Gold Bond® BRAND Fire-Shield® 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. Use it for interior, fire-rated wall and ceiling applications. A specially
formulated Type C core is also available where required.
Lightweight, cost-efficient material that readily accepts a wide range of decorative finishes
Cuts easily for quick installation, permitting painting or other decoration and the installation of metal or wood trim almost immediately
Fire-resistant material with a gypsum core that will not support combustion or transmit temperatures greatly in excess of 212 ̊F (100 ̊C) until completely calcined, a slow process
Dimensionally stable under changes in temperature and relative humidity and resists warping, rippling, buckling and sagging
GridMarX provides quick identification and uniform nail/screw patterns. Use GridMarX to make accurate cuts without drawing lines.
