GreenGlass fiberglass-faced gypsum board is our premium interior panel. It was designed to provide the highest level of mold and moisture protection combined with an exceptionally high percentage of recycled content. Ideal for the construction of a range of wall, ceiling and decorative accent structures in both residential and commercial applications, it sets a whole new standard of performance and environmental value.
Before installing GreenGlass gypsum interior board, read cautions regarding handling and required hygiene.
GreenGlass must be installed in accordance with ASTM C840 and/or Gypsum Association publication GA 216. Installation in non fire-rated applications is very similar to standard paper-faced products.
For fire-rated installations, refer to the Gypsum Association Fire Resistance Design Manual (3 megs) and/or UL Fire Resistance Directory.
Framing: The minimum width of wood framing members shall be 1 1⁄2". The minimum width of metal framing members shall be 1 1⁄4". Framing members shall not vary more than 1⁄8" from the plane of the faces of adjacent framing.
Fasteners: Drive fasteners flush with the surface of the panel. Do not countersink fasteners. All fasteners must penetrate into the framing member. Locate fasteners a minimum of 3⁄8" from the edges and ends of the panel. Use either nails or screws to attach GreenGlass interior board to framing members.
Finishing: For GreenGlass finishing recommendations, refer to Gypsum Association publication GA 214 (levels of finish).
