Fit, finish, and function for fast-paced interiors
In large-scale interior buildslike hotels, healthcare facilities, or multifamily complexesspeed and finish consistency matter Tongue-and-groove (T&G) drywall panels are designed to meet that need by offering a self-aligning edge profile that simplifies installation and reduces the need for extensive taping.

Installing corner bead isnt hardits just slow And when you’re racing to finish drywall on a multi-unit project, every minute counts.
Glass rail systems have become a popular choice in modern architecture due to their sleek aesthetic, ability to maximize views, and versatility in both residential and commercial projects However, selecting and installing glass railings that comply with local building codes is essential to ensure safety, durability, and legal approval.
The Importance of Code Compliance for Glass Rail Systems
Building codes establish minimum safety standards for guardrails and handrails to protect occupants from falls and accidents, especially in elevated areas like balconies, staircases, and terraces.
Is Time on Site or Transport Efficiency Your Bigger Concern?
