Product description
CertainTeed's GlasRoc Shaftliner Type X is an innovative solution for those looking to create high-performance fire-resistant walls and ceilings in shafts and elevator areas. Made from high-quality materials,
GlasRoc Shaftliner Type X provides superior protection against fire, moisture, and mold. GlasRoc Shaftliner Type X features a unique design that includes reinforced fiberglass mat facers, providing exceptional strength and durability. This design ensures that the wall and ceiling remain intact and stable, even in high-moisture areas such as bathrooms, kitchens, and basements.
Easy to install, GlasRoc Shaftliner Type X can be cut to size using a utility knife or saw, ensuring a perfect fit for any project. Its lightweight construction also makes it easy to handle and work with, reducing the risk of fatigue and injury during installation.
Designed to resist fire, moisture, and mold, GlasRoc Shaftliner Type X is an ideal option for areas that require a high level of fire resistance. It is also resistant to moisture and mold, making it a safe option for any project.
In addition to its superior performance, GlasRoc Shaftliner Type X is also an eco-friendly option. It meets GREENGUARD® Gold for low emitting VOC content.
Interpretation
Based on the results from the life cycle assessment model, the life cycle impacts are strongly driven by the manufacture. The impacts of the manufacture are primarily attributed to the natural gas usage needed for the ovens to dry the boards. The natural gas usage in the manufacture accounts for as much as 34% of the cradle-to-grave environmental impact potentials for CertainTeed GlasRoc Shaftliner Gypsum Boards at the Nashville, AR facility.
The manufacturing of gypsum board (A3) has the highest contribution to Global Warming Potential impacts. The switch from paper facing material to fiberglass mat accounts for the higher raw material impacts for GlasRoc Sheathing versus typical gypsum board. The use of internally recycled gypsum material helps to reduce the overall environmental impact potentials by reducing the amount of external raw materials needed for the process.
Another potentially significant contributor to the overall environmental impact results is seen in the results for the installation of the Gypsum Boards. The installation waste accounts for the majority of the impacts for installation. The PCR requires the use of a 10% installation waste scenario in the absence of actual data. As there is currently no actual installation data available, and because installation techniques may vary widely among installers, CertainTeed has little to no influence on the installation impacts.
LCIA results are relative expressions and do not predict impacts on category endpoints, the exceeding of thresholds, safety margins or risks. EPDs are comparable only when they follow the same PCR, functional unit and system boundary. The full EPD (PDF) contains the methodology, scenario assumptions and verification statement.
