Recent Developments
U.S. Gypsum Company and USG Interiors continue to push the innovation envelope. Following years of development, U.S. Gypsum has expanded its FIBEROCK Brand panels family to include a variety of wall, sheathing, and underlayment products. The company has also recently introduced a line of high-performance gypsum underlayments under the LEVELROCK® Brand name and developed a liquefied form of gypsum for use where powdered formulations are impractical.
During 2003, U.S. Gypsum Company developed two revolutionary moisture- and mold-resistant interior panels. Featuring a proprietary technology, SHEETROCK Brand HUMITEK™ Gypsum Panels were the industry’s first gypsum panel that could be installed and finished in a traditional manner without skim coating or other extra labor. In addition, the company launched FIBEROCK Brand AQUA-TOUGH™ Interior Panels, an abuse-resistant panel that provides water resistance through its core.
USG Interiors continues to generate accolades — and awards — for its revolutionary ceiling designs. Over the past few years, curved ceiling systems have become more prevalent in a wide variety of commercial buildings. USG Interiors is leading the way with products such as the CURVATURA™
3-D System, GEOMETRIX™ Metal Ceiling Panels, and the TOPO™ 3-Dimensional System. |
