    DensArmor® Plus Interior Drywall from G-P Gypsum can help compress building schedules and minimize potential mold problems. And, the 2006 Walls Lunch & Learn Seminars from G-P Gypsum can keep you up to date on those and other building technology developments.

    No windows? No doors? No problem!
    Accelerate projects and reduce mold risk. Moisture- resistant DensArmor Plus helps both ways. Hanging conventional paper-faced gypsum board before installing doors and windows can lead to wallboard damage and mold growth. Not with paperless DensArmor Plus interior drywall. It carries a three- month exposure warranty and gets the highest possible rating when tested, as manufactured, in ASTM D 3273 mold-resistance tests.

    Fight mold in residential living spaces Paperless DensArmor Plus helps protect homes with highly mold-resistant glass mats on front and back, so it gets the highest possible rating when tested, as manufactured, in ASTM D 3273 mold-resistance tests. Even better, DensArmor Plus carries a three- month limited warranty against deterioration as a result of exposure to normal weather conditions, allowing you to hang it before installing doors and windows.

    CAD Corner: EcoSpace ToolBox

    KONE makes it easy for architects and consultants to design the right solution.

    Introduced at the recent AIA Convention in Los Angeles, the EcoSpace Toolbox lets you obtain customized CAD drawings and CSI building specifications for the EcoSpace elevator product.

    KONE EcoSpace is designed to fit in the hydraulic footprint and still deliver pure traction machine room- less performance. It's an ideal low-rise solution for Residential, Office or Public Access spaces.

    Drawings and specifications generated by the EcoSpace Toolbox are intended for preliminary planning only.


    Spotlight On: Insulated Concrete Forms

    ICF construction is a method of creating exterior walls with expanded polystyrene forms or blocks, stacked together and filled onsite with concrete. ICFs are not new—they've been around for the past 30 years. ICF construction takes the three-step process of framing, insulating, and wrapping a home, and ties it all into one. Constructed from expanded polystyrene and stacked like building blocks to form the exterior walls of a home, the forms are reinforced with steel and filled with concrete. The forms interlock and fasten one to the other to provide seamless "foundation to rafter" fully insulated, reinforced concrete walls.
