Off the Wall
Panels Help Keep Mold at Bay
Molds like to munch on paper. So one way to prevent mold is to remove that tasty snack from your walls.
DensArmor Plus paperless interior drywall is a mold-resistant interior gypsum panel featuring a glass-mat surface on both the front and back for interior protection from moisture.
For areas of high humidity, DensArmor Plus provides the added benefit of a moisture-resistant core. According to the manufacturer, the wallboard panels scored the highest level of performance for mold resistance under a standard test method, indicating no mold growth in a 4-week controlled laboratory test.
The paperless drywall panels cut and fasten like traditional gypsum drywall and carry a three-month in-place exposure warranty. They have received GreenGuard Indoor Air Quality Certifications, which recognize indoor products that have low emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOCs).
