CertainTeed Gypsum’s GlasRoc® High Performance Sheathing & The Avenue at Westchase

CertainTeed Gypsum´s GlasRoc® High Performance Sheathing provides enhanced dimensional stability, yet it is flexible enough to bend to curved surfaces, like the towers at The Avenue at Westchase.

Case Study: The Avenue at Westchase, Tampa, FL

The subdivision of Westchase, in north Tampa, Florida is an upscale community made up of 3,000 single and multi-family residences. There is even a West Park Village Town Center with a park and a bandstand. The Avenue is made up of several buildings, each offering a generous amount of retail space and is owned/operated by Real Estate Property Specialists, Inc. Aesthetics and overall appeal of The Avenue was very important to Alan Charron, President of Real Estate Property Specialists, Inc. He put seven architects through a rigorous qualification process in search of a perfect design to compliment the environment. CertainTeed´s GlasRoc®

High Performance Sheathing has many benefits beyond competitive products. It was created with a patented technology called Enhanced Glass Reinforced Gypsum Technology (EGRG) and is considered "the next generation" of high performance, weather-resistive, gypsum-based sheathing. This unique EGRG technology uses reinforcing glass mats, fully-embedded into a water-resistant gypsum core positioned beneath a paperless polymer-modified gypsum surface. A protective acrylic coating is applied on the exterior face. According to Sikon Construction Project Superintendent Jason Rice, Clearwater Interiors, "Installers were happy when they found out they´d be installing GlasRoc® Sheathing at The Avenue". That´s because their foam, which is applied with specially formulated adhesives, bonds to

 

GlasRoc® Sheathing better than yellow board. "Contractors tell us it is easier to work with because it snaps apart easily after it´s been scored," says CertainTeed Sales rep Doug Looney. GlasRoc® Sheathing provides enhanced dimensional stability. It is strong, yet flexible enough to bend to curved surfaces, and it has excellent fire resistance properties and numerous fire-rated assemblies. GlasRoc® Sheathing comes with a six-month limited warranty against exterior exposure, as well as a five-year limited warranty, assuring The Avenue at Westchase long-term product performance.
