A glass-mat faced gypsum panel line from Georgia-Pacific, designed for moisture and mold resistance.
Georgia-Pacific makes DensArmor Plus, a gypsum panel faced with fiberglass mat instead of paper, designed to resist moisture and mold. Paper-faced drywall can hold dampness, which can lead to mildew, so glass-mat panels are popular for areas that may get wet or humid, such as basements, laundry rooms, garages and some bath areas. In Nashville, where humidity runs high in summer, moisture-aware board is worth discussing early.
We are an independent contractor and use the board that suits the room and your builder's plan. For damp areas, we discuss moisture-resistant and glass-mat board, tape and finish with compatible compounds and prime and paint with washable finishes. We also say plainly that no board fixes a leak or moisture problem, so the source of dampness must be handled first.
