Available in 1/2 in. (12.7 mm) and 5/8 in. (15.9 mm) thicknesses, Sheetrock® Brand Firecode® C Panels feature a specially formulated mineral core that provides superior fire resistance for ceiling applications. These panels feature a noncombustible gypsum core encased in 100% recycled face and back papers that form a high strength composite design. The face paper is folded around the long edges to reinforce and protect the core, and the ends are cut square and even. The long edges of the panels are tapered, allowing joints to be reinforced and concealed with Sheetrock® Brand joint treatment systems. The panels are UL Classified for fire resistance and can be used in any UL design in which Type C panels are listed. On the face along the long edge of each panel, the UL Type Designation is printed for easy identification by building inspectors.
