Storage and Handling

The 1/2” M-Bloc Ekcel® Type X gypsum panels must be stored off the ground with sufficient risers to assure support for the entire length of the wallboard to prevent sagging, and under protective cover in accordance with the Gypsum Association’s technical bulletin, Handling and Storage of Gypsum Panel Products (GA-801).

Gypsum board does not generate or support the growth of mold when it is properly transported, stored, handled, installed, and maintained. However, mold spores are present everywhere and when conditions are favorable; mold can grow on practically any surface.

Gypsum board should be delivered to the job site as near to the time it will be used as possible.
