Universities, courts, and office centers à la FERMACELL? Always good fire resistance and acoustics!

Construction using FERMACELL fiber cement boards demonstrates its exceptional qualities day after day in countless projects in the Czech Republic and abroad. These materials have found wide use not only in wooden family homes, row houses, and apartment buildings, but also in industrial construction, during new builds or renovations of administrative buildings, schools, hospitals, or hotels. FERMACELL fiber cement systems are excellently applied in realizations that place high demands on properties, acoustics, strength, speed of implementation, and working with proven and internationally certified materials. This is evidenced by references from the Polish market, where FERMACELL dry construction systems are exceptionally popular. Their overview is divided into two parts – in the first, we present administrative buildings and schools, and in the second, residential buildings, hotels, and industrial or other objects.

Business House in Łódź - a modern complex of administrative buildings Business House, consisting of three structures that once housed a factory for ironing machines. Today, it is a modern administrative building with an aluminum-glass façade. The complex offers nearly a hectare of office space, and the owners anticipate that up to 600 workstations can be placed here. The requirements included acoustic insulation of 54 dB and fire protection REI 60, which is why FERMACELL fiber cement boards with a thickness of 12.5 mm and FERMACELL floor elements with mineral wool insulation of 10 mm were used for the final interior finish.

ZPP Zenit Office Center in Łódź - for this administrative building, the requirement was fire protection REI 60, EI 60, EI 30, and acoustic insulation of the ceilings. For this reason, the FERMACELL 1S21,2S21 structural system was used. A total of 5,000 m² of FERMACELL boards with a thickness of 12.5 mm were used here.




Building of the District Court in Gliwice - the requirement was fire protection of walls and ceilings in accordance with REI 60, REI 120 and ensuring appropriate acoustic insulation. The solution was the FERMACELL 1S21,1S13,3S21 structural system, with fiber cement boards (a total of 16,000 m²) used in partitions, walls, and floor elements.





TheUniversity of Management in Gdańsk - the basic requirement for this school building was wall constructions with good fire resistance, mechanical resistance, and acoustic insulation necessary in school buildings. The solution was the single-layer wall cladding made of FERMACELL fiber cement boards with a thickness of 12.5 mm. In the realization of this building, 12,500 m² of fiber cement boards were used in the form of the FERMACELL 1S21 structural system.

Faculty of Social Sciences of the University of Gdańsk - for the façade system of this faculty building, FERMACELL POWERPANEL H2O cement boards with a thickness of 12.5 mm and a total area of 3,500 m² were used. These boards are very suitable as a substrate for plaster, and the finishing surface treatment of the façade used the EXTHERM plaster system from Woodcote..

Andrzej Frycz Modrzewski University in Kraków - the requirement was fire resistance (120 min.) and acoustic insulation of ceilings and walls. Veneered fiber cement boards FERMACELL were used in some structures. To ensure appropriate fire protection and acoustic insulation of walls, the FERMACELL structural systems 1S11, 1S21, 1S31, 1S32, 1S41, S1S42 were used. To secure the ceilings, the FERMACELL 2S34 structural system was used. A total of 30,000 m² of FERMACELL boards with thicknesses of 10 and 12.5 mm and an additional 700 m² of veneered FERMACELL boards were consumed.


Faculty of Social Sciences of Wrocław University in Wrocław - the requirement was fire execution of ceiling structures with parameters REI 60, EI 60 and EI 30, as a solution, a fire-resistant construction and acoustic insulation of ceilings utilizing FERMACELL 2E22 floor elements with a thickness of 25 mm with FERMACELL leveling ballast was designed and implemented. A total of 3,000 m² of floor elements were used.
