Gold Bond Gypsum Board

Description

Gold Bond® BRAND Gypsum Board panels consist of a fire-resistant gypsum core encased in heavy natural-finish, 100% recycled paper on the face and back sides. The face paper is folded around the long edges to reinforce and protect the core, and the ends are square-cut and finished smooth. For speed of installation, GridMarX® guide marks are printed on the paper surface.

Long edges of the panels are tapered or square. Tapered edges allow joints to be reinforced with ProForm® BRAND Joint Tape and concealed with ProForm® BRAND Ready Mix or ProForm® BRAND Quick Set Setting Compounds.

Basic Uses

• 1/4" - Lightweight, low-cost utility gypsum panel for interior use as a base layer for improving sound control in double-layer steel and/or wood stud partitions. Also for use over old wall and ceiling surfaces. Also applicable for forming curved surfaces with short radii.
• 3/8" - Lightweight for interior use in the double-wall systems over wood framing, and for repair and remodeling.
• 1/2" - For single-layer interior use in residential construction and non-rated commercial construction.

Advantages

• Lightweight, cost-efficient material that readily accepts a wide range of decorative finishes.
• Gypsum Board is easily cut for quick installation, permitting painting or other decoration and the installation of metal or wood trim almost immediately.
• The gypsum core will not support combustion or transmit temperatures greatly in excess of 212°F (100°C) until completely calcined, a slow process.
• Expansion and contraction under normal atmospheric changes is negligible.
