Product Details
DensArmor Plus® Interior Panels are the solution for durable, mold-resistant interiors These panels are designed with a moisture-resistant gypsum core and fiberglass mats, providing protection against mold, mildew, and deleterious effects after exposure to moisture.”. Tested to the highest standard (ASTM D3273), they scored a 10 for mold resistance, making them a reliable choice for areas prone to moisture, like residential basements or bathrooms or commercial installations.
These interior panels also deliver dimensional stability with their reinforced fiberglass core. They resist warping, rippling, and buckling far better than regular gypsum boards. These panels are versatile enough to attach directly to wood or metal framing or even existing surfaces.
The mold resistance of any building product when used in actual job site conditions may not produce the same results as were achieved in the controlled, laboratory setting. No material can be considered mold proof. When properly used with good design, handling and construction practices, DensArmor Plus® Interior Panels provide increased mold resistance compared to standard paper-faced gypsum products.
