Fire and Acoustical Considerations in Cross Laminated Timber Construction
This course will discuss the various types of Mass Timber Construction, focusing on the Fire and Acoustical Considerations associated with Cross Laminated Timber Construction. Topics will include the differences and benefits of each type of mass timber assemblies, the reasons behind two hour fire ratings and the role gypsum underlayments play in fire resistance, planned changes to the International Building Code, and the pitfalls and solutions to sound control in mass timber assemblies.
Building Smarter: Acoustic Isolation Systems vs. Composite & Magnesium Oxide Cement Board Products
Discover what Acoustic Isolation systems are and how they perform vs. traditional board products like magnesium oxide (MgO) board and other composite board products in fire safety, sound control, durability, and efficiency. This webinar, led by Maxxon’s underlayment and acoustical experts, will explore board products and their capabilities and how gypsum solutions deliver superior results for architects, contractors, and developers. Gain actionable insights to protect your projects, investments, and reputation with smarter building practices.
Surface Applied Moisture Vapor Barriers
Concrete slabs are susceptible to moisture vapor emissions from the ground and varying humidity conditions. In this presentation, participants will learn how to assess the potential need for a vapor barrier, the types of vapor barriers available, and how to test the moisture content of a concrete slab. Participants will also learn the basic installation process of a surface-applied moisture vapor barrier.
The Sound Decision: Floor-Ceiling Assemblies in Multistory Construction
This course examines how the acoustic environment influences occupant wellness and satisfaction. Participants will learn key sound science concepts, methods for measuring sound in buildings, and relevant codes and standards for various building types. By the end, you’ll be equipped to choose the right sound control system to create acoustic environments that enhance occupant experience and well-being.
Acoustic, Fire Safety, and Sustainable Solutions: Underlayment Best Practices
This course explores the various cement underlayments used in construction. It focuses on distinct features created to meet specific project needs. Benefits of gypsum underlayments include fire safety, acoustic performance, low VOC emissions, and sustainability, which contribute to LEED certification. LEED certification contributes toward GREENGUARD certification. They also help comply with building codes for construction ranging from mass timber to concrete structures. The importance of moisture vapor barriers will also be discussed, offering practical insights for design professionals.
