Description Sheetrock

UltraLight Panels are re-engineered, lightweight gypsum wallboard panels with a patented,
composite design. The noncombustible core is encased in 100% recycled face and back papers.
The natural finish face paper is folded around the long edges to reinforce and protect the core and the
ends are cut square and even. The long edges of panels are tapered, allowing joints to be reinforced
and concealed with Sheetrock joint treatment systems.
Intended For Non-fire-rated single-layer wall and ceiling applications
New residential construction
Repair and remodel construction
Ceilings where improved sag performance is desired
Limitations 1. Avoid exposure to sustained temperatures exceeding 125 °F (52 °C).
2. Avoid exposure to excessive, repetitive or continuous moisture before, during and after installation.
Eliminate sources of moisture immediately.
3. Non-load bearing.
4. Maximum frame spacing is 24" o.c.
5. Must be stored off of the ground and under cover. Sufficient risers must be used to support the entire
length of the gypsum board to prevent sagging.
