GBOARD IMPACT
GBOARD IMPACT
OVERVIEW
Gboard® Impact is an impact resistant gypsum board reinforced with fiberglass, an ideal solution for ceilings and walls in crowded areas with high strength requirements. Gboard® Impact is manufactured to ensure the same surface indentation and abrasion as the rest of the gypsum plasterboards, while taking into consideration an advanced core reinforcement providing impact, fire, sound, and moisture resistance. It is an ideal solution for walls in high traffic areas as it is resistant to repeated impacts. All materials are certified based on ASTM standards and tested in approved laboratories.
- High core density
- Resistant to hard and soft body impact
- High resistance to crack
- High core density

RECOMMENDATION
Cutting and scoring are completed from the front face of the board.
Vertical screw spacing for the first layer of gypsum is 25 cm, 50 cm for the second, and 75 cm for the third.
STORAGE & HANDLING
Avoid contact with water or temperatures higher than 50°C for prolonged periods of time.
Store in a dry/ventilated area above ground level (not in direct contact with the ground).
Avoid cracking or damaging the boards during installation.
