The wet season for paper-faced gypsum

To obtain a copy of a specific publication, users should contact the publication's publisher directly.

Abstract
It has become increasingly well understood by designers and contractors (and attorneys) that the traditional paper facers of standard gypsum board panels (whether interior wallboard or exterior sheathing) can provide an ideal substrate for mold proliferation if they are allowed to become wet. It is for this reason that some manufacturers have curtailed production of paper-faced gypsum sheathing.
