Chris Whitmire joined Wall & Ceilings "If Walls Could Talk" podcast to discuss National Gypsum's centennial celebration, the EVOLVE family of products and the Fire & Sound Assembly Selector.

Chris Whitmire, director of product marketing at National Gypsum Company, recently joined Jill Bloom, group publisher of Walls & Ceilings, on a recent episode of the Walls & Ceilings podcast "If Walls Could Talk".  Recorded live at AWCI BUILD25, the interview covers:

National Gypsum’s Centennial Celebration: As National Gypsum associates reflect on 100 years of history, the values that have guided the company – innovation, quality and partnership – remain central. The commitment to providing high-performance products and exceptional customer service continues, with a focus on supporting the communities where they live and work.

EVOLVE Family of Products: Engineered to conserve water, reduce energy use and lower carbon emissions. EVOLVE is also significantly lighter than traditional 5/8” Fire-Shield® Gypsum Board, making it an ideal choice for architects, contractors and distributors. Elevate your projects today with superior performance and environmental responsibility!

Fire and Sound Assembly Selector: An interactive tool designed to streamline planning and estimating for construction projects. The platform allows users to quickly identify fire-and-sound rated assemblies, saving valuable time and enhancing project efficiency.
