5/8 in x 4 ft x 8 ft Gold Bond SoundBreak XP Wall Board

Turn down the volume when you incorporate SoundBreak XP Wall® Board into your wall assemblies. You will dramatically reduce sound transmission between rooms or dwelling units with this superior sound-damping gypsum board.

SoundBreak XP has an acoustically enhanced, high-density gypsum core encased in heavy, abrasion and mold/mildew/moisture resistant, 100% recycled PURPLE® paper on both sides. Plus, SoundBreak XP provides the same great mold-inhibiting qualities as XP Gypsum Board.

Applications

• Use it for interior wall assemblies, where sound transmission between rooms or dwelling units is a concern.
• 5/8 in. (15.9 mm) SoundBreak XP Wall Board may be used where Type X Gypsum Board is specified in fire-rated assemblies.

Advantages

Reduces Sound Transmission

• Has a layer of viscoelastic damping polymer sandwiched between two pieces of high-density, mold-resistant gypsum board.
• Provides high-rated Sound Class Transmission (STC) values per an independent third-party acoustical laboratory using ASTM E90 test procedures.

Works for Interior Projects

• Use in a single layer or as a component of multi-layer wall assemblies.
• Thinner than traditionally built high-STC wall partitions, increasing usable floor space.
• Available in 1/2" and 5/8" (5/8" features a fire-resistant Type X core and is UL Classified).
