What sets this area apart

Salmi is a border area on the Kuwait-Iraq border, with strategic stations, administrative centers and few villas on wide plots (2,000 to 3,000 square meters). The northern location and border proximity mean very high air humidity, especially in winter and spring seasons. All buildings in this zone need full moisture protection in bathrooms, kitchens and interior passages. We assess humidity before starting, install moisture-resistant gypsum board on isolated metal frames, seal every joint with high-performance compounds, then prime with moisture-resistant coat before final paint.

Salmi is in Jahra governorate, a border region on the Kuwait-Iraq border.

We apply two coats of moisture-resistant compound to board joints in Salmi before primer.

Questions about Moisture-resistant gypsum in Salmi

How does high humidity affect gypsum boards in border zones?

High humidity causes paint cracking and board swelling if not protected. We use moisture-resistant gypsum board with isolated metal frames, seal joints with strong compounds, and apply moisture-resistant primer which stops water absorption and swelling.

Do we need thicker boards in border areas?

Yes, we use 15 mm or thicker boards in high-humidity border areas instead of 12.5 mm, and the thicker board provides stronger and longer-lasting protection against continuous moisture.
