PABCORE^® Shaftliner

PABCORE® SHAFTLINER type X panels are manufactured with a proprietary fire resistant type X core which has been reinforced with glass fibers and other additives to increase its fire-resistance. This core is encased in 100% recycled water-resistant face and back paper, and features a double beveled edge for ease of installation.

PABCORE® SHAFTLINER type X is distinguishable by the light green coloration of the water-resistant paper facing.

PABCORE® MOLD CURB™ PLUS SHAFTLINER type X panels are manufactured with the performance criteria described above, however, in addition, the core and paper facings have been chemically treated for enhanced protection to resist water, mold, and mildew. This product is distinguishable by the light blue coloration of the paper.

PABCORE® SHAFTLINER type X, and PABCORE® MOLD CURB™ PLUS SHAFTLINER type X panels are designed for lining elevator, ventilation, and utility shafts, as well as constructing lightweight sound attenuation fire-resistant cavity shaft walls, and area separation fire walls in multifamily dwellings such as townhouses, condominiums, and apartments.

These panels are key components in PABCO® Shaftwall Systems utilizing C-H, C-T Studs or H-Studs. PABCO® Shaftwall Systems are easy to erect, achieving fire-resistance ratings of one and two hours. Both solid and cavity-type area separation walls provide Sound Transmission Class (STC) ratings that exceed model building code requirements with designs that achieve STC ratings in excess of 60.
These area separation fire wall assemblies are light weight, weighing no more than 10 lbs/ft2 when constructed. As a result, the need for costly footings or foundation modifications are often eliminated. Due to the relatively light weight panels, they can be installed up to four (4) stories in height.
