| Easi-Lite lightweight gypsum board  CertainTeed introduced a new drywall solution, Easi-Lite gypsum board. Up to 30 percent lighter than standard gypsum boards, Easi-Lite can be used for both interior ceilings and walls in residential and commercial applications. The lightweight design makes the wallboard easier to transport, stock on the jobsite and install, reducing muscle strain and fatigue. In addition, Easi-Lite gypsum board is easy to score and snap for improved installation. Designed with sag resistance, it is ideal for 1⁄2-inch ceiling applications, allowing for one board type to be used on the interior walls and ceilings.Easi-Lite features a uniform high-strength, sag-resistant gypsum core with a 100 percent recycled face and back paper and enables building professionals to achieve the same high performance standards of a traditional gypsum board. It is GREENGUARD Children and SchoolsSM certified and designated as a low volatile organic compound (VOC) emitting product. "Building professionals are constantly looking for innovative ways to streamline their processes to maximize profitability without sacrificing quality," said John Donaldson, president of CertainTeed Gypsum. "The introduction of Easi-Lite complements CertainTeed's comprehensive product line and strengthens our position as a single source for products that meet a wide range of performance attributes and specifications." write your comments about the article :: © 2011 Construction News :: home page |
