• For use in all interior wall and ceiling applications.
• Provides superior mold and moisture resistance.
• Type X core is fire resistant and an approved component in UL fire-rated designs.
• Offers 12-month extended exposure warranty for typical weather conditions.

Gold Bond® eXP® Interior Extreme® Fire-Shield® Gypsum Panels consist of a moisture-, mold-resistant gypsum core encased in a coated, specially designed fiberglass mat on the face, back and sides. It is available in a Type X core to provide additional fire-resistance rating when used in tested systems. The glass mat is folded around the long edges to reinforce and protect the core.

Use it wherever gypsum board is specified in interior applications for the entire project, wood or metal framing, for increased resistance to incidental moisture.

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