Six inches wider than a standard 48" gypsum board panel, Stretch54 reduces the number of joints in nine-foot walls for a smoother surface, critical for today's thinner wallpapers and new no-texture finishes. That’s because two standard-width boards come up one foot short when hanging panels on nine-foot walls. A one-foot filler strip must be used to complete the wall, which also adds an additional joint to tape and float.
