Wood Framing 1 x 4 wood furring may be used for screw application where support member spacing is 24 o.c. max. Furring of 2
nom. thickness should be used for nail application of board or where framing spacing is from 24 to 48 o.c. max.
Steel Framing Installation of grillage should be the same as for single-layer application—(see USG Publication SA923 for
application information).
Ventilation Where the area above the ceiling board opens to an attic space above habitable rooms, the space should be
vented to the outside in accordance with local building codes. Where the ceiling board is applied directly to rafters
or to roof-ceiling joists (as in flat roof construction) that extend beyond habitable rooms, vents are required at each
end of each rafter or joist space. Vents should be screened and be a minimum of 2 wide x full length between
rafters (or joists). Vents should be attached through board to min. 1 x 2 backing strips installed prior to board
application. Vent openings should be framed and located within 6 of outer edge of eave.
Weather Protection At the perimeter and vertical penetrations, the exposed core of panels must be covered with SHEETROCK
®
No. 401/402
Metal Trim or securely fastened moldings. In areas subject to freezing temperatures and other severe weather
conditions, shingled roofs should be installed in accordance with good roofing practices. Fascia boards should extend at
least 1/4 below the ceiling board or adjacent trim moldings, whichever is lower, to provide a drip edge.
Intersections Where ceiling board expanse exceeds 4 ft., a space of at least 1/4 should be provided between edge of ceiling
board and adjacent walls, beams, columns, and fascia. This space may be screened or covered with molding, but
should not be caulked.
Control Joints SHEETROCK Brand Exterior Gypsum Ceiling Board, like other building materials, is subject to structural movement,
expansion, and contraction due to changes in temperature and humidity.
