Gypsum Association Releases Revised Application Standard
The Gypsum Association announces the publication of its revised application standard, GA-216-2016, Application and Finishing of Gypsum Panel Products. The new 2016 specification provides appropriate installation methods for most gypsum panels--from the more common regular and type X wallboards to specialized performance boards such as glass mat water-resistant gypsum panels and abuse-resistant and impact-resistant gypsum panels.
GA-216 is referenced in the International Building Code as an appropriate standard for the application and installation of gypsum boards and panels. Copies of the specification may be purchased through the Association's bookstore at: www.gypsum.org.
