Questions about this product
What thickness is the Jawdah Regular 16mm board?
16 mm. The same RG board is also listed in 12.5 mm.
What is an RG gypsum board used for?
The regular board is the default choice for interior partitions, suspended ceilings and wall linings in dry rooms: offices, schools, residential units, hotels and commercial fit-outs across Saudi Arabia.
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 RG boards?
Both are the same RG 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 other components are needed to install the RG 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.
When should a different Jawdah board replace the RG board?
When the room is humid or the wall must be rated. The RG board is meant for dry interiors; in those cases Jawdah’s MR, FR and FMR boards take its place, chosen with the project specification.
