OVERVIEW:
EnviroGuard GYP is a composite
panel for interior use made by
laminating a fiberglass reinforced
plastic (FRP) or high density polyethylene
(HDPE) skin to a substrate of
gypsum board.
EnviroGuard GYP is attached to
the substrate (or studs) using
construction adhesive in the field of
the panel and mechanical fasteners
around the perimeter. The system is
completed with one piece or two
piece plastic (PVC) trim moldings.
BASIC USES & APPLICATIONS:
EnviroGuard panels are designed
to provide an easily maintained
surface for interior wall and ceiling
applications.
Durable fiberglass reinforced plastic
or high density polyethlene skins
make these panels ideal for use in
kitchens, restrooms, locker rooms,
food processing plants, animal
shelters, temporary educational
facilities as well as any other
application where a washable, low
maintenance surface is desired.
GENERAL LIMITATIONS:
EnviroGuard panels are intended
for interior use as wall or ceiling
panels only. Panels may not be
installed as a structural element of a
wall assembly.
Other limitations to the installation of
EnviroGuard GYP panels depends
on the specific application.

FEATURES & BENEFITS:
As a complete interior cladding system, EnviroGuard GYP offers a
number of benefits to the building owner, architect, and installer including:
• Non-Progressive
Several different options for face
applied and one piece moldings
allow for easy removal and
replacement of panels should
damage occur.
• Easy Installation
Simple sheets/trim concept easy to
understand. Standard carpentry
knowledge and tooling is all that is
required for installation.
• Low Maintenance
Little or no maintenance is
required and most grease, dirt,
oil, and other foreign material can
be easily cleaned from the surface
using mild detergents.
• Durable
An impact resistant gypsum board
core and a tough plastic face
makes these panels ideal for
areas which are exposed to heavy
abuse and traffic.
• Economical
Combining the substrate and the
finish into one panel system saves
time, as well as labor and material
costs for installing contractors.
Along with initial budget savings,
easily cleaned surface also saves
in long term maintenance costs
for facility managers.

OVERVIEW
CONCEALED FASTENERS:
EnviroGuard GYP offers a variety
of attachment systems depending on
the appearance desired (including
one piece and two piece moldings).
Typically, panels are fastened to the
substrate (or studs) using mechanical
fasteners around the perimeter of
the panel. Construction adhesive is
used at the intermediates and in the
field of the panel. The joints are
finished with PVC moldings that are
either snapped or tapped in place,
adhered to the face of the panel, or
fastened to the panel using small
brads (depending on the type of
molding selected).
