GIB Curveline® – New Product
Monday, 10 February 2025
By Gordon White
Winstone Wallboards is pleased to advise that a new plasterboard product called GIB Curveline® is now available.
6.5mm GIB Curveline® has been specifically formulated to allow the creation of tightly curved walls, to help add a unique and modern architectural look to any interior space.
10mm and 13mm GIB® plasterboard can also be used to form curved walls however GIB Curveline® can accommodate a 250mm minimum radius for convex curves and 450mm minimum radius for concave curves.
GIB Curveline® sheets can be fixed horizontally or vertically and are typically installed as a two-layer system so it’s easy to then align with adjoining 13mm GIB® plasterboard interior linings.
In additional to 6.5mm GIB Curveline®, two new Rondo® Flexible Track options are also available to help to make accurate formation of curved wall frames quicker and easier. Rondo® Flexible Tracks run along the top and bottom of the curved wall area, with supporting studs then positioned into the tracks with GIB Curveline® sheets then fastened to the wall framing.
