A Fire-Resistant Gypsum Board (FR) is a specially formulated drywall panel designed to offer enhanced protection against fire. These boards are manufactured with additives that improve their resistance to heat, flames, and structural damage in high-risk areas. Unlike standard gypsum boards, FR boards can retain their integrity longer when exposed to fire, providing extra time for evacuation and containment.
They are widely used in residential, commercial, and industrial buildings where fire rating compliance is essential.
