CertainTeed, a North American manufacturer of building materials, shares the winners for its 7th Annual CertainTeed Gypsum Trophy Awards, which recognizes contractors’ work across North America – each at the forefront of drywall design, installation, sustainability and craftsmanship.

“While this marks only the seventh Trophy Award for CertainTeed, the pause we had to take due to the pandemic made us realize how quickly this has become a luminary moment in our industry to honour and celebrate the innovative uses of our gypsum products, and the incredible teams behind them,” says Mathew P. Byrne, VP sales for Interior Products Group, USA.

“We’re honored to celebrate our North American winners and recognize their accomplishments,” said Wayne Edgecombe, VP sales, Canada. “We’re confident each project which showcases the diverse and creative ways drywall can be used as structural and design components – will inspire the same creativity amongst their fellow contractors.”

The competition, which is traditionally hosted every two years, assesses drywall and finishing contractors in the U.S. and Canada for their design skills with gypsum, spanning various categories such as creativity, innovation and sustainability. Winners are invited to attend the 7th CertainTeed Gypsum Trophy Awards event, which will be held October 17-19, 2024 at the Buffalo Mountain Lodge in Banff, Alta.

Of the winners listed below, four U.S. companies and three Canadian companies will serve as ambassadors of their countries at the 14th Saint-Gobain Gypsum International Trophy Awards, competing among contractors and their most prestigious projects from around the world in Paris, France in April 2025.
