The Gypsum Association (GA) has translated four publications into both Canadian French and Spanish. This is the third time GA-216, Application and Finishing of Gypsum Panel Products, has been translated into both languages. GA-216 is referenced in the International Building Code (IBC) as an appropriate standard for the application and installation of gypsum boards and panels. French and Spanish copies of the specification may be purchased through the association’s online bookstore.
Additional documents translated into French and Spanish are available as free downloads, as are their English-language counterparts. The following publications are now available in three languages:
- GA-220-2016, Gypsum Board Winter-Related Installation Recommendations (Download GA-220 in French, Spanish, or English);
- GA-222-2014, Repairing Screw or Nail Pops (Download GA-222 in French, Spanish, or English); and
- GA-225-2015, Repair of Fire-rated Gypsum Panel Product Systems (Download GA-225 in French, Spanish, or English).
“The Gypsum Association is pleased to offer these documents in Canadian French and Spanish,” said the association’s executive director Stephen Meima, APR, LEED Green Assoc. “These documents serve important constituencies across North America.”
