With over 50 years of experience, we are a premier acoustic panel and specialty ceilings innovator that also enhances overall aesthetics. Our portfolio includes acoustical, gypsum tile, metal, and specialty ceilings as well as both standard and seismically rated suspension systems.
Used to make interior walls and ceilings, our plasterboards are the result of over 100 years of scientific experimentation and innovation success. Cleaner, faster, and easily handled by fewer workers, we have installed more than 725 million square meters of plasterboards worldwide.
Compared to traditional wet wall solutions, our substrates are lightweight (thereby reducing installation costs and speeding up construction) and versatile - making them ideal for unique building designs as they are able to be curved and applied to different finishes including paint, tile, stone, and texture.
Our range of metal components and profiles allows the construction of drywall and ceilings to be done faster, more accurately, and cleaner than conventional methods. Also, this innovative framing can be engineered to suit a job site’s requirements while achieving global construction standards.
Used for jointing, bonding, skimming, and creating textured finishes for building interiors. We boast a broad range of products for compounds, along with our extensive capability to formulate solutions according to your needs.
Behind every build is a place dedicated to innovation staffed by leading experts in the fields of material science, engineering (chemical, mechanical and civil), chemistry (physical, inorganic and analytical), and architecture.
