Frequently Asked Questions

Gypsum board is defined as a panel product made of calcium sulfate dihydrate encased in thick paper liners. It is the primary material for drywall construction, replacing traditional plaster and lath methods. In the Saudi market, choosing the right gypsum board is not just about aesthetics; it is about surviving the local climate. With temperatures regularly exceeding 45°C and significant humidity in coastal cities like Jeddah, the wrong material can lead to cracking, mold, or structural failure

Standard gypsum board is suitable for dry interior areas like living rooms and bedrooms. Moisture-resistant board, often green-faced, has a wax-treated core and mold-resistant paper, making it ideal for bathrooms, kitchens, and other high-humidity areas. It prevents mold growth and paper degradation in wet environments.
Prices vary based on the type (standard, moisture-resistant, or fire-rated), thickness, and brand. Generally, fire-rated boards are more expensive than standard ones. For the most accurate and up-to-date pricing, contact Matkel directly or visit our website for current offers. We provide competitive rates for bulk orders.
The most common sheet size is 120cm x 240cm or 120cm x 270cm. For thickness, 9.5mm is typically used for ceilings, while 12.5mm is standard for walls. Thicker options like 15mm are available for specialized fire-rated or soundproofing applications.
As mentioned, the key difference lies in the core treatment and paper facing. Moisture-resistant boards are designed to withstand humidity without degrading, whereas standard boards will absorb moisture and potentially fail. Always use moisture-resistant board in wet areas.
Installation costs depend on the project scope, board type, and labor rates. In Riyadh, costs can vary, but it is best to get quotes from local contractors. Ensure the quote includes materials, labor, and finishing. Matkel can recommend trusted installers if needed.
Popular brands include those that comply with SASO standards and offer consistent quality. Matkel stocks a range of reputable brands that are trusted by contractors across KSA. Choosing a well-known brand ensures better durability and easier availability of replacement materials.
Matkel has a strong presence in Jeddah, offering fast delivery and a wide range of gypsum boards. We serve both residential and commercial clients in the region. Contact us for local availability and pricing.
No, moisture-resistant gypsum board is not suitable for outdoor use. It is designed for high-humidity indoor environments. For outdoor applications, consider fiber cement boards or other weather-resistant materials. Gypsum boards, even moisture-resistant ones, will degrade when exposed to direct rain and sunlight.
