LITE innovations = newest members of family
National Gypsum continues tradition of delivering broad product solutions

The LITE Family is the newest member to an already extensive family of products. With Gold Bond® BRAND Gypsum Board, ProForm® BRAND Interior Finishing Products and PermaBase® BRAND Cement Board, National Gypsum continues its proud tradition of offering a broad family of innovative products for both the residential and commercial construction markets.

LITE products are easier to work with, which results in reduced fatigue, potential increased productivity and faster completion times. National Gypsum's LITE gypsum board products feature GridMarX® guide marks, an exclusive feature that allows the installer to quickly identify fastener lines and make more accurate cuts without measuring, which also reduces waste. The combination of lightweight gypsum board with GridMarX creates efficiency for the installer.

Potential productivity improvements aren't the only benefit of National Gypsum's LITE family of products. The nation's leading green building standards reference GREENGUARD Certified products for schools, hospitals, offices, homes and other public facilities. The entire National Gypsum LITE family of products has achieved GREENGUARD Indoor Air Quality CertifiedSM status.
