  designs, high thermal and acoustic performance, strong fire resistance, and rapid installation

Compartmentation Walls

• Drywall
  Gyproc drywall solutions provide high-performance, fire-rated, acoustic, and moisture-resistant partitions, ensuring safety, durability, and operational efficiency in data center environments.

Roofing

• Low-Carbon Flat Roof Insulation
  Isover flat roof insulation delivers low-carbon solutions with excellent thermal efficiency, fire protection, and mechanical resistance for data center roofs.
• Prefabricated Timber Frame Roofing Elements
  Isover insulation and Gyproc plasterboards for prefabricated roof element systems enables fast, reliable, and cost-effective roof construction.

Ceilings

• Acoustic Ceiling
  Ecophon ceiling tiles provide cleanroom-rated, low-emission acoustic ceilings with excellent light reflectance and ease of maintenance – ideal for data center environments
• Suspended Ceiling Systems
  Gyproc suspended ceiling systems are suitable for internal areas requiring specific fire, thermal, structural, and acoustic performance

Pipes & Pipe Insulation

• Foam Insulations
  Kaimann Kaiflex HFplus is a flexible, closed-cell rubber insulation with a built-in vapour barrier. It is halogen-free and designed for data center pipework to prevent corrosion and energy loss.
• Below Ground Pipe
  PAM provides durable, corrosion-resistant ductile iron piping system, ensuring reliability, safety and efficiency for critical data center infrastructure and cooling networks.

Fire-proofing Solutions

• Structural FIre Protection
  Glasroc® F FireCase is a frameless structural steel encasement system providing up to 120 minutes of fire protection for a wide range of beams, columns, and joists.
• Fire-Rated Glazing
  Vetrotech fire-rated glazing enables critical compartmentation against fire, smoke, and heat while maintaining visibility and safeguarding uptime in data center zones.

Smoke Extraction & Ventilation

• Smoke Extraction and Ventilation Ducts
  Isover CLIMAVER® duct system offers lightweight, airtight, pre-insulated ventilation ducts with excellent thermal, acoustic and fire performance for efficient building services integration. U Protect fire-rated duct solutions ensure fire safety of ventilation and smoke extraction ducts for up to two hours.
• Fire-Resistant Sealant and Mortars
  Saint-Gobain sealants and Isover Protect fire stopping solutions seal cable and pipe penetrations, prevent fire spread, and ensure regulatory compliance in data center environments

Foundations

• Lightweight Expanded Clay Aggregate
  When constructing over weak underground voids or soils with low bearing capacity, load compensation can be achieved using Leca® Lightweight Expanded Clay Aggregate, reducing structural loads while ensuring stability.
• Barrier Solutions
  GCP PREPRUFE® membranes offer pre-applied, fully bonded waterproofing that prevents water/gas ingress and migration – ideal for data-center sub-structures’ integrity.

Flooring

• Industry Floor Solutions
  Weber 4655 Industry Flow Rapid is a pumpable, fast-setting cementitious levelling screed designed for industrial floors, enabling rapid installation and early floor covering.
• Design Floor Solutions
  Weber Design-Floor is a modern flooring system for architects, designers, and planners seeking durable and aesthetic floor solutions based on cement-based coatings.

By integrating Saint-Gobain’s solutions into your data center projects, you can: 

• Deliver projects faster by leveraging our modular, high-quality construction systems designed for speed and repeatability.
• Reduce both embodied and operational carbon across the building envelope and technical systems.
• Enhance thermal stability and fire resilience in critical infrastructure environments.
• Meet global building standards such as LEED and BREEAM through our extensive, verified product documentation, including Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs).

Saint-Gobain helps reduce the climate impact of the built environment by offering low-carbon, circular economy and well-being-promoting building products with recycled raw materials, recycling and take-back services, and by acting as an expert partner and solution provider for sustainable, low-carbon construction.

We have a wide range of solutions for low-carbon construction and fact-based information and documentation for experts. Our solutions support international and local building environmental certifications such as the Nordic Swan Ecolabel, LEED, BREEAM and RTS.
