KNOW THE BENEFITS OF THE BOARDS
These wall boards are mold and mildewresistant, moistureresistant and fireresistant paneling. In addition, they’re UL GREENGUARD certified for better indoor air quality.

BEFORE YOU BEGIN INSTALLATION
Step 1: Inspect the wall framing for defects that may need to be fixed first.
Step 2: Measure the framing spacing to determine the right board length. Make sure the boards are at maximum practical length. Measure from the floor to mark the location of all receptacles.
Step 3: Prepare the XP® Gypsum Board. Mark your measurements on the board and make your cut, snapping the board away from the cut.

HOW TO INSTALL
Step 4: Starting in the corner, hang the board at a right angle to the wall framing.
Step 5: Fasten the board to the framing. Use bugle head drywall screws, spaced 1216 inches apart on the framing. Use the GridMarX® guide marks as a reference for screw placement.
Step 6: Cut out the receptacles you marked earlier.
Step 7: Measure, mark and cut your remaining boards. Continue installation, installing the remaining boards at right angles while making sure edges are touching.

HOW TO FINISH THE JOB
Step 8: Place joint tape along board joints and on the inside corners. Apply three coats of joint compound on the tape and screw heads allowing each to dry per the manufacturer recommendation. Sand all rough edges once dry.
