Gypsum Underlayment Repair Protocol Solutions

Maintaining floor/ceiling assembly fire rating when repairing gypsum underlayment.

Maintaining floor/ceiling assembly fire rating when repairing gypsum underlayment.

Maintaining floor/ceiling assembly fire rating when repairing gypsum underlayment.

When repairing damaged and/or low compressive strength gypsum underlayment, you must maintain the fire rating for the floor/ceiling assembly. After removing the original gypsum underlayment, the replacement product must be listed by name or by UL Type Designation in the UL assembly that describes the floor/ceiling being repaired.

Some gypsum-based repair products claim to be UL Classified and may even have a UL logo on their bag. However, that does not mean the product is listed by name in the UL fire rated assembly being repaired.

USG Durock™ Brand Tuf-Skim™ Floor Patch and USG Durock™ Quik-Top™ and Multi-Use Self-Leveling Underlayments are listed by UL Type Designation in 135 UL fire rated assemblies including the most common assemblies L521, L528, L569, L570 and L589. Multifamily floor/ceiling fire ratings can be found in the L500 and M500 series of the UL Fire Resistance Directory. Only USG Durock™ gypsum repair products are listed in an L500 or M500 assembly with insulation in the cavity. (Insulation is required to meet the building code for STC and IIC sound transmission.)

For more information on gypsum underlayment repair and code compliant fire rated UL Design assemblies, see the UL Online Certifications Directory, view the literature below or contact USG.
