The Gypsum Association has released a revised and expanded edition of its specialized publication, GA 214, Recommended Levels of Finish for Gypsum Board, Glass Mat, and Fibre-Reinforced Gypsum Panels<\/em><\/span>. Photo courtesy Gypsum Association<\/span><\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The Gypsum Association<\/a> has announced the revision of GA 214, a specialized publication on gypsum board finishes.<\/p>\n

Collaborating with the Association of the Wall and Ceilings Industries International (AWCI), the Ceilings and Interior Systems Construction Association (CISCA), the Painting and Decorating Contractors of America (PDCA), and the Drywall Finishing Council (DWFC), the group reworked Recommended Levels of Finish for Gypsum Board, Glass Mat, and Fiber-reinforced Gypsum Panels<\/em> so it is more comprehensible. Additionally, it now also includes recommendations for unfaced and non-paper-faced gypsum panels.<\/p>\n

The report guides architects, contractors, and other interested parties in establishing mutual expectations by describing and communicating interior finishing requirements.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs the needs, requirements, and expectations regarding drywall finishing evolve over time, it is essential related industry organizations collaborate to ensure changes are made in accordance with established practices,\u201d said Robert Negri, DWFC president. \u201cGA 214 is a great example of industry organizations collaborating for the common good, which is why the DWFC\u2019s diverse Technical Committee made this revision a priority.\u201d<\/p>\n

However, not everything in the report has changed. The levels of finish still range from Level 0, where no taping, finishing, or accessories are required, to Level 5, which is the recommended finish for dark paint, paints with sheen or gloss, or surfaces exposed to severe lighting conditions.<\/p>\n
