Georgia-Pacific Building Products, Atlanta, has partnered with HGTV star Chip Wade for a residential project. The project will feature donated ForceField® Weather Barrier System, DensElement® Barrier System, ToughRock® Gypsum Boards and DensShield® Tile Backer products.
Pinhoti Peak, a modern luxury home in northern Georgia, is designed to showcase the building envelope, and Georgia-Pacific Building Products’ materials will play a key role. In particular, ForceField Weather Barrier System and DensElement Barrier System will serve as a line of defense against the elements, helping to reduce the risk of water damage and air leakage and prevent weather damage. Pinhoti Peak is scheduled to be completed in early 2022.
“Throughout all of our projects, we want to use innovative building products that protect our investment, tight timelines and reputation,” Wade says. “We are excited to work with Georgia-Pacific Building Products and experience firsthand how their integrated sheathing products not only protect the building envelope but save time and money during installation.”
