    EP7: Commercial shaftwall enclosure design and construction essentials

    Understand these critical life safety systems to avoid costly installation errors The gypsum board shaftwall system was first implemented in 1973 to accommodate increasingly tall buildings and was first used in the World Trade Center. Shaftwall assemblies enclose all manner of shafts: elevators, stairs, trash chutes and ventilation ducts to name a few. They are designed to prevent fire from spreading between floors via these shafts and to protect stairways as an escape route for building occupants during fires. Gypsum board is lighter than traditional shaft enclosure materials, such as masonry, and provides efficient and economical installation. In this episode, Sam Halverson, construction services manager with the 1-800-NATIONAL Construction Services team, talks with host Chris Whitmire about why it’s important to correctly design and install shaftwall enclosures. Listeners will learn: The purpose and history of shaft enclosures The difference between 1-hour and 2-hour UL fire-rated shaftwall systems A breakdown of materials used to construct a shaftwall and how it is constructed Gold Bond Building Products gypsum boards and shaftliner panels recommended for use in shaft enclosures How a shaftwall is designed to be fire-rated from both sides Tips for including elevator guide rail support posts in a shaftwall When the building code requires shaft enclosures to have impact resistance How shaftwall assemblies can be used as ceiling assemblies Best practices for ensuring fire-resistance continuity in shaftwall corners   Want to know more?

    EP6: Understanding abuse- vs. impact-resistant gypsum board

    When specifying gypsum board for commercial projects, it is important to differentiate between abuse-resistant and impact-resistant types to ensure the contractor selects the correct board. Otherwise, the building owner may experience unexpected damage, resulting in callbacks and repairs. Listeners will learn:  The difference between standard, abuse-resistant and impact-resistant gypsum boards How Gold Bond® XP® Hi-Abuse® Gypsum Board, Gold Bond® XP® Hi-Impact®, Gold Bond® eXP® Interior Extreme® AR Gypsum Panels and Gold Bond® eXP® Interior Extreme® IR Gypsum Panels are constructed How the four tests that make up ASTM C1629 Standard Classification for Abuse-Resistant Nondecorated Interior Gypsum Panel Products and Fiber-Reinforced Cement Panels are conducted and how Gold Bond products perform in each test Situations where glass mat abuse- and impact-resistant products are recommended over paper-faced products When to recommend abuse-resistant vs. impact-resistant gypsum board based on the size, use and expected occupancy of a space The importance of listing abuse- and impact-resistant products separately in the specification to avoid confusion over which product is needed Want to know more?  Read the “Abuse- vs. impact-resistant gypsum board” blog article Earn a one-hour learning credit by taking the updated “Abuse and Impact Resistant Gypsum: Stronger and Safer Walls”  continuing education course Read the “Shorten construction schedules with eXP products”  blog article to learn about the benefits of pre-rock construction Explore Gold Bond abuse- and impact-resistant products Download the XP® Family of Interior Products  brochure Download the eXP Family of Glass Mat Products  brochure   Download today’s show transcript or watch NGConnects on YouTube.

    EP5: What’s the difference between a Level 4 and a Level 5 finish?

    Understanding the different levels of gypsum board finishes is crucial for achieving the desired look and durability in any construction project. While the five levels of finish build each upon the next to create smoother and more refined surfaces, this podcast explores what separates the two highest-quality finishes: Level 4 and Level 5. Listeners will learn: The requirements for Level 0–5 drywall finishes The role the putty knife size plays as a drywall finisher ascends through the finish levels The key differences between Level 4 and Level 5 finishes Design scenarios where a Level 5 finish is recommended The role of the skim coat in a Level 5 finish Best practices to clearly communicate to the architect, drywall finisher and building owner which finish level is needed Want to know more?

    EP4: Understanding the ratings behind acoustical wall, ceiling and roof assemblies

    Noise pollution can have harmful effects on human health, ranging from simple annoyance and distraction to increased blood pressure and stress.* Effectively reducing the distance sound can travel is critical to creating pleasant spaces where people live, work and play. The first step toward designing quality acoustical assemblies is understanding the differences between Sound Transmission Class (STC), Impact Insulation Class (IIC), Ceiling Attenuation Class (CAC) and Outdoor-Indoor Transmission Class (OITC). Listeners will learn:  Why noise reduction is important What the four acoustic ratings — STC, IIC, CAC and OITC — measure and how they are tested Real-world examples of noise challenges gypsum board acoustical assemblies solve The role National Gypsum’s Fire & Sound Assembly Selector can play in selecting assemblies that meet both acoustical and fire ratings Want to know more?  Explore our Fire & Sound Assembly Selector to streamline planning and estimating Take a look at the Gold Bond® SoundBreak® XP® family of products Download The SoundBook®, the industry’s leading resource for technical details and sound-rated assembly drawings Download the CAC assemblies mentioned in the episode Download the Sound Solutions Guide Take a deep dive into acoustical design by reading our library of acoustics-focused blog posts: Making sense of acoustical ratings alphabet soup 6 variables that affect STC ratings Using roof coverboard to reduce outside sound transmission Choosing building materials for better acoustics How to reduce sound transmission in floor-ceiling assemblies Understanding acoustical assemblies with The SoundBook Do you have a question you’d like us to answer or a topic we should cover?

    EP2: Simplify mixed-material exteriors in any climate with PermaBASE CI

    Specifying continuous insulation has become common as communities adopt more current versions of the International Energy Conservation Code. At the same time, current exterior design trends for commercial, multifamily and mixed-use retail/residential favor mixed-material facades which break up storefronts and lend a scaled down neighborhood feel. Combining veneers — thin brick, thin stone, stucco and tile, to name a few — empowers architects and builders to create unique exteriors.   In this episode, Eddie Neel, market manager for PermaBASE® Building Products, talks to Chris Whitmire, director of product marketing at National Gypsum Company, about how PermaBASE CI® Insulated Cement Board provides a simple solution to both challenges.  Listeners will learn: What continuous insulation is and how it can help meet energy code requirements How PermaBASE CI is constructed and how it simplifies the installation of mixed material exteriors that also meet energy code requirements The concept of “R-values” as it pertains to buildings and materials   Which adhered veneers work with PermaBASE CI and how they are installed Recommendations for horizontal and vertical transitions between different adhered veneers When to install control joints on adhered veneers installed on PermaBASE CI Want to know more?
