Non combustible and lightweight GFRG Column Covers are typically installed with screws and adhesive. After attachment, the joints between the sections are taped and floated together to create a monolithic, seamless appearance. The column covers are then ready for paint or other finish options. Installation details are provided with the shop drawings.
- GRG Column covers should be stored in an enclosed area and protected from weather
- Fasteners are standard self tapping or self drilling drywall screws and drywall type adhesive such as PL 100
- Joints in GRG column covers are finished similar to gypsum board in according to ASTM C-475 guidelines. Fiberglass tape is recommended.
- Column covers are typically made to length, but if cutting is required, a dry diamond saw blade or a fine toothed carbide tipped metal blade is recommended. As with all gypsum, fiberglass or construction materials avoid breathing the dust (See installation instructions)
- When dry and dust free, prime and paint or finish the GRG column covers as desired
- As with any gypsum product, GRG column covers that are to receive a semi gloss or gloss finishes will require additional preparation of the surface.
