When constructing commercial buildings, stakeholders often focus on the steel frame, the glass facade or the foundation, but the walls inside are just as critical to a project’s success. Making the right choice about gypsum board — also known as drywall — can be the difference between a successful project and one plagued by delays, budget overruns and long-term issues.
Listen or watch Jessica Janosko, Southeast area sales manager, talk with host Chris Whitmire, director of product marketing, about when to invest in high-performance gypsum boards to cut risks in commercial projects.
Listeners will learn:
The different priorities architects, contractors and building owners have regarding budget, timing and aesthetics
The definition of value engineering and the specific risks, such as diminished resilience and increased maintenance costs, of downgrading specified boards
The critical technical differences between abuse-resistant boards (surface-level protection) and impact-resistant boards (penetration protection)
How to protect shaft enclosures, built early in the construction schedule, from rain and mold damage by using glass mat gypsum panels over paper-faced options
Strategies for “topping out” construction to simplify mechanical, electrical and plumbing crew scheduling
How investing upfront in acoustically enhanced boards can prevent costly and disruptive renovations later
