| Speed construction, fight mold...& get a free
lunch! |
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.
