Lightweight Strength You Can Trust.

UL Classified (CAN/ULC-S114) and compliant with ASTM C1396, ULIX™ delivers trusted fire protection to meet building codes while ensuring safety in residential and commercial projects. ULIX™ reduced weight also helps lower waste disposal fees, making it a smarter choice for contractors. To this day, ULIX™ remains unmatched as the lightest Type X panel in Canada.

Versatility Meets Fire Resistance.

Approved in more UL assemblies than any other CGC Type X or C panels, they adapt seamlessly across walls, ceilings, and column assemblies.Whether you're tackling commercial or residential projects, ULIX™ combines fire-rated performance with lightweight handling. This gives contractors, architects, and specifiers a single panel that meets multiple project needs while saving time and helping crews work more efficiently.

No Compromise on Performance.

Performance is at the core of Sheetrock® ULIX™ panels. While lightweight, they still provide comparable sound control, strength, and fire resistance to traditional Type X panels. By specifying ULIX™, every installation meets rigorous standards — approved for 1-hour steel stud assemblies without insulation — giving contractors, builders, and specifiers the assurance of code compliance and consistent results across every application.
