🛠️ Installation & Best Practices for UAE
Follow these UAE-specific guidelines for optimal gypsum board installation:
1️⃣ Framing
Use galvanized steel studs/tracks sized per wall height & fire rating requirements. Ensure proper spacing for UAE conditions.
2️⃣ Board Fixing
Dry boards before installation. Screw @ 250mm centers (ceilings) / 300mm (walls) or per tested system specifications.
3️⃣ Joint Treatment
Tape tapered edges with joint compound. Install control joints per layout. Use proper jointing techniques for UAE humidity.
4️⃣ Fire Systems
Follow tested build-ups exactly: correct layers, screw patterns, mineral wool insulation, and fire-rated sealants.
5️⃣ Wet Areas
Use MR boards with waterproofing membrane behind tiles. Seal all penetrations. Essential for UAE coastal environments.
6️⃣ Finishing
Prime boards before painting. Apply low-VOC paints suitable for UAE humidity levels. Allow proper drying time.
7️⃣ Storage
Keep flat, off ground, shaded. Avoid moisture and direct sun exposure. Critical in UAE summer conditions.
8️⃣ Acclimatization
Allow boards to acclimatize to site conditions for 24-48 hours before installation. Important for UAE climate.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What thickness gypsum board should I use for partitions?
A: For standard residential partitions, 12.5mm is most common. For taller walls or commercial applications, 15mm provides better rigidity. Our team can recommend based on your specific wall height and load requirements.
Q: Are these boards suitable for UAE’s humid climate?
A: Yes, our Saudi gypsum boards are specifically formulated for Gulf region conditions. For areas with direct moisture exposure (bathrooms, kitchens), we recommend our water-resistant MR boards with proper waterproofing systems.
Q: How do I achieve 2-hour fire rating for a shaft wall?
A: 2-hour fire ratings typically require double layers of 15mm fire-resistant boards on each side of 100mm steel studs, with mineral wool cavity insulation and proper fire-rated sealants. We provide complete tested system specifications. Call +971 525104678 for specific build-up details.
Q: Can I use water-resistant boards behind bathroom tiles?
A: Yes, MR (moisture-resistant) boards are ideal tile substrates in wet areas, but you MUST also apply a proper waterproofing membrane behind tiles and seal all penetrations according to specifications. The MR board alone is not a waterproofing system.
Q: What’s the difference between TE and SE edge types?
A: TE (Tapered Edge) boards have a slight recess along the long edges for joint tape and compound to sit flush with the board surface – ideal for smooth finish walls and ceilings. SE (Square Edge) boards have straight edges, typically used where boards will be covered or for multi-layer assemblies.
Q: Do you provide technical submittals for consultants?
A: Yes! We provide complete technical data sheets, test certificates, fire rating documentation, and method statements for project submissions. Contact us with your project requirements and we’ll prepare the necessary documentation.
Q: What’s your minimum order quantity and delivery time?
A: No minimum order – we supply from single boards to full truck loads. Same-day delivery available in Dubai, Sharjah & Ajman for orders placed before noon. Free delivery on orders above AED 5000.
Q: Do you offer contractor pricing and credit terms?
A: Yes, we provide special wholesale rates for contractors, fit-out companies, and bulk orders. Credit terms available for registered companies with proper documentation. Call +971 525104678 to discuss your requirements.
