• For the interior face of exterior walls and ceilings where vapor retarder is required.
• All-in-one board reduces installation steps and offers labor savings.
• Versatile product that is appropriate for use on all exterior wall and ceiling construction.

Gold Bond® Foil Back Gypsum Board consists of a fire-resistant gypsum core encased in heavy, natural-finish, 100% recycled paper on the face side and a strong liner paper on the back side. A Type III aluminum foil vapor retarder, laminated to the back surface, is designed to prevent condensation from occurring within the wall cavity.

Use it on the interior face of exterior walls and ceilings in new construction and remodeling with furred masonry, wood or steel framing. It is effective for single-layer applications and as a base layer in double-layer applications that require a vapor retarder of 0.1 perm or less.

GridMarX® are printed on the paper surface to help installers instantly identify stud locations and make accurate cuts without having to pencil in or snap chalk lines.

APPLICATIONS:

• Use 1/2" for the interior face of exterior walls and ceilings where vapor retarder is required. Also use it in non-fire-rated construction where framing members are spaced up to 24” o.c.
• Use 5/8” where enhanced fire safety and sound transmission performance are desired.
