Gold Bond BRAND Durasan Prefinished Gypsum Board ® Description The Durasan line consists of Gold Bond® BRAND Durasan® vinyl covered panels. All Durasan panels can be applied directly to studs or as a finish layer over gypsum board. Durasan panels are especially suited for most demountable partition systems. Because Durasan is prefinished, it is generally less expensive to install than building a wall and then applying a wall covering material. Durasan is the registered trademark for National Gypsum Company prefinished gypsum wall panels. This quality paneling combines the time-proven...

ABRASION RESISTANCE LIMITATIONS Storage and Handling Durasan panels are extremely abrasion resistant, and are tested by a Taber Abraser with CS-17 Calibrate wheels and a 500 gram loading. Durasan has withstood over 10,000 revolutions without breaking through the vinyl film. During this testing, some loss of texture and overprint resulted. High Heat Durasan panels are a prefinished product, and as such, special care should be taken during their storage and handling. PAINTING Durasan is a factory-finish decorative product which does not require painting. However, if desired, Durasan can be...

General Installation PANEL LAYOUT INSTALLING DURASAN PANELS Before application, proper arrangement of panels should be studied. For a most pleasing result, all joints of panels should be centered on architectural features of the wall, such as fireplaces, windows, doors, etc. If the wall contains no such openings, arrange for the two end panels to be of equal width. Narrow strips are difficult to install and should be avoided. Any special use of decorative trims and moulding should be considered at this time. Several methods of installation may be used with Durasan products in order to meet...

BOWING THE BOARD (Required in Methods #2 and #3) Durasan panels must be warped or bowed to give pressure at the center of the board during adhesive and cementing applications. If the boards were not bowed, temporary bracing would be required. Illustrated are two methods of bowing. Be sure to remove bundling tape from the boards. Cut to proper ceiling height, and stack as shown with all prefinished surfaces facing up or down depending on which method of bowing is used. Use padded blocks cut from 2 x 4’s to protect prefinished surfaces. Stack in such a manner that, when applying, each panel...

Apply clips to the leading edge of the panel 16" o.c., starting 16" down from the top. Clips on the trailing edge of the next panel are also spaced 16" o.c. but are about 2" from those on the first panel’s leading edge. If greater rigidity is desired, clip spacing may be reduced. All panels require clips along both edges except when panels abut doors, windows, intersections or corners, in which case one edge of the panel will be directly fastened with nails or screws. Position the first panel, aligning the uncut edge at the center of the framing member, plumb, and attach it top and bottom...
