GBOARD FR
GBOARD FR
OVERVIEW
Gboard® FR is a fire-resistant gypsum board reinforced with fiberglass. The fiberglass acts as a retardant and protection to the board, improving the performance of the system when exposed to fire. Gboard® FR has a pink color paper face.
Gboard® FR is used in indoor areas such as internal walls and ceiling applications where improved fire protection is needed. All materials are certified based on ASTM and EN standards and tested in approved laboratories.
- Fire resistant
- Low flame speard
- Low smoke development
- Fire resistant
- Low flame spread
- Low smoke development
Advantages
Fire resistant for up to 3 hours.
Used indoors as fire protection limiting its spread and growth.
Surface Finishing
Multiple finishing options: Painted (Water or oil bas paint)
Wallpaper, vinyl, wood…
Joint filling With Gcoat™ All Purpose Joint Compound
Edge Types
Squared edge
Tapered edge
Beveled edge

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 moisture.
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.
