Only Manufacturer to Offer Complete System of Interior Liner Panels and Steel Components

Mississauga, Ontario — March 1, 2011 — CGC Inc. announced the introduction of SHEETROCK® Interior 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® Interior Glass-Mat Liner Panel enables you to stay on schedule, on spec and on budget."

The SHEETROCK® Interior 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® Interior 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® Interior 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.
