Gypsum Sheathing Panel
PABCO® Gypsum Sheathing Board is a treated core moisture-resistant product and is designed for use as an exterior substrate product that provides a stable base for most types of finish cladding. PABCO® Gypsum Sheathing Board has a water-resistant core and water-repellent paper (brown face paper and gray back) both treated chemically to provide a water-repellent surface.
PABCO® Gypsum Sheathing Board is manufactured in 4 ft. wide and 8 ft. long panels. The sheathing panels are manufactured with square edges. These square edges are not designed for finishing with joint compound and tape. PABCO® Gypsum Sheathing Board is manufactured in 1/2" treated regular core and 5/8" treated type X core.
PABCO® Gypsum Sheathing Board panels are flexible, may be attached with nails, screws or staples. The gypsum core provides natural resistance to the spread of fire.
1/2" PABCO® Gypsum Sheathing Board treated regular core gypsum sheathing board is recommended for use in residential or commercial buildings and may be required where fire rated systems are specified. 1/2" PABCO® Gypsum Sheathing Board treated regular core is commonly used under 3/4" drop siding to provide a one-hour fire-resistive wall assembly.
1/2" PABCO® Gypsum Sheathing Board treated regular core meets the requirements specified by ASTM in the Standard Specification for Gypsum Board (C 1396) for water-resistance and surface water absorption. |
