The Gypsum Association (GA) recently updated two technical documents to address joint treatment in severe weather and application of gypsum sheathing.<\/p>\n

GA-236, Joint Treatment Under Extreme Weather Conditions<\/em>, and GA-253, Application of Gypsum Sheathing<\/em>, were revised to ensure recommendations reflect current best practices.<\/p>\n

A new graphic for GA-236 was developed by the Drywall Finishing Council (DWFC) to illustrate joint compound drying times as a function of temperature at a specific relative humidity (RH).<\/p>\n

\u201cThis graphic representation of drying times under specific conditions provides great guidance for contractors in the field, especially those who work in regions where temperature and humidity levels are a frequent concern,\u201d said Michael Schmeida, GA\u2019s director of technical services.<\/p>\n

GA-253 describes proper methods of handling, storing, and applying a gypsum panel product type increasingly popular as a substrate for exterior cladding. It clarifies fastener recommendations and better defines the appropriate water-resistant barriers for use in conjunction with gypsum sheathing.<\/p>\n
