January 17, 2007—CertainTeed Corporation announces the addition of gypsum wall board and ceiling tiles to its CertainTeed-branded line of interior and exterior building products.

In addition, Saint-Gobain’s well known Ecophon and Decoustics ceiling product brands will become part of the CertainTeed Ceilings line.
The CertainTeed-branded line of building products now includes the following categories: ceilings, walls, commercial and residential roofing; vinyl, polymer and fiber cement siding and millwork; vinyl windows and patio doors; commercial, mechanical, and residential insulation; fence, railing, deck; foundations; pipe and access covers.
The expanded CertainTeed brand names for use in commercial and residential buildings now includes these ceiling and wall products: ProRoc Gypsum Board, GlasRoc High-Performance Sheathing, ProFin Joint Compounds, Celotex Mineral Ceiling systems, Ecophon Acoustic ceilings, Decoustics Ceiling Systems, Capaul High-Performance Ceilings & Wall Systems, and Gyptone Designer Gypsum Ceiling Systems.
