Questions about this product
What thickness is the Jawdah Moisture Resistant 16mm board?
16 mm. The same MR board is also listed in 12.5 mm.
What is an MR gypsum board used for?
Bathrooms, kitchens, laundries, service rooms and other humid interiors in residential, hospitality, healthcare and commercial buildings, as a partition, ceiling or lining board, usually as the substrate behind tiles or a washable finish.
Where are the board size, edge type and standards stated?
In the technical data sheet supplied by Jawdah on request; this page carries only the catalogue listing (type and thickness).
How do I choose between the 16 mm and 12.5 mm MR boards?
Both are the same MR board; only the thickness differs. The thickness is chosen with the system design according to partition height, the number of board layers and the required rating, so confirm it with the system details and Jawdah’s data sheet rather than choosing it on its own.
What finish is usually applied over the MR board?
In bathrooms, kitchens, laundries and service rooms the board usually serves as the substrate behind tiles or a washable finish. Confirm the finish build-up with the system details in the data sheet.
What other components are needed to install the MR board?
The board is screw-fixed to metal profiles to form partitions, ceilings and wall linings. Keep the board, profiles and accessories within one tested system, and confirm the fixing details against the data sheet.
