Finally ! Lightweight Drywall

SHEETROCK® UltraLight Gypsum Panels are re-engineered, lightweight gypsum panels with a patented, composite design. The non-combustible core is encased in 100% recycled face and back papers. The natural finish face paper is folded around the long edges to reinforce and protect the core and the ends are cut square and even. The long edges of the panels are tapered, allowing joints to be reinforced and concealed with CGC or SYNKO® Interior Finishing Products.
The panels are for use in non-fire rated applications such as new residential, repair and remodel construction, and can be installed on steel or wood framing. SHEETROCK UltraLight Panels are manufactured to meet ASTM C1396 Specifications for 1/2" gypsum panels and 1/2" gypsum ceiling board, and comply with the requirements of the National Building Code of Canada as both regular drywall and ceiling board.
Lightweight, quality wall and ceiling panels for interior applications.

Laminate Counter Tops with a granite-like look
Today, granite is big news in home decor. But until now, there has not been the technology available to create a pattern that captures all the visual drama of a full granite slab. 180fx is a new collection that replicates the look and true scale of a natural granite slab without the
repitition of pattern found in conventional laminates. This collection allows you to experience the striking colour variations and veining of real granite. What's more, 180fx gives you the exotic beauty at a fraction of the price. Bring the luxury look of stone and the practical advantages of laminate to your kitchen countertop or island, a bathroom vanity, bar or where ever inspiration takes you! The Formica group has introduced nine granite designs to compliment today's interiors. See the samples in our showroom. To view or download a .pdf of the product, click here.
Joist Hanger Screws
![]()
Strong-Drive® SD Screw for Structural Connectors
Designed to replace nails in certain products, the load-rated SD screw has been tested and approved for use in many popular Simpson Strong-Tie® products. In certain applications screws
are easier and more convenient to install than nails, and the single-fastener load values achieved by the SD screw exceed those of typical joist hanger nails, respectively. In addition, the galvanized coating makes the SD screw ideal for both interior and most exterior conditions.
The SD structural-connector screw features an optimized shank which is specifically designed to be compatible with the fastener holes in Simpson Strong-Tie connectors. The hex head virtually eliminates cam-out and helps avoid stripping of the head during installation. The sharp point of the screw enables fast starts, and the patented serrated threads reduce torque for improved drivability.
•Ideal for use in tight spaces where using a
hammer is inconvenient •Optimized heat-treating for ductility and strength •Mechanically-galvanized coating meets ASTM B695 Class 55, is recommended for use with certain preservative-treated woods and is compliant with the 2006 International Residential Code® (R319.3) and the 2009 International Residential Code (R317.3) •1/4" hex drive •Head identification

Schluter Ditra-XL
Ceramic and stone tiles are durable, easy to maintain, and hygienic, representing the ideal surface coverings. However, today's lightweight construction methods can make the installation of hard surface coverings particularly challenging. In order to protect the integrity of the tile assembly, an underlayment that performs multiple
functions is required.
Schluter-DITRA-XL is a polyethylene membrane with a grid structure of square cavities, each cut back in a dovetail configuration, and an anchoring fleece laminated to its underside. Schluter-DITRA is bonded to the substrate using thin-set mortar. The anchoring fleece on the underside of Schluter-DITRA-XL is engaged in the mortar to provide a mechanical bond to the substrate.Read more on our flooring page by clicking here.
