Product description
The GSW Series Shaftwall Board is a specialized gypsum panel engineered specifically for the construction of non-load-bearing shaft walls. These walls are critical in modern building design, separating service areas such as electrical risers, plumbing chases, and HVAC ducts from living spaces. The board is composed of high-quality gypsum core reinforced with high-strength paper facing, ensuring durability and consistency across large surface areas.
Designed to meet rigorous safety standards, the GSW Series provides enhanced fire resistance, helping to contain flames and smoke within shaft areas for a critical period. This feature is essential for maintaining safe evacuation routes and protecting structural integrity during emergencies. The board's smooth surface finish allows for easy application of joint compounds and paints, resulting in a seamless aesthetic that blends perfectly with interior finishes.
