SHEETROCK - REGULAR 5/8" FIRE CODE

Building a fire-rated wall or ceiling, this 5/8" fire-code sheetrock is a Type X gypsum wallboard with a glass-fiber-reinforced core that resists fire longer than standard drywall, used where building code calls for a fire-rated assembly -- garages, stairwells, party walls, and between units. The reinforced core holds together under fire to slow the spread of flame and heat for the rated time, meeting the fire-resistance requirements of code assemblies, while it hangs, tapes, and finishes like standard drywall. At 5/8" Type X it is the standard fire-rated board. The 4' x 8' sheet covers a wall fast. It is the drywall for fire-rated walls and ceilings.
