Included in the line of innovative, moisture- and mold-resistant Dens products, widely used in commercial and residential construction, are DensArmor Plus® interior drywall, Dens Armor Plus Abuse Guard® abuse-resistant drywall, DensShield® tile backer, DensGlass® shaftliner, DensDeck® roof boards, and DensGlass® sheathing. The GOLD color of this gypsum sheathing, often seen in a city skyline while buildings are under construction, became a registered trademark of the company in 2006.
To meet the needs of commercial architects and builders, Georgia-Pacific sponsors gpdens.com as a resource about how building with non-paper-faced fiberglass mat gypsum products can be beneficial toward preventing mold growth during the construction cycle and keeping construction projects on track for completion without delays from weather-related factors.
