HeatBloc Gypsum Board
HeatBloc Gypsum Board is a durable, export-quality interior board engineered for enhanced thermal efficiency and indoor comfort. A metallic foil layer on the back side reflects up to 89% of radiant heat, helping reduce heat transfer and improve energy performance in buildings.
Its lightweight structure ensures easy handling and quick installation while delivering good thermal insulation and dependable acoustic performance. When installed with proper insulation, it provides sound protection in the range of STC 35–60 dB. Being non-combustible, HeatBloc Gypsum Board enhances fire safety without compromising strength or reliability.
Manufactured from health-safe, environmentally friendly materials, HeatBloc Gypsum Board poses no health hazards and is fully recyclable, making it a sustainable solution for modern residential, commercial, and industrial interiors.

What is HeatBloc Gypsum Board?
HeatBloc Gypsum Board is a specialized interior gypsum board designed to improve thermal efficiency and indoor comfort. It features a metallic foil layer on the back of the board that reflects radiant heat and can help reduce heat transfer.
The board is also described as non-combustible and suitable for residential, commercial and industrial interior applications.
What are the main benefits of HeatBloc Gypsum Board?
HeatBloc is designed to provide several performance benefits in one board. Its metallic foil backing reflects up to 89% of radiant heat, helping reduce heat transfer, while its lightweight construction supports easier handling and installation.
Timberline also describes the board as providing thermal insulation and acoustic performance, while its non-combustible construction contributes to fire safety.
How does HeatBloc Gypsum Board help reduce heat transfer?
The board uses a metallic foil layer on its rear surface to reflect radiant heat. Timberline states that the foil backing can reflect up to 89% of radiant heat, helping reduce the amount of radiant heat transferred through the building system.
Its effectiveness as part of a building’s thermal system will depend on factors such as the overall wall or ceiling construction, insulation, installation and surrounding environmental conditions.
What is the purpose of the metallic foil backing?
The metallic foil backing is designed to reflect radiant heat away from the building envelope. This helps reduce radiant heat transfer through the wall or ceiling assembly and can contribute to improved indoor thermal comfort.
The foil layer is therefore a key feature that distinguishes HeatBloc from conventional gypsum boards that do not have the same reflective backing.
Where is HeatBloc Gypsum Board suitable for use?
HeatBloc is intended for interior applications where reducing heat transfer and improving indoor comfort are important considerations. It can be used in residential, commercial and industrial interiors.
It may be particularly relevant for projects where thermal performance is an important part of the wall or ceiling specification, while the board’s acoustic and non-combustible characteristics can provide additional performance benefits.
Can HeatBloc be used for walls and ceilings?
HeatBloc is designed as an interior board and can be incorporated into wall and ceiling systems where its thermal properties are required.
The framing, insulation, fixing method and overall system should be selected according to the requirements of the specific installation. The thermal performance of the finished assembly will depend on the complete construction rather than the board alone.
Does HeatBloc Gypsum Board also provide fire resistance?
HeatBloc is described by Timberline as non-combustible, which contributes to fire safety in interior applications.
However, the fire resistance rating of a complete wall or ceiling system depends on the entire assembly, including the board configuration, framing and other components. HeatBloc should therefore not be treated as a standalone substitute for a tested fire-rated system.
Does HeatBloc provide acoustic insulation?
HeatBloc also provides acoustic performance when installed with appropriate insulation. Timberline states that the system can provide sound protection in the range of STC 35–60 dB when installed with proper insulation.
The actual acoustic performance will depend on the complete wall or ceiling construction, including the framing, insulation, number of board layers and installation details.
What size is HeatBloc Gypsum Board available in?
HeatBloc Gypsum Board is available in a 1200 × 2400 mm (4 × 8 ft) format.
When calculating the quantity required for a project, the total wall or ceiling area should be considered along with allowances for cutting, joints and installation.
How do I choose the right gypsum board for my project's environmental requirements?
The appropriate gypsum board depends on the main performance requirements of the project. HeatBloc is particularly relevant when thermal performance and radiant heat reduction are important considerations.
Other specialized boards in the Elephant range address different requirements. For example, FireBloc Gypsum Board is designed for enhanced fire-resistant performance, while EchoBloc Gypsum Board is designed for sound absorption. The selection should be based on the environmental conditions and performance requirements of the complete wall or ceiling system.
