Primary Uses

  • Ideal for commercial and residential applications where moisture may be present to prevent mold growth
  • Perfect for commercial pre-rock installation when the structure is not completely closed in and for residential areas such as bathrooms, basements, laundry rooms and kitchens
  • Use on interiors of exterior walls where moisture is likely to occur
  • Can be used behind tile when allowed by applicable building codes

PABCO GLASS® Interior, with its mold and water-resistant gypsum core encased in a glass fiber mat, offers greater moisture resistance and improved dimensional stability compared to standard gypsum board. The product scores 10 for mold resistance, the highest rating when tested in accordance to ASTM D3273 Standard Test Method for Resistance to Growth of Mold on the Surface of Interior Coatings in an Environmental Chamber. The product is specially formulated to withstand extended exposure under normal weather conditions* up to one year. The interior glass-faced panel is noncombustible, dimensionally stable and resists warping, sagging and buckling. It is available in 5/8" Type X, fire-resistant and 1/2" Regular for use in non-fire rated construction.
