Besides insulation, which many people are familiar with, gypsum boards are another popular material used in room construction and in building high-rise structures. Gypsum also has good thermal insulation properties. But between insulation and gypsum boards, which one is better and provides better heat protection? Today, we have the answers to your questions.
What is Gypsum? Is it Better than Insulation?
Gypsum boards are materials used for walls or ceilings. They are lightweight and come in large board forms. Inside, they consist of compressed gypsum powder, covered on the outside with high-quality white paper, resulting in a smooth surface. These boards can be installed and used as needed, often for creating partition walls or finishing work. In wooden houses that require air conditioning, gypsum can be used instead of brick or cement walls.
When it comes to the question that many homeowners have—between insulation and gypsum, which one provides better heat protection? The honest answer is that these two materials have very similar applications. However, in terms of heat insulation quality, insulation is superior. It effectively reduces the temperature inside rooms, houses, buildings, and factories. Insulation comes in various forms, each with different efficiency, but most focus on reflecting heat away from the space, thereby lowering the temperature and reducing heat buildup. Additionally, it helps save energy.
On the other hand, gypsum, although versatile for ceiling installation, partition walls, or service channels, offers significantly less heat protection compared to insulation. It is also less durable than insulation. However, its advantage lies in its lower cost, making it a viable option for temporary use, which can still last a reasonable amount of time. In any case, both materials have their pros and cons, so the choice between insulation and gypsum depends on the user’s needs.
