Gypsum Association Announces release of its Newest Publication
The Gypsum Association is pleased to announce the release of its newest publication, “Abuse- and Impact-Resistant Gypsum Board.” This four-page brochure explains in plain language how to select one of two specialty gypsum product types designed for high-traffic or high-use areas. It also explains the benefits of using these gypsum products instead of other building products.
The brochure begins by describing the various conditions that might benefit from the use of one of these products and how their use can contribute to a sustainable built environment. It then explains whether it is better to use a product primarily designed for abuse-resistance or impact-resistance in a particular high-use area. That discussion is followed by brief descriptions of the different types of gypsum products available for creating abuse- and impact-resistant surfaces.
