / m
Refractoriness (for a sheet thickness of 8 mm)	It is able to hold fire within two hours
fire resistance	When heated to +1200 ° C does not support fire
Density	From 980 to 1050 kg / m³
Humidity	From 9 to 11%
The deformation in the wet state	No more than 0.34%
Temperature coefficient of linear expansion	not measured

As for strength, then the material is quite dense, homogeneous texture, while working does not separate. Due to the high performance density has increased wear resistance to mechanical damage and deformation loads.

LSU list: performance and application features of the material

Steklomagnezitovy sheet LSU is very easy to handle. Starting slab edge easily cut through a conventional construction with a knife, after which the sheet to bend in the opposite direction to make the incision site. Then bend similarly cut.

According to the criteria of flexibility LSU plate reminds drywall, plywood, OSB, DSP panel. Without humidification and heating Magneli practically does not have this indicator.

Due to the high level of water resistance of glass plates can be used for treatment of premises, subject to the effect of humidity: saunas, shower rooms, swimming pools, as well as for any external finishing works. This stroylist not absorb water and does not change its structure, does not swell, does not crack from moisture during the maintenance period. According to laboratory tests with premium magnesite plate does not change its properties even after 100 days of stay in the water.

It should be noted environmental LSU sheets. For the production of material are used only natural and natural substances that do not cause harm to humans and the environment. The composition of magnesite tiles do not include asbestos and other harmful components.

Glass-plate - very popular in the material today. This is primarily due to the ease of installation. Magneli ideal for installations both on profile systems of plasterboard, and on wooden frames. Mounting is performed by means of screws or MN TN 25-65. For these purposes it is also possible to use screws with a sharp end is drilled and SN SB 25-40.

In the case of premium plates And it is necessary to produce a light drilling screws under the bonnet. For other types of material, namely for class B - G, it can not do, because the screw sits perfectly in the surface of magnesia sheet. Exceptional durability LSU mounting plate enables even with conventional air gun and the nails, which is totally unacceptable in the case of plasterboard.

Using magnelita allows you to save time and money, since the surface of the material does not require priming before Shpatlevanie, lined with ceramic tiles or wallpaper glue. A soundproof room, lined with magnesia sheet, doubled.

Useful advice!LSU cover plate can be vapor-permeable dyes. If you apply a waterproof paint, the top layer may eventually swell and crack.

A variety of applications of glass sheets

Most often glass-sheets are used for the following types of work:

• all types of external walls, including stone cladding, tiles or stucco;
• internal processing of the walls for painting, wallpapering, tiling and cladding or lining panels Shpatlevanie;
• eliminate irregularities surface of walls, ceilings and floors;
• creating interior partitions, regardless of finishing;

• processing the floor under the laminate or parquet;
• any architectural ideas for the decor of the space;
• finish saunas, bathrooms and swimming pools;
• creating banners, billboards;
• fire protective lining arrangement around foci of spontaneous ignition;
• Sound Insulation.

Useful advice!If the top of the panel will be laid plaster, the Magneli better to install the rear (rough) side facing out. This will provide a tighter grip with facing plate surface.

How much cost the construction of SML house panels

Of glass panels - one of the most popular materials for the construction of a modern home. You can use it all year round, and frame-panel does not require special construction of the foundation. Energy efficiency of buildings is much higher, and the construction costs are lower, do not need special equipment to transport the material.

As for the price SML House, the maximum average cost per square meter is about 25,000 rubles. The result is a living room in which you can enter directly with your furniture. The structure is already installed plumbing, conducted electricity grid, water supply, boiler and completed the work inside the house. Minimum cost per square meter starts from 6000 rubles, but in this house still have to work, as well as the need to spend additional funds.

By the time the premises construction process can take anywhere from two weeks to a month. It is very convenient for those who want a short time to buy a new home. In addition, the construction can be carried out at any time of the year. The use of a magnesium plate allows you to quickly, efficiently and inexpensively get a dream house.

Useful advice! Use LSU sheets can for finishing of the foundation. Mounting is performed on the adhesive or anchors. But in this case it is essential to choose the right type of material, or Magneli not only not stand frost, but will deform under the influence of moisture.

Painted LSU: features and characteristics of the material

Painted panels of glass - this is the best material with the ideal-value, quality, and excellent aesthetic characteristics. The basis of this product is an ordinary magnesite stove, covered with acrylic paints.

Staining is performed by industrial methods - Direct coasting acrylic steel shafts across the sheet surface. At the final stage of the upper layer is applied a protective varnish, which provides an increased level of durability.

The cost of the panels affected by the following characteristics:

• the color of the material;
• the number of sheets that are purchased;
• slab thickness;
• the number of colored sides.

Sometimes magnelita price depends on the category of material. All these parameters together influence the process of production and coloring sheets, as well as the consumption of paints and varnishes. Buy BMM, painted on one side, it can be from 1400 to 1680 rubles. per sheet. Magneli covered with paint on both sides, will cost from 1600 to 1900 rubles. per sheet.

Estimated price LSU sheets of glass

Buy LSU panel can be both internal and external decoration premises, they are used in the construction of buildings and other works. Depending on the application, and also to facilitate the choice of material customers divided into such categories:

1. "Standard" (sheet sizes SML - 1220 to 2500 mm) is from 460 to 730 rubles. for a unit. This material is most suitable for your interior decoration with normal temperature and humidity throughout the year. screws used for mounting.

For securing experts recommend the use of stainless steel screws.
3. "Superpremium" (parameters sheet - 1220 to 2440 mm). LSU Such sheets can be bought from 950 to 1250 rubles. per plate. This material is a specially issued line parameters with improved external surface and the possibility of subsequent painting, laminating, processing, and plastic veneer.
4. "Interior" (magnesite painted plate in the 2440 mm sizes 1220). Buy SML painted perhaps from 1290 to 1450 rubles. a piece.

Tips for choosing a high-quality glass-plate

Sheets of glass (LSU) reviews have a significant number, but not all of them positive. But the popularity of the material does not fall, but on the contrary, the construction of many important state facilities is complete without the application of magnelita. The main problem lies in the fact that at the material there is no marking. Unscrupulous manufacturers take advantage of this, breaking plates production technology.

On the sheets of glass are found negative reviews due to incorrect definition of the scope of application. In addition, the majority of consumers believe that the LSU panel - full replacement of drywall. But it is not, because only certain types stektomagnievogo sheet can be fully utilized instead of plasterboard.

As the price of magnesite slab high enough so as not to spend money for nothing, it is important to know how to distinguish the quality of the panel material semi-artisan production of cheap components:

1. The color of the material. LSU plate of excellent quality is beige or yellow tint. Material often poor quality of white or light-gray color.
2. The edges of the plate. In magnelita poor quality edges are uneven and fragile.
3. The base sheet. Poor quality stroylist covered from the rear side interlining. This reduces the refractoriness of the material.

Useful advice!To check the quality, you can put a piece of steklomagnelita in water for a couple of hours. If the quality stove - water became turbid.

Internal or external finishes of walls constantly in great demand. Due to this market there will always be modern construction materials. At this time enormous popularity have the latest finishing materials, including glass-sheets.

Thanks to modern technology and the creation of exclusively natural components of magnesite plate pushes into the background materials such as drywall and plywood. Excellent technical characteristics of glass sheet (SML), the price - the main advantages of this material. Stroylista feature of this is that one side is smooth and polished, and the other - a relief.
