Fix Gypsum Floors Fast: USG’s 3-Step Repair Guide

Описание: When gypsum underlayment is installed incorrectly, it can become chalky, weak, and unsafe—making new flooring nearly impossible to install. This video walks through USG’s proven 3-step repair protocol to resurface compromised gypsum floors without losing fire resistance.

In this step-by-step guide, see how USG helps contractors fix gypsum underlayment quickly and confidently:
Step 1: Inspect – Identify soft, cracked, or chalky gypsum using a coin test and confirm thickness requirements.
Step 2: Prepare – Remove loose material with a stiff bristle broom and HEPA vacuum, then apply USG Durock® Brand Fusion Primer.
Step 3: Resurface – Choose the right repair material:
Tuff Skim™ Patch for shallow areas
Quick Top® for large pours
Quick Top® FR for fiber-reinforced durability

With the right USG solutions, contractors can deliver smooth, strong surfaces that are ready for floor covering in as little as 15 hours—all while preserving UL-classified fire ratings.
