Description
National Gypsum’s patented GridMarX
®
installation guide marks are
printed on the paper surface and come standard on all gypsum board
products. These guide marks align with standard building dimensions
and help to quickly identify fastener lines for studs and joist framing.
Accurate cuts can be made without without having to draw lines.
GridMarX increases productivity and profitability every step of the way.
When fastening for code, the guidemarks help to quickly identify fastener
patterns, virtually eliminating the need to measure between fasteners.
Plus, cleaner fastener patterns provide a visual benefit for inspectors, which
makes inspections much faster and smoother. Contractors save time
and money every step of the way.
With GridMarX, guide marks run along the board lengthwise every 4 inches
in both tapers and at 16 in., 24 in. and 32 in. o.c. The GridMarX are
visible even in the low light conditions of the typical jobsite, yet cover easily
with no bleed-through using standard paint products.
Save time and labor costs with Gold Bond
brand GridMarX Gypsum Board.
