What sets this area apart

Hassawi is a residential area on naturally damp ground due to shallow groundwater and slow drainage of seasonal water, meaning lower walls and basements in most villas suffer from continuous rising damp. Standard gypsum board cracks and falls quickly in these conditions, so we select boards with metal or polyurethane cores rather than plain gypsum. We install them above a horizontal damp-proof layer and leave adequate ventilation gaps to dry rising dampness before applying compounds and paint.

Hassawi is in Farwaniya governorate, a residential area on wet ground due to high groundwater and slow seasonal drainage.

We raise the bottom boards at least thirty centimetres above the concrete beam to avoid rising damp.

Questions about Moisture-resistant gypsum in Hassawi

What is rising damp and how does gypsum board address it?

Rising damp is groundwater that climbs through walls from the foundation and beam. We cut off this climb by raising boards and leaving an air gap so vapour dries naturally without penetrating the finished surface.

Does Hassawi need a different type of gypsum board than other parts of Kuwait?

Yes, Hassawi requires reinforced-core boards such as metal or polymer because continuous rising damp weakens plain gypsum cores quickly. Standard board types do not last long here.
