DensGlass Details

 

DensGlass Sheathing should be specified for any project where flexibility and easy sheathing installation are paramount without the headaches and expense of delamination, deterioration, sagging and warping.Look for the distinctive GOLD color to ensure you're using genuine DensGlass Sheathing.

Mold Resistance
In independent testing, DensGlass Sheathing, with its fiberglass mat design, has achieved a score of 10, the highest level of performance for mold resistance under ASTM D 3273. For additional information concerning mold resistance, go to www.buildgp.com/safetyinfo.

Strength
Fiberglass mats penetrate into the panel to make an integrated unit that offers superb strength; outstanding resistance to delamination, deterioration, warping and job site damage; and an excellent bonding surface for EIFS. The flexural strength of DensGlass Sheathing is approximately the same in both directions. This means DensGlass Sheathing can be installed either vertically or horizontally without sacrificing wall strength between studs. DensGlass panels also protect and help stabilize structural framing.

Stability
DensGlass Sheathing is extremely resistant to rippling, buckling and sagging, even under humid conditions, which makes it particularly suitable for soffits. In actual tests, DensGlass panels exceeded ASTM C 1396 standards for humidified deflection by a factor of five times over the standard for paper-faced gypsum sheathing.

Fire Resistance
DensGlass Sheathing is noncombustible as described and tested in accordance with ASTM E 136 or CAN/ULC S114. 

Superior Weather Protection
DensGlass Sheathing integrates a water-resistant, treated core with a fiberglass mat face and back to provide superb protection from the elements.
A water-resistive barrier is not required over DensGlass Sheathing to provide for the protection of the gypsum sheathing during installation. DensGlass Sheathing is the ideal substrate for a wide variety of air and water-resistive barriers including building wraps, fluid applied coatings, self-adhering membranes and spray foam applications.

Easy to Handle
DensGlass Sheathing is lightweight and easy to handle. It can be cut and fastened with standard drywall tools and fasteners. The product is much easier to work with than cement board, fiber cement sheathing or magnesium oxide sheathing which tend to be heavy and brittle.
