Impact damage to wall surfaces can add significant maintenance costs over the lifetime of a hospital. Hospital corridors are particularly susceptible to knocks by trolleys and general traffic and therefore require the use of impact resistant lining materials.

Boral Impactstop® plasterboard has been specifically designed for use in high traffic areas such as hospital corridors. High density plasterboard with continuous fibreglass mesh embedded within its core, Impactstop® is particularly effective in resisting soft body impact.

USG Powerscape Fiberock® is an alternative impact resistant lining for high traffic areas. A paperless gypsum board with cellulose fibre reinforcement, Fiberock is particularly effective against hard body and glancing impact.
