Gold Bond® BRAND SOUNDBREAK® XP® Wall Board consists
of two pieces of high-density, mold-, mildew- and moisture-
resistant gypsum board, with a specially designed PURPLE®
paper, laminated together with a sound-damping, viscoelastic

encased in heavy paper that is 100-percent recycled on both sides
DQGRHUVVXSHULRUDEUDVLRQPROGPLOGHZDQGPRLVWXUHUHVLVWDQFH
Use it for high-rated Sound Transmission Class (STC) rated wall and
ceiling assemblies, where sound transmission between rooms or
dwelling units is a concern.
For speed of installation, GridMarX® guide marks are printed on the
paper surface.
Basic Uses
APPLICATIONS
• Use it for interior wall assemblies, where sound transmission
between rooms or dwelling units is a concern.
• 5/8 in. (15.9 mm) SoundBreak XP Wall Board may be

assemblies.
ADVANTAGES
• Provides high-rated Sound Transmission Class (STC) values per
an independent third-party acoustical laboratory using ASTM
E90 test procedures.
• Achieves high STC values in a thinner wall assembly, increasing

easily and decorates in the same manner as standard
gypsum board.
• For speed of installation and lower installation costs, vertical
board joints do not require acoustical sealant.
• Resists the growth of mold per ASTM D3273 with a score
of 10, the best possible score.
• Resists the growth of mold per ASTM G21 with a score of 0,
the best possible score.
• Heavy abrasion-resistant paper and dense core provide greater
resistance to surface abuse and indentation when tested in
accordance with ASTM C1629.
• Installs like traditional gypsum board without requiring
additional clips or channels.
• Cuts by scoring deeply from both sides before snapping or by
using a hand or power saw.
• Fire-resistant material will not support combustion or transmit

completely calcined, a slow process.
• Dimensionally stable product with negligible expansion and
contraction under normal atmospheric conditions.
• Features the GridMarX® guidemarks on the board to allow for
faster and more accurate installation.

Installation Recommendations
GENERAL
• Install gypsum board in accordance with methods described
in ASTM C840 and GA-216.
• Examine and inspect framing materials to which gypsum board
is to be applied. Remedy all defects prior to installation of the
gypsum board.
• *ULG0DU;SURYLGHVTXLFNLGHQWL¿FDWLRQDQGXQLIRUPQDLOVFUHZ
patterns. Use GridMarX to make accurate cuts without drawing

points in 4 in. (102 mm) increments. Marks run along the edge
in both tapers and at 16 in. (406 mm), 24 in. (610 mm) and

members, then to walls. Use boards of maximum practical
length so that the minimum number of end joints occur.
Bring board edges into contact with each other but do not
force into place.
• Install batt or blanket ceiling insulation BEFORE the gypsum
board on ceilings when installing a vapor retarder behind
the gypsum board. Install the insulation IMMEDIATELY after

• Provide minimum 1/4 in. (6.4 mm) clearance between boards
and adjacent concrete or masonry to minimize wicking of
moisture.
• Locate gypsum board joints at openings so that no joint will
align within 12 in. (305 mm) of the edges of the opening

Limitations
• Avoid exposure to excessive or continuous moisture and
extreme temperatures. Do not expose gypsum board to

time.
• Properly ventilate or condition attic spaces to remove moisture
buildup above gypsum board ceilings. If required, install a
vapor retarder in exterior ceilings behind gypsum board.
• Avoid installing gypsum board directly over insulation blankets

• Isolate gypsum board from contact with building structure in
locations where structural movement may impose direct loads
on gypsum board assemblies.
• Provide control joints spaced not more than 30 ft. (9,144 mm)
where employing long continuous runs of walls, partitions or
ceilings without perimeter relief.
• Avoid gypsum board joints within 12 in. (305 mm) of the
corners of window or door frames unless installing control
joints at these locations.
• In single-ply installation, all ends and edges of gypsum board
should occur over framing members or other solid backing
except where treated joints occur at right angles to framing or
furring members.
• Apply 1/2 in. (12.7 mm) gypsum board ceilings to be decorated
with water-based spray texture perpendicular to the framing
spaced a maximum of 16 in. (406 mm) o.c.
• Space supporting framing for single-layer application of 1/2 in.
(12.7 mm) gypsum board a maximum of 24 in. (610 mm) o.c.
• Do not use boards as a nailing base as they are nonstructural.
• Avoid using in areas subject to constant and/or excessive
moisture and high humidity, such as gang showers, saunas,
steam rooms or swimming pool enclosures.
• Avoid using as a backer board directly behind tile in tub and
shower areas.
• Do not install in pre-rock conditions.
