About Us

PLAtecTM a Lafarge Plâtres subsidiary, creates plasterboard volumes and shapes.

These made to measure solutions feature in hotels, restaurants, stores, entertainment venues, shopping malls, offices, and communal areas of buildings.

An exclusive technology

Exclusive on the French market, PLAtec solutions are an attractive alternative for works normally produced using staff, wood or metal. In addition to customized solutions, PLAtec also produces more conventional works such as fully invisible inspection doors and cornices.

PLAtec relies on top of the range equipment to manufacture its pieces

All types of machining can be carried out, however specific or complex the request: CNC cutting of all straight or complex shapes; curving of all radii; milling for bending and clean finishing of corners and edges, and glue, lamination, and screw assembly. PLAtec is also unique in its capacity to supply 120mm radius non-machined curved pieces.

PLAtec's made to measure service includes:

  • customized solutions
  • advice service from a qualified team with installation and joining experience
  • deadlines, feasibility study and quotes within two days, and delivery within 10 to 15 days
  • assistance to companies as required during technical synthesis meetings etc.
  • support to companies for complex installations
  • tailor-made logistics from workshops in France and Germany.

New shapes and volumes reinvent plasterboard

Once validated by the contractors, the shapes are prefabricated in the workshops. The plasterboards are cut using CNC cutting tools to guarantee accuracy to a tenth of a mm.

The shapes are then milled and grooved before being bent, curved, and assembled by glue, lamination, and screw assembly, resulting in a clean finish of impeccable quality. The individually numbered elements are delivered on site in special packaging. The various pieces are then assembled and installed by the plaster works company.

Know-how

PLAtec solutions encompass the following possibilities:

  • cutting out all straight and complex shapes
  • milling and grooving for bending to all angles
  • curving plasterboards of all radii and curving to variable radii (cones)
  • glue, lamination, and screw assembly
  • finishings.

PLAtec solutions are characterized by three levels of technical complexity:

  • Simple pieces, produced by bending and CNC cutting, are a popular choice due to their speedy installation, guaranteed impeccable finishing, and regularity with regard to repetitive elements.
  • Larger pieces integratingoverhangs, within the framework of the provisions of DTU 25-41 relating to plasterboard partition works.
  • Geometrically complex pieces including more particular shapes, large size pieces integrating wood or ironwork structures, and elements designed for difficult environments integrating vent ducts, cable runs etc. PLAtec then supplies the companies with details and an installation drawing.

PLAtec solutions integrate seamlessly into the company workflow:

  • upstream design and definition of the solution with the specifiers,
  • optimization of solutions and elements, taking other plasterboard works and installation methods into account,
  • on-site delivery and technical assistance.
