StructGuard TS is the structural gypsum sheathing that also simplifies application, maximizes moisture, mold and fire resistance and provides exceptional cost efficiency and stability. All in addition to delivering code-recognized wall bracing strength.
Structural gypsum sheathing is referenced in the IRC, IBC, UBC, SBC and NBC as a code-recognized structural wall bracing material when manufactured according to the product standard ASTM 1396.
StructGuard TS meets this standard. Every sheet of material is printed with the acknowledgment:
CONFORMS to IRC R702.3. MEETS ASTM C1396. Structural Wall Bracing Acceptance IRC R602.10.3. Please refer to your local building code.
If necessary, we can provide a list of specific code references to structural gypsum board or answer any questions your local code officials may have.
