Bangkok, May 2, 2018 - Thai Gypsum Products Public Company Limited is the first gypsum manufacturer in Thailand and a provider of high-quality gypsum innovations for walls and ceilings under the brand “Yiprok”. Together with Saint-Gobain Weber Co., Ltd. (Weber with the Gecko logo), a global leader in cement-based tile adhesives, grouts, waterproofing products, and mortars for construction, and Saint-Gobain Glass Exprover Thailand, a manufacturer of glass and a global leader in glass innovation for residential and commercial buildings, they are showcasing their innovations together for the first time at Architect '61. They present the best construction solutions to meet the needs of consumers at all levels, focusing on project management, energy savings, and environmental conservation for modern construction. The booth is designed under the concept of Multi Comfort by Saint-Gobain, allowing architects, real estate developers, engineers, home decoration enthusiasts, and design students to experience cutting-edge construction innovations from the three partners at Booth D101 at Architect '61 from May 1-6, 2018, at the Impact Exhibition and Convention Center, Muang Thong Thani.

The concept of Multi Comfort by Saint-Gobain encompasses construction and renovation for residential buildings, offices, hospitals, and educational institutions. It represents a new design approach that provides comfort, enhances quality of life, and promotes the well-being of individuals, allowing building users to live, work, and relax more effectively. The Multi Comfort concept is divided into four aspects based on human senses: sight (visual comfort), touch (thermal comfort), smell (air quality comfort), and hearing (acoustic comfort). Under this concept, Yiprok, Weber, and Saint-Gobain Glass have collaborated to create innovations that provide comfort across all sensory dimensions, including environmentally friendly solutions, noise reduction, innovations for wet areas, heat protection, health-promoting building materials, and well-being in building usage.


Mr. Nicolas Godet, CEO of the Construction Products Division for Southeast Asia at Saint-Gobain stated, “353 years ago, Saint-Gobain pioneered the development of innovative materials and construction solutions that shape our living environments today. Saint-Gobain continues to innovate to create new solutions that enable consumers to live more sustainably and comfortably. Research and development are at the heart of Saint-Gobain’s strategy, focusing on both modern innovations and continuous improvements in products, processes, and construction services, with an open spirit and attention to consumer needs.”
“In line with the Thailand 4.0 policy announced by the Ministry of Energy regarding the management of the country’s energy system to ensure stable energy sources, competitive costs, and environmental sustainability, Saint-Gobain has launched the Multi Comfort program in Thailand, offering high-performance products and solutions that enhance comfort and energy savings to create a more sustainable indoor environment for our consumers. We believe that building users ultimately desire buildings with perfect characteristics, and the Multi Comfort program not only excels in energy efficiency but also provides the highest level of comfort for all building users. It is crucial to understand how the building materials you choose can enable the building to operate at peak efficiency over the long term, especially in today’s complex and changing seasonal environments,” Mr. Nicolas added.
Yiprok, Weber, and Saint-Gobain Glass operate under the management of the Saint-Gobain Group, which has successfully expanded its business for over 353 years. The Saint-Gobain Group is globally renowned for designing, manufacturing, and distributing high-quality construction materials, with the residential construction market being a core market that accounts for nearly 70% of the group’s sales. By offering a diverse range of products and services to the construction market, Saint-Gobain’s products help enhance construction efficiency, energy savings, heat and noise protection, visibility, and the health and well-being of building users. Solutions are provided for both building envelopes (roofs, facade coatings, external insulation systems, insulated glass, etc.) and interior decoration (insulation, gypsum boards, ceilings, etc.), which are widely used in modern residential construction projects (both single-family homes and condominiums). This collaboration at the event reinforces Saint-Gobain’s status as a global leader in the residential and construction market, as well as its commitment to developing solutions and construction innovations for consumers at all levels. Yiprok, Weber, and Saint-Gobain Glass have created energy-efficient products and solutions that provide comfort, promote health and well-being, and offer superior aesthetics while conserving natural resources.

As a leader in the market for prefabricated wall and ceiling systems in Thailand, Yiprok continuously strives to innovate to integrate the use of gypsum boards with the needs of various building types, offering efficiency in energy savings, soundproofing requirements, fire protection, indoor air quality, etc., to create modern indoor environments that are comfortable and safe for all users.
