An Alternative to Traditional Paper-Faced Wallboard
Atlanta-based Georgia-Pacific’s DensArmor® Plus is a new generation wallboard panel designed to be used as a replacement for traditional paper-faced wallboard. Incorporating glass mat facings and a treated moisture-resistant gypsum core, DensArmor Plus provides a high level of moisture and mold resistance, according to a company release. Substitution of glass mat facings for the paper facings found on regular wallboard helps to remove a potential food source for mold development. When the combination of temperature and elevated humidity or moisture combine over time with mold spores in a wall cavity or wall surface, it is possible for mold to develop on paper-faced wallboard.
DensArmor Plus has physical properties conforming to the applicable sections of ASTM C1177 and C630.
