N.S. contractor takes gypsum honours

MISSISSAUGA, Ont. — Tartan Interiors, Ltd., will represent Canada at the 10th Saint-Gobain Gypsum International Trophy Awards ceremony this June in Prague after winning top honours at the inaugural CertainTeed Gypsum Canada Trophy event in Vancouver. Hailed for their creative use of CertainTeed Gypsum products in the construction of Halifax Central Library, the Nova Scotia finishing contractor is one of only three companies selected to represent North America in the international ceremony. “The CertainTeed Gypsum Canada Trophy expresses our appreciation and respect for talented building professional partners who have demonstrated creative and exceptional uses of our gypsum products,” said Dave Engelhardt, president of CertainTeed Gypsum. “We were especially impressed with Tartan Interiors for their exemplary interior wall work in the new Halifax Central Library.” The 11,000-square-metre library’s design features include a skylighted atrium—criss-crossed by stairs and walkways—that spans the interior height of the structure and a rooftop terrace that offers a broad view of the city and its harbour.
