Firecheck Plasterbase
Firecheck Plasterbase is a base layer gypsum board for interior veneer,
plaster-finished wall and ceiling applications that require fire resistance.
The board has a non-combustible gypsum core, enhanced with glass fibers for protection
against fire and the passage of heat. It is covered with blue paper facings on the front,
back, and long edges.
The special-bonding blue veneer facing paper creates an optimum plaster "working" rate and increases plaster adhesion. The board will accommodate up to two veneer plaster finish coats. |
 |
Firecheck Plasterbase is designed for use in applications that require direct mechanical attachment to wood or metal framing. For best plaster-working and adhesion properties, the veneer plaster should be applied as soon as possible after board installation.
To ensure optimum Type X fire-resistance performance from this board, follow recommended installation procedures.
Applications:
Firecheck Plasterbase Type X is designed as an enhanced fire-resistant base layer for veneer plaster systems in both
residential and commercial construction applications. It is used on:
Interior walls
Interior ceilings.

For best plaster working and adhesion properties, the veneer plaster should be applied as soon as possible after
board installation.
While Plasterbase has some inherent fire resistance characteristics, this product is not intended to provide levels of fire
resistance required by various building codes and standards and should not be used for such purposes. For fire resistance,
use Lafarge Firecheck® Plasterbase Type X.
Applications:

Sagcheck®
Sagcheck® is a strengthened, sag-resistant gypsum board for interior ceiling
applications. It is designed to resist sagging under high-humidity conditions and
wet-application texturing.
The board contains a special dense, noncombustible gypsum core enhanced with glass
fibers. It is covered with paper facings on the front (ivory), back, and long edges.
The heavier-weight ivory surface will accommodate a variety of paints and textures after
proper surface preparation, which includes sealing with a high-quality latex primer or
sealer.
|
 |
Sagcheck can be used in building applications that require direct mechanical attachment to wood or metal wall and ceiling
frames, or attachment to existing surfaces using fasteners or adhesives. If using the product for renovation work, the installer
should be certain to penetrate old wall or ceiling coverings to prevent the development of a vapor barrier. Likewise, a vapor
barrier should not be applied behind Sagcheck.
Per ASTM C 840 and building codes, 1/2-inch Sagcheck (ceiling board meeting ASTM C 1396) is permitted to be installed
with supports up to 24 inches o.c. and the board perpendicular to the framing on ceilings to receive a water-based texture.
Applications:
Sagcheck is designed to provide resistance against sagging ceilings in both residential and commercial construction
applications, including:
Ceilings spanning 18- to 24-inch o.c. supports;
High-humidity conditions; and
Ceilings to receive wet application texturing.
