CertainTeed, North America’s leading brand of building products, will bring its high-performance wall-to-wall interior solutions to the NextGen Home webisode series with host Ty Pennington. The “First to the Future Home” weekly online series showcases what it takes to make a home energy efficient, weather resistant, healthy, smart and much more. 

“We are thrilled to be a product partner in the NextGen Home project with host Ty Pennington,” said Dan Kennard, vice president of marketing for CertainTeed Gypsum. “His enthusiasm and commitment to constructing homes that feature the latest in home building product technology will entertain, while educating viewers about the many benefits of performance wallboards. Getting the best value and environmental performance out of your home starts with making material selections tailored to the various needs and functions of your rooms. CertainTeed offers industry-leading options to address acoustics, indoor air quality, moisture and mold control, durability and aesthetics with Wall-to-Wall Solutions.”

CertainTeed sustainable solutions include the first-of-its-kind AirRenew Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) family of gypsum board, an award-winning product that actively helps to clean indoor air by capturing airborne chemicals, specifically formaldehyde and other aldehydes, and converting them into safe, inert compounds—ultimately trapping them inside the board. M2Tech technology also provides moisture and mold resistance. For hallways, AirRenew Extreme Impact board will be used, providing extra durability, impact and fire resistance.

Also featured will be SilentFX noise reducing gypsum board, ideal for the media room and other areas where acoustic control is important, and Diamondback tile backer in the kitchen and bathrooms, an extremely lightweight underlayment that is easy to install and moisture- and mold-resistant.

For more information about Wall-to-Wall Solutions, CertainTeed offers an app which can be downloaded via the iTunes store. It allows users to easily navigate through specific areas of a home to better understand how the right wallboard products can enhance the longevity and performance of a home.
