It provides multiple practical benefits when specified as a key component in a project’s exterior envelope.
Weather Protection: Gypsum Sheathing is manufactured with an enhanced moisture-resistant core and glass mat facers to provide a structure extended protection against water and air infiltration from the external environment.
Mold Resistance: Gypsum Sheathing’s naturally mold-resistant glass mat facers and anti-microbial core treatment help prevent costly and potentially damaging mold growth and decay.
Fire Resistance: Especially important in multi-family design solutions, Its noncombustible gypsum core and glass mat facers not only provide tested resistance to burning, but they also produce extremely low flame spread and smoke-generated values as well.
Exterior Systems Compatibility: Gypsum Sheathing is a compatible underlayment for a wide range of different exterior finish materials including wood, brick, stone, metal and vinyl, as well as popular EIFS and stucco systems.
Construction Efficiency: Versatile, practical and easy to apply, exterior Gypsum Sheathing can be installed quickly and without specialized tools or techniques. Its versatility for application helps streamline procurement, lower material costs and tighten the construction schedule for exterior walls.
Noise Attenuation: Gypsum Sheathing can be a component material in a number of sound control assemblies developed to dissipate the energy of sound vibrations within a multi-family structure.
