Gold Bond® XP® Hi-Impact® Gypsum Board offers the same mold-, moisture- and abuse-resistant features as XP® Hi-Abuse Gypsum Board, and in addition, it has fiberglass mesh embedded into the core providing even more impact/penetration resistance.

It also has a specially formulated core to provide fire-resistance ratings. And you can use XP Hi-Impact Gypsum Board as a tile backerboard in dry areas or areas with limited water exposure, such as toilet/sink areas and areas above tile in tubs and showers.

This impact-resistant gypsum board is designed for use in areas prone to cavity penetration, such as gymnasiums, correctional facilities, schools and hospitals.

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.

APPLICATIONS:

• Use it for interior wall and ceiling assemblies in areas where surface abrasion, indentation, mold, mildew and moisture resistance are major concerns.
• Use it where Type X Gypsum Board is specified in certain fire-rated wall assemblies.
• Use as a tile backer board in dry areas or areas with limited water exposure, such as toilet and sink areas and wall and ceiling areas above tile in tubs and showers.
