Acoustical Sealant: As specified in Section FINISHES A. Levels of Gypsum Board Finish as Defined by GA 214. Levels are only examples and do not constitute a schedule of finish. See Drawings for levels of finish. 1. Level 0: No taping, finishing, or accessories required. 2. Level 1: All joints and interior angles shall have tape set in joint compound. Surface shall be free of excess joint compound. Tool marks and ridges are acceptable. 3. Level 2: All joints and interior angles shall have tape embedded in joint compound and wiped with a joint knife leaving a thin coating of joint compound over all joints and interior angles. Fastener heads and accessories shall be covered with a coat of joint compound. Surface shall be free of excess joint compound. Tool marks and ridges are acceptable. Joint compound applied over the body of the tape at the time of tape embedment shall be considered a separate coat of joint compound and shall satisfy the conditions of this level. 4. Level 3: All joints and interior angles shall have tape embedded in joint compound and one additional coat of joint compound applied over all joints and interior angles. Fastener heads and accessories shall be covered with two separate coats of joint compound. All joint compound shall be smooth and free of tool marks and ridges.

Apply firestopping at top of wall and at penetrations through fire resistant assembly. C. Sound Retardant Installations: Follow manufacturer s directions and specifications for conditions of installation. Install where indicated in conformance with current Project acoustic report. Install from floor surface to bottom side of next floor surface. 1. Wrap with insulation and Lowry Pads and seal electrical or other outlets in sound isolating partitions. 2. Install sealant to completely fill void between gypsum board edges and adjacent surface. D. Wet Locations 1. At Walls and Ceilings: Conform to ASTM C840, System Classification X. 2. Treat cut edges and holes in water resistant gypsum board with sealant. E. Fastenings: Attach gypsum board to framing with screws, lengths and sizes as recommended by manufacturer and in accordance with CBC. F. Accessories 1. Install corner beads at vertical and horizontal external corners; tape inside corners. 2. Install casing beads whenever edge of gypsum board would otherwise be exposed or semi-exposed, or where abutting dissimilar materials. 3. After accessories are installed, correct surface damage and defects. 4. Install trims and expansion joints where required. 5. Resilient Channel Attachment: Screw attach resilient channel through foot on 1 side of channel only to wood joists. Screw attach gypsum board through channel face only. At resilient channel assemblies, screw attached gypsum board shall not be in contact with joists, studs, or any rigid fastening Gypsum Board

5 G. Allowable Tolerances 1. Offset Between Planes of Board Faces: 1/16-inch. 2. Plane, Level, Warp and Bow: 1/8-inch in 8 feet. 3. Shim panels as necessary to comply with tolerances FINISHING OF GYPSUM BOARD SOUTH BERKELEY SENIOR CENTER A. Apply joint treatment at gypsum board joints; flanges of corner bead, edge trim and penetrations, fastener heads and surface defects in accordance with ASTM C840 or GA 216. Number of coats of treatment shall be as specified above. B. Finish Painting: As specified in Section C. Previously Wallpapered Surfaces 1. Install ¼ gyp bd over existing wall paper.
