Frequently Asked Questions About Mineral Boards
What are mineral boards primarily used for in construction? +
Mineral boards are versatile building panels used extensively for fire-rated wall partitions, ceiling linings, shaft enclosures, and stable substrates for interior architectural applications.
Are mineral boards fire-resistant and waterproof? +
Yes. Mineral boards possess outstanding non-combustible fire-rated properties, making them critical safety components in commercial and residential buildings. They are also highly moisture-resistant, meaning they will not warp, swell, or degrade when exposed to high humidity or damp indoor conditions.
Do mineral boards contain asbestos or harmful chemicals? +
No. The mineral boards supplied by GNG Tiles Malaysia are 100% asbestos-free, formaldehyde-free, and manufactured using eco-friendly inorganic materials that ensure safe indoor air quality.
Can mineral boards be painted or decorated? +
Yes. Their smooth, stable surface is ideal for direct finishing. You can easily apply wall paint, wallpaper, or decorative interior textures to achieve your desired aesthetic.
How do mineral boards compare to standard drywall or gypsum boards? +
Unlike standard gypsum boards which soften, mold, or lose structural integrity when exposed to moisture or direct flame, mineral boards offer superior impact strength, absolute water resistance, and higher fire ratings, making them much more durable for demanding environments.
