Interior abuse resistant drywall is specially designed to provide abuse resistance in wall applications. For interior wall or ceiling applications where improved impact and/or indentation resistance is required. CertainTeed Abuse Resistant products are composed of a dense gypsum core, reinforced by glass fiber, bound in 100% recycled paper. This combination affords greater resistance to abuse and sound transmission in high traffic areas than does regular gypsum board. Joint finishing is accomplished by using normal drywall finishing techniques according to GA-214 Levels of Gypsum Board Finish. Once primed, walls may be painted, wallpapered or textured for the desired look. Engineered for use in areas requiring abuse resistance, such as corridors, schools, hospitals, and public buildings. Thickness: 1/2" (12.7mm) Width: 4' (1220mm) Lengths: 8' (2438mm) to 12' (3658mm) Edges: Tapered, paper bound – factory finished End: Square – factory cut Core: Dense gypsum core (non-combustible) with high strength glass fiber reinforcement. Approximate Weight: 1/2" (12.7mm) – 2.1 lb/ft2 (10 kg/m2) Applicable Standards: ASTM C1396 ASTM C1629 CertainTeed Regular Gypsum Board accepts most types of paints, textures and wall covering materials. The surface shall be primed and sealed with a full-bodied latex primer before applying a final decorative material. This will equalize the suction between the joint compounds and the paper surface. For best painting results, all surfaces, including joint compound, should be clean, dust-free and not glossy.
