We lifted the weight. And changed the game.
SHEETROCK Brand UltraLight Panels FIRECODE 30.
"The corridors, or the thirty-minute wall, we can use the lightweight 5/8 on all that.
About the only thing we need the X-board on is the stairwells and the rated areas."
Lighter.
"Handling the old type-X SHEETROCK, it was heavy, it was hard, hard to move around. With
the lightweight, you can maneuver it around, you can get it in. It's easier. One person
can do it. You don't need two people."
Just as strong.
"You can bend it and it's not going to break. You can do any kind of cut on it and
nothing will happen to it."
Safer.
"We're not hurting any of our guys that are handling it. We're not hurting nobody's
backs. It's just a whole lot quicker. Happy to have this kind of board."
More productive.
"Using the lightweight board, we can hang probably three or four sheets an hour extra,
which over the course of the day, it adds up, and over the week, it just moves the process
along a lot quicker."
Less waste.
"The waste on this board doesn't weigh as much as it would if we had the older board,
the heavier board, and it just seems to me like if you've put a pile of scrap out of the
new board, the lightweight board, and then a pile of the other board, you're going
to pay less obviously for the lightweight to dispose of."
The greatest innovation in drywall since we invented drywall.
"Man, I love this board. I don't ever want to go back to the regular board."
