DensGlass^® Sheathing

DensGlass^® Sheathing is the premium gypsum sheathing in the marketplace. The product features a moisture-resistant core and enhanced fiberglass mats, instead of paper facings, to resist the effects of moisture exposure during and after construction. It is so weather-resistant that Georgia-Pacific backs it with a 12-Month Weather Exposure Limited Warranty.

DensGlass^® Sheathing enhancements announced in 2008 include enhanced fiberglass mats which offer even better wind uplift resistance, make the product easier to handle, and reduce the amount of primer needed for self-adhered membranes. The improved wind load values of DensGlass sheathing enable it to withstand winds in excess of 155 mph — a Category 5 Hurricane — when installed horizontally with the proper screws and spacing.

This Georgia-Pacific sheathing is the ideal substrate behind brick, siding, EIFS, stucco and other permanent claddings. It is a superior choice for architects and builders who are concerned about construction schedules that might be delayed by adverse weather conditions.
