Decorative interior wall tiles vermiculite panels
Vermiculite board is made from a naturally occurring aluminium-magnesium silicate layer that has been already expanded with the application of heat. This expansion process is called exfoliation and the resulting material is used in bulk form or processed to boards by a press forming process. The board can be worked easily with wood working tools. It can be sawn, drilled and sanded.

While this type of board can be thin, it can also be chunky like a brick. Large blocks are still often marketed as vermiculite board. They weigh much less than a block of that size made of concrete or other dense materials. Vermiculite board can come in a variety of colors. The shade will usually range from light and straw-colored to a darker and more reddish brown. Thick vermiculite boards of this type can be used anywhere there is a need for heat resistance, soundproofing or insulation.
There are many other uses for vermiculite besides boards and bricks. It is sometimes put into walls and attics in loose form as insulation. Drywall made from gypsum, also commonly called gypsum board, often contains vermiculite and other heatproof materials. Gypsum is already an insulating and fire-resistant material, so the addition of vermiculite and other substances makes the product even safer. The addition of vermiculite usually also makes the wallboard more soundproof. Gypsum board is the most common drywalling product used today, so many homes contain vermiculite in this form.
Vermiculite has the ability to absorb several times its weight in water which also makes it a popular choice for moisture adsorption.
Vermicuilte board is a new security, eco-friendly, fireproofing and thermal insulation material for new construction material. It has good performance of heat retaining, noise reduction, soundproofing, moisture absorbing and releasing, harmful substance decomposition, negative oxygen ions produing etc.
Its good strength and reworkable features endow the vermiculite board to civil construction field such as wall cladding panels, ceiling tiles, partition wall etc.
