Question 1

What is Smart Batch Systems® and how does it ensure quality?

Accepted Answer

Smart Batch Systems® is a precision mixing technology that measures every ingredient—water, sand, gypsum, and additives—of every batch in real time. It eliminates guesswork and inconsistent practices by recording data on every pour, resulting in better floors backed by verifiable, batch-level quality data.

Question 2

What are the Treadstone® gypsum underlayment options available for commercial projects?

Accepted Answer

Treadstone® offers proprietary fire-rated gypsum formulations including FR25, FR30, and engineered gypsum options. These are fire-resistive, non-shrinking, fast-cure underlayments with high flow, high strength, and abrasion resistance—designed to move past the soft, chalky gypsum products of the past. Full product data and spec documentation are available for architects and spec writers.

Question 3

How does installing gypsum before drywall benefit a project schedule?

Accepted Answer

Installing gypsum before drywall instead of after saves 10–14 days on most job sites. It also protects workers from silica exposure and eliminates mold risk caused by moisture wicking into drywall paper. This sequencing is made possible by Treadstone® Elite, an uncompressible rigid platform mat that prevents cracking or floor failure under drywall cart loads.

Question 4

How fast can gypsum underlayment be installed, and what are the dust and safety benefits?

Accepted Answer

Using Smart Batch® technology, installation can cover up to 40,000 square feet per day with 97% fewer dust events compared to traditional methods. This speed and cleanliness make it well-suited for large-scale commercial builds where schedule and jobsite air quality are critical.

Question 5

How do I get a quote for a gypsum concrete underlayment scope?

Accepted Answer

You can request a quote by providing your square footage, schedule, and spec details. Cemplex invites general contractors and project managers to submit their gypsum concrete scope for bidding, and they provide batch-level quality data on every pour as part of the project deliverables.
