Gypsum fibre boards RIGIDUR
For all applications: floor, wall, ceiling, roof & timber construction
Thanks to an innovative production process, Rigidur gypsum fibreboards made from natural gypsum and recycled paper fibres not only meet the requirements of ultra-modern drywall building materials, but their very smooth yet hard surface also makes them suitable for construction projects with increased demands on structural integrity, fire protection or sound insulation.
RIGIPS offers a wide range of products with outstanding properties through its Rigidur product line. These products are suitable for various applications, including flooring — with the option of installing underfloor heating — as well as walls, ceilings, roofs and timber construction.
RIGIDUR – for everything...
Floor - Rigidur dry screed elements
Rigips' Rigidur floor elements are made of pre-primed gypsum fibre with a stepped edge, with no backing material underneath. They have an extremely hard and smooth surface. The Rigidur floor element enables the quick installation of dry screed floors, including those requiring fire protection, in new builds and renovation projects. They are also suitable for installation with underfloor heating (see below).
One of the standout advantages of the Rigidur floor system over conventional screeds is its extremely short construction time. While it usually takes 28 days for cement screed to dry, floor coverings can be applied to Rigidur dry screed floors after just 24 hours. Rigidur floor elements provide a safe foundation for all common floor coverings, including parquet, laminate, carpet, tiles and vinyl.
Rigidur floor elements weigh less than half as much as a cement screed of the same thickness. This significantly reduced ceiling load allows for greater flexibility in floor design. Rigidur floor elements are ideal for all household wet rooms, including bathrooms and kitchens.
Floor - Rigidur & underfloor heating
Rigidur dry screed floor in combination with an Ecotherm underfloor heating milling machine
Not only does underfloor heating create a pleasant, cosy warmth, but it also offers plenty of creative freedom in room planning and design. It can be installed in new buildings or as part of energy-efficient renovations to older properties.
Retrofitting modern heat pumps in existing buildings can easily be combined with underfloor heating. For this application, the following combination is ideal: a dry screed made from Rigidur elements with an integrated underfloor heating system from ECOtherm. ECOtherm GmbH's milling technique enables a highly efficient underfloor heating system to be installed in the Rigidur dry screed floor.
The systems' low installation height and quick installation without long drying times are particularly convincing. This makes them ideal for renovation or modernisation projects, letting you enjoy the cosy warmth of underfloor heating without compromise. They are also suitable for modern heat pump retrofits...
Floor - Rigidur attic element for the insulation of uninhabited attics
The Rigidur attic element 032 TF 85 consists of pre-primed gypsum fibre elements with a stepped rebate. Extremely hard and smooth surface with special EPS lamination on the underside (EPS 032 DEO). The Rigidur attic element 032 TF 85 by RIGIPS is specifically designed for insulating top-floor ceilings in accordance with GEG requirements.
By optimising the insulation of the top floor ceiling of an average detached single-family home, CO2 emissions can be reduced by around 28%, making a significant contribution to climate protection.
Insulating the ceiling of the top floor results in sustainable energy savings of up to 90%, thus reducing heating costs.
The attic can still be used for other purposes, including expanding the living space, and there are no restrictions on the rooms below it...
Wall & ceiling - Rigidur H - gypsum fibre boards
Rigidur H is a homogeneous gypsum fibreboard with sharp edges. It has a pre-primed, smooth and hard-wearing surface. It is used to create robust wall and ceiling systems that require fire protection and sound insulation, as well as in domestic wet rooms.
For drywall constructions with particularly high load requirements, RIGIPS offers various intelligent solutions featuring Rigidur H gypsum fibreboards, which are ideal for comprehensive room design. Rigidur H gypsum fibreboards are ideal for building walls and ceilings and are particularly well-suited to timber construction, providing a smart, high-quality alternative to OSB boards. Rigidur H offers a variety of advantages that benefit every construction...
Roof - Rigidur attic conversion
What about a cosy spot in the sun, right under the eaves? Unused attics and spaces under the roof offer ideal opportunities to expand your living area. Old, dark attics are virtually unrecognisable after being transformed into modern, light-filled loft studios.
By creating a practical guest room, a hobby room or a space for children with minimal effort, you'll not only make your property more comfortable, you'll also increase its overall value. You’ll save money in the long run by investing wisely. With the right insulation and sturdy Rigidur gypsum fibreboard, you can reduce energy costs, help the environment and shield yourself from summer heat...
Timber construction - Rigidur & timber Construction
Do you place special importance on healthy living and sustainability when building?
Then, by using a combination of wood and gypsum for your building materials, you can enjoy all the advantages. The combination of these two natural materials for human well-being and the environment is remarkable. The positive properties of wood for construction and of gypsum fibre boards for surfacing complement each other perfectly when building.
From single and two-family homes to large, multi-storey buildings and extensions and densifications in urban centres, Rigidur gypsum fibre boards for timber construction meet all structural requirements and individual needs.
