THE NEED FOR HIGH-PERFORMANCE BUILDING HAS ONLY INTENSIFIED, SO HOW CAN COMMERCIAL BUILDERS ENSURE THEY ARE DESIGNING BUILDINGS THAT MEET ALL THE REQUIREMENTS?
From suburban grocery stores to downtown office high-rises, commercial buildings have the important job of sheltering their occupants as they work, learn, shop and more. Over the years, the requirements for designing buildings that do this effectively have evolved. Designing to meet code requirements and achieve the best building performance is essential.
With this in mind, gypsum has proven itself as a versatile and reliable material that commercial builders can count on. Manufacturers have leveraged gypsum’s inherent high-performance characteristics to develop solution-based materials that address the most important commercial wall and roof design aspects, including fire resistance, durability and weatherability. By specifying gypsum, builders can simultaneously bolster the performance of their wall and roof assemblies and simplify their processes to create high-performing buildings.
