Standard

The standard gypsum ceiling board is the primary material used for constructing flat, smooth, and monolithic interior ceilings in residential and commercial buildings. It provides a highly durable, paintable surface that is cost-effective, easy to install, and meets essential building code requirements for fire resistance.

Key Features

• Core Material: Non-combustible gypsum core with a paper face and backing.
• Finish Surface: Uniform, white paper face suitable for a variety of finishes, including paint, texture, or veneer plaster.
• Edge Profile: Typically Tapered Edge along the long sides to create a recess for joint tape and compound, ensuring a seamless, smooth finish.
• Fire Resistance: The gypsum core provides inherent fire-resistant properties, often meeting ASTM standards for surface burning characteristics.
• Moisture Management: Standard board is for interior dry locations. (Moisture-resistant or specialized ceiling boards are used in high-humidity areas like bathrooms).
