Gold Bond® Ultra-Shield FS® Gypsum Board is 3/4“ thick and 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.

Use it for 2- and 3-hour wall partitions, and 2-hour cavity shaftwall assemblies to reduce material and installation labor.

The Ultra-Shield core allows one layer of 3/4“ Ultra-Shield FS to replace two layers of 5/8“ Type X, or two layers of 3/4“ Ultra-Shield FS to replace three layers of 5/8“ Type X, in specific UL assemblies.

GridMarX® are printed on the paper surface to help installers instantly identify stud locations and make accurate cuts without having to pencil in or snap chalk lines.

For a 3/4” product that also provides mold and moisture resistance use Gold Bond® XP ® Ultra-Shield FS® Gypsum Board.
