GlasRoc Shaftliner

To meet the growing demand for paperless gypsum products, CertainTeed Gypsum is expanding its product line to include GlasRoc Shaftliner Type X. The shaftliner brings added protection during the construction process to buildings in high-humidity and wet-weather areas and offers exceptional fire resistance in completed commercial and multi-family buildings. GlasRoc Shaftliner was specifically designed and engineered for use in elevator shafts, stairwells, and area separation firewalls. The shaftliner consists of a 1-inch thick noncombustible, moisture resistant core with reinforcing glass mats and a protective coating on the exterior surface.

"With the introduction of GlasRoc Shaftliner, CertainTeed Gypsum is better prepared to serve our customers who prefer paperless gypsum products, " says Ed Maloney, product manager for CertainTeed Gypsum. "Our GlasRoc product line, which includes exterior sheathing, shaftliner and tilebacker plays a critical role in protecting exposed buildings from moisture throughout construction and for the life of the building."

GlasRoc Shaftliner is two feet wide and is available in eight-, 10-, and 12-foot lengths. The product meets ASTM G 21 standards for mold resistance and is backed by a 12-month limited warranty against exposure. It is UL Classified and ULC Listed for fire resistance and surface burning characteristics.
