What certifications or standards should I look for when selecting gypsum board for a project?

When selecting gypsum board for your construction project, it is essential to ensure that the product meets key certifications and standards that guarantee its quality, safety, and performance. Look for products that comply with industry standards such as ASTM C1396/C1396M, which specifies the performance criteria for gypsum board, and ASTM C840, which focuses on the installation aspects for interior applications. Additionally, certifications related to fire resistance, such as those provided by Underwriters Laboratories (UL), are critical in ensuring that the material performs as expected in emergency situations. Environmental certifications, like GREENGUARD or other eco-labels, also indicate that the product meets strict criteria for low chemical emissions and sustainability. In our projects, which integrate Aluminum Ceiling and Aluminum Facade systems, we prioritize products that not only meet these certifications but also complement our high-performance metal solutions. By ensuring that your gypsum board is certified and adheres to these standards, you can be confident in its ability to provide a safe, durable, and aesthetically pleasing finish that works harmoniously with other building components. This attention to quality is crucial for achieving long-term performance and customer satisfaction in any construction project.
