Newport Beach, CA - June 19, 2002: Centex Homes, one of the nation's leading homebuilders, has chosen FIRM-FILL Gypsum Concrete as the preferred floor underlayment for installation in two condominium complexes, Chatterton Village and Hampton Ridge located in Canton and Howell, Michigan. The scope of the project is impressive. Fifty 12-unit condominium buildings will receive an application of 10,000 square feet of FIRM-FILL Gypsum Concrete. The CDI Group, a mid Michigan-based Licensed Applicator of Hacker Floor Underlayments, was awarded this prestigious opportunity based on the undisputed reputation for excellent quality that Hacker Floor Underlayments have generated over the years, and The CDI Group's recognized expertise in their application.

"We plan to run this project with optimum efficiency and everyone has an important duty to maintain both quality and schedule. We mix all Hacker Floor Underlayments at the construction site to project specifications and test them before and during the installation to ascertain we have the proper mix design. We are in control of both quality and timing," said Mike Lynch, Owner of The CDI Group. "We were chosen for this project after substantial reference checks. We show up on time, we have new, meticulously maintained equipment and we are motivated. I am present on every job. Centex Homes is already pleased with their decision to hire us and we will exceed all of their expectations."

FIRM-FILL Gypsum Concrete is a high-strength cementitious floor underlayment that provides the necessary fire ratings and sound control in multi-family housing. Mixed onsite to project specifications, FIRM-FILL Gypsum Concrete is pumped in place over the subfloor, providing a smooth, flat surface ready for the installation of finished floor coverings. The installation is quick; up to 40,000 square feet can be installed in a single day and the product can be walked on in 90 minutes. This is a great advantage for tight construction schedules as other sub-trades can begin their work the day after installation.

Hacker Floor Underlayments have approvals from ICBO, BOCA, SBCCI, HUD and are an integral part of over 83 UL listings. Ideal for new construction, renovation and repair projects, Hacker Floor Underlayments have a product to meet virtually any job specification.
