Attendees Can Visit Homasote at Booth #S-2257
WEST
TRENTON, NJ – Homasote®, a leading manufacturer of
quality building and industrial packaging products made from 98 percent
recycled materials, will exhibit at the American Institute of
Architects (AIA) 2009 National Convention and Design Exposition held
April 30 – May 2 at the Moscone Center in San Francisco, California.
One
of the largest tradeshows for the building industry in the nation, the
AIA 2009 National Convention and Design Exposition gives attendees the
opportunity to experience new technology, materials and methods from
more than 800 exhibitors. Currently celebrating its 100th anniversary,
Homasote will showcase a variety of products at the event, including
its 440 SoundBarrier®, Pak-Line® and Homex® 300 lines. The company will
also launch its new product, DesignWall 440® – a cost-effective
prefinished interior paneling comprised of Guilford of Maine FR 701®
fabric laminated to 440 SoundBarrier fiberboard.
This new
addition to Homasote's interior tackable wall panel collection will
ultimately feature bold new colors as well as new fabric choices and
textures. The current DesignWall line features a premium, Class A fire
rating with Homasote's N.C.F.R. wall board as its substrate. The new
DesignWall 440 line is designed for applications that call for less
stringent fire ratings of the finished panels.
"Homasote
has been an enduring leader in this industry for 100 years because of
the company's ability to adapt to changing market conditions," said
Craig Stiffler, president and COO of Homasote. "We're excited to
showcase how versatile our products are to this core group of potential
business partners."
Homasote’s 440 SoundBarrier recently
received low emitting certification from the Collaborative for High
Performance Schools (CHPS), allowing the product to be used for
environmentally-conscious classroom construction where indoor air
quality is a concern. The company's products have also earned the
Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certification, which recognizes
Homasote's commitment to preventing deforestation. Homasote is also a
national member of the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC). These
certifications further illustrate the company's dedication to green
building practices and their commitment to validating Homasote
products' performance. For more information, visit www.Homasote.com.
