Product Description : Lightweight panel for walls and ceilings

LITECORE is an interior sag-resistant gypsum panel with a proprietary noncombustible, dimensionally stable gypsum core formulated to be lighter than regular wallboard. The product is intended for use in non-structural, non-fire-resistance rated wall and ceiling applications where framing is spaced not more than 24 inches on center.  This dual-purpose panel can be used on both walls and ceiling eliminating the need to source separate products.  Each panel is encased in 100% recycled paper on the face and back.
