Later that afternoon, Nestor Sanchez, Manager Architectural Systems for USG Building Systems, Inc. will discuss fire resistant partitions, floor/ceiling and roof ceiling systems used in commercial and residential construction. Nestor has extensive knowledge of the ASTM standards used to test rated assemblies.
