Georgia-Pacific Introduces DensElement™ Barrier System Project Map

ATLANTA (September 05, 2017) – Georgia-Pacific is proud to introduce the DensElement™ Barrier System project map. This online interactive map identifies the location of projects using DensElement™, in addition to each project’s architect and general contractor.

The DensElement™ Barrier System project map showcases the growing number of jobsites adopting DensElement™ Barrier System as their preferred sheathing solution across the U.S. Using the Project Map, online visitors can explore projects by location, or project type (e.g. sports/recreation, education, healthcare, government/municipality, etc.

This new tool creates a visual way for architects, engineers, contractors and building owners to gain perspective on the accelerating adoption of DensElement™ Barrier System on high-profile projects across the country. “DensElement™ is an innovative proven solution progressive architects and contractors can rely on,” said Jason Peace, Senior Director of Marketing and Product Management for Georgia-Pacific Gypsum, “and we want to share the successes that these customers are experiencing.”

The DensElement™ Barrier System, with AquaKOR™ Technology, integrates the WRB-AB directly into its gypsum core, beneath the fiberglass mat to create a consistent, performance-tested WRB-AB. DensElement™ eliminates the need for building wrap, fluid-applied membranes or peel-and-stick membranes. It’s faster to install and can be installed when it’s wet outside– saving time and labor. The all-in-one Dens® brand system is finished with PROSOCO R-Guard® FastFlash® liquid flashing to fill and seal joints, fasteners, openings, penetrations and transitions. DensElement™ Barrier System is ABAA listed and WRB-AB approved, and has a customized MasterSpec® specification – 061656 Air and Water Resistive Sheathing Board.
