What are the main differences between the tapered and square edge gypsum boards?
Tapered edge boards allow for easier joint finishing with compound and tape, creating a smooth joint line, whereas square edge boards are generally used where joints will be covered by other elements or with different finishing methods.
How do GYPSOMAN boards handle moisture?
These boards provide reasonable moisture resistance suitable for general indoor environments but are not recommended for areas with continuous water exposure. For wet or high humidity areas, moisture-resistant boards should be used.
Are GYPSOMAN RB boards suitable for fire-rated walls?
Yes, these boards have inherent fire resistance properties and can be used in fire-rated partitions as part of a tested assembly per building codes.
Can the boards be used in both commercial and residential projects?
Absolutely. Their versatility makes them ideal for homes, offices, schools, hospitals, and other buildings.
What sizes are commonly stocked for immediate availability?
The Indian standard size of 1830mm x 1220mm is commonly stocked, while longer lengths (2400mm or 2440mm) may be available for special orders.
How environmentally friendly are GYPSOMAN boards?
They are produced with sustainable raw materials and low VOC emissions, supporting green building certifications and healthier indoor air.
How is installation done, and what accessories are needed?

Can GYPSOMAN boards be cut on-site?
Yes, they can be easily scored and snapped using a utility knife or specialized cutting tools, making customization on-site straightforward.
