Georgia-Pacific Gypsum has added a number of online features designed with architects and other design professionals, subcontractors and distributors in mind.

Its online architectural toolbox is a collection of utilities and information assembled to support Division 7 and Division 9 architects as they specify and select the company’s products. The toolbox ensures quick access for all design professionals to many interactive tools, including the Georgia-Pacific Design Studio, a LEED calculator, online binders and more.

The architectural toolbox provides easy access to the Georgia-Pacific Design Studio, which can help increase an architect’s expertise in the world of building information modeling. The Design Studio is an easy-to-use resource for creating wall assemblies, which can then be exported to AutoDesk Revit Architecture and other two- and three-dimensional modeling software.

Another tool available to architects is the Georgia-Pacific Gypsum LEED Calculator, which provides immediate access to concise information about a product's potential LEED credit contribution. This includes specific data regarding recycled content and regional materials.

Other toolbox tools now available are:
  • Online Binders: Access an architectural binder and commercial roofing binder to provide a collection of specifications, case studies and working documents.

  • Residential Wall Systems Comparison: Compare 11 to 14 recommended pre-configured wall systems in five climate zones to select Good, Better and Best systems. These designations are based on fundamental performance characteristics using different claddings, insulations and interior membranes.

  • Other Design Professional Tools: Link from the Georgia-Pacific Gypsum home page to BSD Speclink Software, ARCOM, Reed Construction Data SMARTBim and Sweets Network.

  • Social Media: Connect to the company’s Flickr and YouTube pages for access to helpful images and videos including useful application information, ASTM test results, job site footage, educational information and more.
In addition to the centralized architectural toolbox, the refreshed GPGypsum.com is also an easy-to-navigate source of product information for all of Georgia-Pacific Gypsum's customers. Product pages make it easy to find product specifications, submittals, technical and sustainability information and warranties in one location.
