Smarter, hard working solutions for all projects.

When you design a K-12 school or college building, the collective space functions like an ecosystem. There are diverse areas serving specific purposes yet working together as a cohesive whole. You have heavy traffic in hallways subject to more abuse or impact; private conversation areas requiring high STC walls; and cleanrooms designated for scientific experiments or commercial cooking. Think auditoriums, gymnasiums, counseling rooms, cafes, music rooms, libraries and more. In the higher education setting, add medical schools, research laboratories and residence halls. Along with educational facilities, most commercial buildings, including hospitals, office high-rises, corporate headquarters and industrial buildings have specific design requirements that necessitate the use of high-performance building products.

National Gypsum Company has the industry professionals and breadth of products to address all your specialized project needs – whatever and wherever they may be. We have everything you need to create impactful spaces for people to grow, learn, achieve, recover and work to their highest potential. We support every stage of your building’s lifecycle – from new construction to additions, renovations and re-roofing – ensuring you have the expertise and solutions you need.

Your go-to high-performance products.

• Areas that take more abuse or impact. Arm yourself with added protection in places like corridors, entryways, lobby areas and warehouses. Where surface abrasion and indentation often occur, mold- and moisture-resistant fiberglass-faced Gold Bond^® eXP^® Interior Extreme^®AR Gypsum Panel is your answer. For areas prone to cavity penetration, such as schools, gymnasiums and correctional facilities, specify fiberglass-faced Gold Bond^® eXP^® Interior Extreme^® IR Gypsum Panel – it’s your toughest opponent against serious indentation and impact. Our mold- and moisture-resistant paper-faced Gold Bond^® XP^® Hi-Abuse^®and Gold Bond XP^® Hi-Impact^® Gypsum Boards are also excellent options to help resist surface abrasions and cavity penetrations.
• Spaces that require serious quiet. When silence needs to be the standard, choose a board that properly controls sound. The SoundBreak^® XP^® family of products
  will help reduce sound transmission between spaces. Since noise-pollution is the second-largest environmental contributor to health problems, specifying enhanced acoustical assemblies of walls, floor-ceilings and roof-ceilings will make all the difference. Specify SoundBreak^®, the industry’s most well-rounded family of noise-reducing products.
• Breathe easy and stay healthier. Gold Bond, PermaBASE and ProForm products from National Gypsum Company, which have GREENGUARD Gold certifications, can enhance indoor air quality by meeting low chemical emission standards. These GREENGUARD Gold certified products are excellent choices for robust building environments and can help you achieve your project sustainability goals.
• Ceilings that work for kitchens, hospitals or cleanrooms. Do you have an area that requires a high level of air cleanliness and/or low airborne particulate levels? Durable Gold Bond^® Gridstone^® CleanRoom Ceiling Panels provide high light reflectance and are easily cleaned. Gridstone Ceiling Panels are fire- and sag-resistant, achieve UL GREENGUARD Gold certification for low chemical emissions, available in white or black, and are ideal for highly sensitive clean zones.
  
• Versatile exterior cladding and improved continuous insulation. Gold Bond^® eXP^® Fire-Shield^® Sheathing, with superior exposure capabilities for both wood- and metal-framed construction, provides fire resistance and serves as a dimensionally stable substrate for exterior cladding systems. PermaBASE CI^® Insulated Cement Board meets or exceeds continuous insulation code requirements and is an ideal substrate for exterior finishes. It saves time and labor compared to installing furring, insulation and cement board separately.
• Roofing for the long run. With four excellent options, strong and versatile DEXcell^® Roof Boards cover all your commercial roofing assembly needs – whether new construction or re-roofing projects. Choose from DEXcell^® Glass Mat Roof Board, DEXcell FA^® Glass Mat Roof Board, DEXcell FA VSH^® Glass Mat Roof Board and DEXcell^® Cement Roof Board. This entire line also helps reduce sound transmission through a broad range of roof assemblies.
