What thickness of gypsum board is best for ceilings in Lahore?

For standard false ceilings in Lahore, 9.5mm (3/8 inch) gypsum board is the most commonly used thickness. For walls and partitions, 12.5mm is recommended. In high-humidity areas or where additional rigidity is needed, 12.5mm ceiling board may be specified. Finishes.pk recommends the appropriate thickness based on your specific project requirements.

What is the difference between standard and moisture-resistant gypsum board?

Standard gypsum board (white ivory coloured) is for normal dry interiors. Moisture-resistant gypsum board (green coloured — often called 'green board') has a water-resistant core and paper facing, making it suitable for bathrooms, kitchens and other areas with periodic moisture. For full waterproofing, PVC panels are still a better choice than even moisture-resistant gypsum.
