When specifying gypsum board for commercial projects, it is important to differentiate between abuse-resistant and impact-resistant types to ensure the contractor selects the correct board. Otherwise, the building owner may experience unexpected damage, resulting in callbacks and repairs.
Listeners will learn:
- The difference between standard, abuse-resistant and impact-resistant gypsum boards
- How Gold Bond® XP® Hi-Abuse® Gypsum Board, Gold Bond® XP® Hi-Impact®, Gold Bond® eXP® Interior Extreme® AR Gypsum Panels and Gold Bond® eXP® Interior Extreme® IR Gypsum Panels are constructed
- How the four tests that make up ASTM C1629 Standard Classification for Abuse-Resistant Nondecorated Interior Gypsum Panel Products and Fiber-Reinforced Cement Panels are conducted and how Gold Bond products perform in each test
- Situations where glass mat abuse- and impact-resistant products are recommended over paper-faced products
- When to recommend abuse-resistant vs. impact-resistant gypsum board based on the size, use and expected occupancy of a space
- The importance of listing abuse- and impact-resistant products separately in the specification to avoid confusion over which product is needed
