Overview
Overview
It is one of the two listed thicknesses of Jawdah’s FR board; the other is 12.5 mm. Both belong to the fire-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 fire-resistant gypsum board has a reinforced gypsum core that holds together longer when exposed to fire; the fire rating belongs to the tested wall or ceiling assembly, not to the board alone.
