Sheetrock® Brand UltraLight PRO Panels are our lightest, most durable 12.7 mm (1/2 in.) panels to date, featuring proprietary core and paper technologies providing a high strength-to-weight ratio composite design. These gypsum panels feature a noncombustible core encased in 100% recycled face and back papers. The face paper is folded around the long edges to reinforce and protect the core, while the ends are cut square and even. The long edges are tapered, allowing joints to be reinforced and concealed with CGC Sheetrock® or Synko® Brand Interior Finishing Products.
