Fire Resistance

More than just a place to live and work, a structure is also intended to keep its occupants safe. When it comes to fire, this means choosing products that meet code and are designed to minimize loss and save lives.

As part of our long history of innovation in the building industry, USG invented the shaftwall assembly. USG also offers a complete and proprietary shaft wall system that meets UL certification as to fire, smoke and sound resistance in a streamlined and cost-effective way.  

Plus many of the following USG products, including our Sheetrock® Liner Panels and Sheetrock® brand acoustical sealant, are manufactured to meet the highest UL, FM and ASTM standards for fire resistance.
