Introduced to the market nearly 25 years ago, DensDeck® Roof Boards have become the number one architecturally specified fiberglass mat gypsum roof cover boards. They have gained favor among architects, consultants and contractors because of their broad approach to durability and impressive track record – billions of square feet of board have been used on thousands of projects over the years.
The challenge of defining a sustainable roof is similar to the task of blind men describing an elephant. One man mistakes a massive leg for a pillar, another perceives the trunk to be a snake, while others mistake ears for giant fans and tusks for pointed spears. And just as each individual perception fails to grasp the grandeur of the entire elephant, first impressions about sustainable roofing tend to fall short of revealing the true potential of the world’s rooftops.
Georgia-Pacific Gypsum recognized the need to isolate noise and conducted a series of sound isolation tests on roofing assemblies incorporating DensDeck® Roof Boards, at independent acoustic labs to document the performance of the assemblies. The results were impressive and can provide building owners several solutions to help control the problem of noise intrusion in their buildings.
The 52-story Georgia-Pacific Center is a landmark on the Atlanta skyline. Built in 1982, co-owned by MetLife and managed by Jones Lang LaSalle, the building features a distinctive stair-step shape, pink granite exterior and has recently been remodeled inside.

A roof is a big investment, and it protects an even bigger investment in the building and its contents. That's why durability in any roofing system translates directly into lower total cost of ownership. Durability is more than just toughness. It's also the ability to protect contents and occupants from fire, water and noise. Several forces challenge roof-system durability, including fire, moisture exposure, sound intrusion, impact from hail and foot traffic, and wind uplift. Properly chosen cover boards can help reduce the effects of all these forces.
Georgia-Pacific sponsors free, online AIA registered programs for architects through course provider, AEC Daily corporation. AIA-member architects can earn Health Safety Welfare (HSW) continuing education credits for successfully completing these programs. Non-members can also take the online courses for CEU credit. At present, all states that require continuing education accept the AIA courses for the MCE state requirements.
Our Tool Box is a collection of utilities and information designed to support you as you specify, select, and install Georgia-Pacific Gypsum products. From calculating materials and resource information used to apply for LEED® points, to using Georgia-Pacific's gypsum products within your current design software and systems, our tools help you make decisions and increase efficiency.
Architects using AutoDesk® Revit® Architecture and compatible applications can create wall assemblies "to spec" with Georgia-Pacific Gypsum products – and include other systems from the growing collection of design elements. Export these objects for your existing Revit projects and generate data in CSI MasterSpec® format. For an even more robust experience, install the Revit Plug-In and begin importing your own projects into the Design Studio.
Use these tools to create a report for LEED® Materials and Resource Credits MR4 Recycled Content and MR5 Regional Materials for your projects in the United States using Georgia-Pacific Gypsum products.
