Continental Firecheck Soffitboard is a fire- and weather-resistant gypsum board for sheltered exterior ceiling and soffit areas such as carports, covered walkways, parking areas, open porches, and the soffit side of eaves. The board is designed to withstand indirect exposure to moisture and resist sagging.
Firecheck Soffitboard contains a noncombustible gypsum core, enhanced for strength (sag resistance) and fire resistance. The core is covered with paper facings on the front, back, and long edges.
Firecheck Soffitboard can be used in building applications that require direct attachment to wood or metal ceiling frames. It will accommodate a variety of paints and textures after proper surface preparation, which includes two coats of an exterior primer. It can also be used as a component of fire-rated assemblies.
