CGC Introduces SHEETROCK® Brand Glass-Mat Liner Panel
Only Manufacturer to Offer Complete System of Liner Panels and
Steel Components
Mississauga, Ontario -- March 1, 2011 -- CGC Inc. announced
today the introduction of SHEETROCK® Glass-Mat Liner Panel,
available now across Canada. This high-performance, mould and
water resistant glass-mat panel is for use in shaft wall systems
and gypsum fire wall systems.
"We can't control the weather on the construction site, but we
have manufactured a product that can better withstand exposure to
the elements," says Brian Milbury, Associate Product Manager,
Panels, CGC Inc. "The SHEETROCK® Glass-Mat Liner Panel enables you
to stay on schedule, on spec and on budget."
The SHEETROCK® Glass-Mat Liner Panel has improved mould,
mildew and water resistance compared to standard liners. The
mould-resistant core allows the panels to be exposed to the weather
for up to 12 months after application. Installation is dry and
quick via a simple score-and-snap process, eliminating the need for
sawing or special tools. Panels are 1" (25.4 mm) thick x 24" (610
mm) wide and available in 8' and 10' standard lengths, with other
lengths available by special order. Each panel weighs approximately
4 lbs/sq.ft.
"Customers who've already tried SHEETROCK® Glass-Mat Liner Panel
tell us they are easier to cut and rasp, fit more snugly in a stud,
are less brittle and less likely to break while moving than
competitors' glass-mat liner panels," says Julie Delmonte, Product
Manager, Panels, CGC Inc. "This is great feedback on an important
addition to our family of interior panel products."
SHEETROCK® Glass-Mat Liner Panels are cUL Classified and
ULC listed for fire resistance, surface burning characteristics and
non-combustibility. Comprehensive product and system testing
ensures long-term performance and safety. They are guaranteed
for five years against manufacturing defects and have a 12-month
limited-exposure warranty.
