AquaBloc gypsum wallboard was designed to provide a moisture resistant base for the adhesive application of ceramic or plastic tile and plastic-faced wall panels in limited wet areas, e.g., bathrooms, powder rooms, kitchens, laundry, and utility rooms. This panel may be extended beyond the area to be tiled, and finished with traditional joint treatment finishes. AquaBloc gypsum wallboard is designed for direct attachment by screws and or nails to wood framing, screws to metal framing and can be used in fire rated assemblies.
