AIA - Resilient by Design
AIA highlights how high-performance gypsum minimizes risks.
An article posted by AIA examines how thoughtful selection of high‑performance gypsum boards can help architects reduce risk, improve durability, and enhance occupant comfort across a range of building types.
It explains the practical differences between abuse‑ and impact‑resistant boards, highlights the role of acoustically enhanced gypsum in managing both airborne and impact sound, and addresses the importance of moisture‑ and mold‑resistant products for critical assemblies exposed during construction.
The piece also explores how clear documentation and tools like National Gypsum’s Fire & Sound Assembly Selector can simplify specification, reduce misinterpretation in the field, and support code‑compliant, resilient design decisions from the outset.
Read the full article to explore how high‑performance gypsum selection can support resilient, high‑performing buildings from design through construction.
