Versatile Wall System

Kingspan Insulated Metal Panels

Among the advantages of using the KarrierPanel wall system is the increased speed of build that quickly achieves a weather tight enclosure. It also offers unlimited possibilities for rainscreen cladding installed as a screening outboard of the enclosure panel system. It is suitable for all building types in any climate, combining the thermal benefits of lightweight insulated metal panels with the pleasing aesthetics of multiple façade styles. Once installed, this system provides excellent building envelope performance with a high R-value, and airtightness with an air, water, and vapor barrier. This allows energy cost savings of as much as 30 percent over traditional multi-part built-up barrier wall systems.

Drywall Fire Protection

Georgia-Pacific Gypsum 

Georgia-Pacific’s new ½-inch ToughRock Fireguard 45 Gypsum Board solves three critical pain points for building professionals desiring increased fire-ratings in their construction: as a ½-inch fire-rated wallboard, it can replace all standard and lightweight ½-inch walls. There’s no need to change the wall assembly; it lowers the transmission of sounds between rooms more effectively than competing lightweight ½-inch wallboard.
