Installation Using GridMarX with MaX 12 and MaX 16 Fastener Patterns

Learn how to install gypsum board using the powerful combination of GridMarX® installation guide marks and the MaX 12® and MaX 16® fastener patterns. No new products are required, just utilize the X’s pre-printed on the board.

GridMarX
Standard on all 4’ wide gypsum board products manufactured by Gold Bond Building Products, GridMarX are installation guide marks printed on the face surface to help installers quickly identify fastener lines for studs and joist framing. In addition, cuts can be made without having to draw lines.

MaX 12
Recognized as the Association of the Wall and Ceiling Industry’s (AWCI) 2021 Excellence in Construction Innovation Award winner, MaX 12 is the industry’s first 12” on center optimized fastener pattern for single layer, 1-hour UL fire-rated assemblies on metal framing spaced 24” on center.

MaX 16
Building on the success of MaX 12, we created MaX 16. The industry’s only 16” on center optimized fastener pattern for single layer, 1-hour UL fire-rated assemblies on metal framing spaced 16” on center.

The combination of the MaX 12 and MaX 16 fastener patterns with GridMarX simplifies the installation process by reducing the number of fasteners needed, increasing faster accuracy and achieving smoother inspections.
