DensArmor Plus
®
Interior Panels feature fi berglass mats on both the front and the back for the best in interior protection from
moisture currently available. The moisture-resistant fi berglass mats make DensArmor Plus panels the ideal replacement for
paper-faced moisture and mold resistant gypsum board or greenboard. A revolutionary departure from traditional wallboard,
the face of DensArmor Plus panels fi nishes in a similar manner to traditional wallboard and offers superior performance in
resisting mold.
For years, DensGlass
®
Sheathing has been proven tough in commercial construction—under the most challenging weather
conditions. Now the same powerful protection is working on the inside as DensArmor Plus
®
Interior Panels.
Integrating DensArmor Plus panels into your specifications is part of an overall building solution that can help address the mold
issue and reduces the time and expense of replacing alternative products if they become wet.

Reduce Costly Remediation with Proven Fiberglass Mat Technology
The unique moisture-resistant features of DensArmor Plus
®
Interior Panels allow builders to install gypsum assemblies when it’s
not feasible to wait until cladding is completed. Georgia-Pacific Gypsum DensArmor Plus
®
Interior Panel offers limited warranties
against damage from exposure to normal weather conditions or humidity if they are stored and installed according to instructions
from the manufacturer. Paper-faced products are often damaged by wind-driven rain and moisture during installation. By building
from the inside out with these moisture-resistant gypsum products, general contractors potentially can complete projects
ahead of schedule, and building owners have an opportunity to generate faster cash flow by moving paying occupants in more
quickly. Not every project will realize such significant results, and cost savings will vary by project. DensArmor Plus panels offer
a 12-month limited warranty that guards against delamination and deterioration when exposed to normal weather conditions
during and after installation and a three-year limited warranty against manufacturing defects. For complete warranty details, visit
