Overview
Overview
It is one of the two listed thicknesses of Jawdah’s FMR board; the other is 16 mm. Both belong to the fire- and moisture-resistant boards category within Jawdah’s gypsum boards.
Board dimensions, edge profile, weight and the standards the board is tested to are supplied in the data sheet; this page states only what Jawdah’s catalogue lists.
What the board is
Gypsum board is a gypsum core faced on both sides with paper liners, cut and screw-fixed to metal profiles to form partitions, suspended ceilings and wall linings. A moisture-resistant gypsum board is formulated to take up less water than a regular board, for humid rooms such as bathrooms, kitchens and service areas.

Questions about this product
12.5 mm. The same FMR board is also listed in 16 mm.
Humid rooms whose walls or ceilings must also be fire rated: hospital wet areas, hotel bathrooms on rated corridors, commercial kitchens, laundries and service rooms.
In the technical data sheet supplied by Jawdah on request; this page carries only the catalogue listing (type and thickness).
Because one board covers both requirements. Where a humid room’s walls or ceilings must also be fire rated, the FMR board combines the fire-resistant core with the moisture-resistant formulation instead of layering two board types.
No. The fire rating belongs to the tested wall or ceiling assembly, not to the board alone. Final fire performance depends on the tested system and the project specification.
Yes. Jawdah supplies the FMR board from Saudi Arabia. Send your quantities and project details through Jawdah’s contact page to confirm board size, edge type and supply for the 12.5 mm thickness.
