FAQs

Should the ToughRock® Fireguard C gypsum board be installed vertically or horizontally?

While gypsum boards are stronger in one direction, for walls, they may be installed either vertically or horizontally on both wood and steel studs. If the boards are to be used in a fire rated assembly, then use the board orientation that is stated in your specific rated assembly.
