Overview
Overview
It is one of the two listed thicknesses of Jawdah’s FMR board; the other is 12.5 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
16 mm. The same FMR board is also listed in 12.5 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).
The thickness is chosen with the system design according to partition height, the number of board layers and the required rating. The rating itself depends on the tested system and the project specification, so take the thickness from that tested assembly.
An MR board is formulated to take up less water than a regular board. The FMR board adds a fire-resistant core to that formulation, for humid rooms whose walls or ceilings must also be fire rated.
That the board sits in a tested wall or ceiling assembly matching the project specification, that board, profiles and accessories stay within that one system, and that sheet size, edge type and test standards match Jawdah’s data sheet.
