ClarkDietrich, the largest manufacturer of cold-formed steel framing products, interior and exterior finishing products and accessories in North America, announced today that the company has completed its acquisition of Structa Wire Corp, a manufacturer of high-performance welded wire products for the lath and plaster industry.

ClarkDietrich has launched a new interactive educational lunch-and-learn series called “Conversations With ClarkDietrich.” The series was kicked off with an event on October 15 at Dallas-based MAREK Design Studio and was focused on head-of-wall framing solutions.

Cold-formed steel is one of the most widely used framing materials because of its ability to provide strength and stability in a number of conditions.

Adding to its lineup of clips and connectors, ClarkDietrich now offers a multi-purpose, commercial-grade coil strapping product for wall framing and floor joist applications.

Screwguns and drywall sanders and noise-reducing gypsum panels—oh my! W&C's round-up of some of the industry's latest drywall products and accessories. 

ClarkDietrich is adding a new solution to help contractors and builders address moisture management and drainage in exterior wall assemblies with the introduction of E-Screen, a polypropylene entangled mesh rain screen drainage mat.

ClarkDietrich has expanded its family of head-of-wall products with the addition of UltraBEAD, a smoke, fire and sound-rated bead that gives architects and specifiers an efficient, high-performance solution for fire-stopping and acoustical control applications.

AD hosted its 2021 Gypsum Supply Division Virtual Spring Meeting, offering members and suppliers a multi-day agenda filled with informative industry speakers and collaborative sessions.
