Gold Bond® Ultra-Shield FS® 3/4" Gypsum Board
For single layer - steel stud and cavity shaftwall systems.
Single layer multi-hour assemblies

- Reduced labor and material costs by using fewer layers (up to 10%).
- Thicker core equals added abuse resistance.
- Cost-efficient material that readily accepts a wide range of decorative finishes.
Gold Bond® Ultra-Shield FS® 3/4" Gypsum Board consists of a fire-resistant gypsum core encased in heavy natural-finish, 100% recycled paper on the face and back sides. The face paper is folded around the long edges to reinforce and protect the core, and the ends are square-cut and finished smooth. Long edges of the panels are tapered.
For speed of installation, GridMarx® guide marks are printed on the paper surface.
Gold Bond® Ultra-Shield FS® 3/4" Gypsum Board features a Type X core to provide additional fire resistance ratings when used in laboratory tested systems.

- Scores and snaps easily, with no special handling requirements.
- Expansion and contracting under normal atmospheric changes are negligible.
