GBOARD FMR
GBOARD FMR
OVERVIEW
Gboard® FMR is a fire and moisture resistant gypsum board with fiberglass and silicon oil in the core. Gboard® FMR has the combined properties of Gboard® FR and Gboard® MR. It has a green paper front face and a pink back face. It has a wide range of applications where increased fire resistance and moisture repellency are required. Hence, Gboard® FMR is highly performant in interiors exposed to both elements. All materials are certified based on ASTM and EN standards and tested in approved laboratories.

RECOMMENDATION
Cutting and scoring are completed from the front face of the board.
Vertical screw spacing for the first layer of gypsum is 25 cm, 50 cm for the second, and 75 cm for the third.
It is recommended to use Gcoat All Purpose Joint Compound to treat joints or for skim coating.
STORAGE & HANDLING
Avoid contact with water.
Store in a dry/ventilated area above ground level (not in direct contact with the ground).
Do not expose the board to extremely high temperatures (50°C) for prolonged periods of time.
