Walls
Ceilings
Walls and ceiling should be clad simultaneously beginning at one end of the space and progressing toward the other
Neither walls nor the ceiling are recommended to be clad first
Reduce sound transmission
Reduce the heat loss
Increase the fire rating of the partition
Reduce the need for trim
As the backing for ceramic tile
As the face ply in laminated two-ply construction
Adjacent to a dead air space
For laminating directly to masonry or concrete
As fascia boards
On soffits
On rake trim
Gypsum board cannot be used in the exterior
Shower room walls
Shower room ceilings
Sauna walls
As a base for wall tile in tub-shower areas
Can be made entirely of gypsum board except for metal runners at the floor and ceiling
Required wood or metal framing for support
Cannot be assembled with a masonry substrate
Require threaded fasteners

Even numbered coats should be damp when next coat is applied
Odd numbered coats should be damp when the next coast is applied
All coast should be damp when the next coat is applied
All coats should be dry when the next coat is applied
Faulty taping of the joints
Shrinkage of the wood framing
Use of excessively short nails
Panels installed across the studs in the wrong or orientation
Is required for a snug fit of the nail
Is inconsequential as long as a break is covered with the correct number of layers of joint compound.
Contributes to the eventual loosening of the panel
Lowers the fire rating of the wall if it occurs at over have the nails in the wall

The resinous tile-setting materials have greater bonding strength and chemical resistance
The resinous tile-setting materials have lower bonding strength and chemical resistance
The bonding strength and chemical resistance of the two are about equal
Some resinous materials have higher and some have lower bonding strength and chemical resistance
Its edges should be sealed with an exterior primer or aluminum paint
Its back should be sealed with an exterior primer or aluminum paint
Its face should be sealed with an exterior primer or aluminum paint
All surfaces and edges should be sealed with an exterior primer or aluminum paint
Interior slabs
Exterior slabs
Structural (supported) slabs
Slabs-on-grade
They isolate the tile from stresses in the slab below
They provide smooth finishes over relatively rough surfaces
They secure the tile to the concrete so the two materials act structurally as one
They utilize the latest sophisticated tile setting materials and techniques
Tamping of the tile into the adhesive is not permitted
The surface to which the adhesive is applied cannot be plywood
Grouping should be delayed for at least 24 hours to permit solvent evaporation
Latex grouts are not permitted
