PLANSketchA little planning before the job begins can save you a lotof time and materials later on. Sketch out the area you want to cover with DensArmorPlus panels. Use the sketch as a guide to d eterminehow much drywall you’ll need. Remember to plan for the board to be installed across(perpendicular to) joists and/or studs. Try to avoid end joints wherever possible. To do that,you may want to buy 128 (3658 mm) instead of 88(2438 mm) board, depending on your room size. If end joints can’t be avoided, stagger them so they alldon’t fall at one end of the room.Your DensArmor Plus panels should be stored flat, indoors,and away from moisture and temperature extremes,until you’re ready to use it. As soon as possible afterjoint treatment is thoroughly dry, all surfaces should besealed or primed.EstimateOnce you’ve determined how much DensArmor Pluspanels you’ll need, you can use the following charts toestimate for nails, joint compound and tape.Room Measurement Table*(in. sq. ft. of wall and ceiling 40672704736768Panel Coverage Table (in sq. ft. of wall area)1Panel4* x 8* Panel324* x 9* Panel364* x 10* Panel404* x 12* Panel484* x 14* Panel564* x 16* Panel642Panels64728096112128Note: If you’re applying drywall to masonry walls,see ‘‘Masonry’’ section for additional anning, Applying, Installing, Finishingand Repairing Your Walls and Ceilings.6Panels19221624028833638448(*How Much Board Do You Need?First, figure out the wall and ceiling areas:48(Ceiling area Width of the room x Length of the roomWall area (Width Length) x 2 x Height of the roomFor example, a 128 (3658 mm) x 168 (4877 mm) x 88 (2438 mm)room has a wall/ceiling area of 640 sq. ft.

Drywall knife with heavy-duty blade2. Drywall hammer or regular crown-headedcarpenter’s claw hammer3. 48 T-square or steel straightedge4. Steel tape measure5. Keyhole or utility saw6. Joint finishing knives— 59 (127 mm) and109 (254 mm) blades7. Plastic pan for joint compound8. Sandpaper, medium texture (80 to 100 grit) andsanding block for joint finishing9. Damp sponge10. Pencil11. Safety glasses12. Dust mask13. Protective glovesFollow these standard work practices: Wear a loose-fitting,long-sleeved shirt and long pants, protective gloves andeye protection (goggles or safety glasses with side shields).Wear a dust mask or NIOSH/MSHA approved respiratoras appropriate when sanding. Additional protection maybe needed when very dusty. For additional productsafety and use information, including MSDS, go towww.buildgp.com/safetyinfo.Caution: When working with tools, alwayswear approved safety glasses.Receptacle Openings, Etc.Carefully measure openings for receptacles, switches, etc.from the edge and end of the board, and mark guidelineson the face. Use a keyhole saw to cut the openings. Makesure your measurements and cuts are accurate, or thecover plate you install later on will not conceal the hole.InstallationDensArmor Plus panels are installed in a similar mannerto traditional paper-faced drywall. DensArmor Plus panelsshould be installed according to the most current versionsof Gypsum Association Publication GA-216 “Applicationand Finishing of Gypsum Panel Products” and ASTM C840–“Standard Specification for Application and Finishingof Gypsum Board for Non-Fire Rated Construction.” Forbest results, abut DensArmor Plus panels against regularpaper-faced wallboard only at inside or outside corners toeliminate transitions in the field of a wall or ceiling. Adjustfastening tools to insure that the fasteners are not overdriven through the face of the board. Nails and screwsshould be driven with the heads slightly below the surfaceof the panel.CeilingsFor ceilings, always use nailsor screws (mechanical attachment). Nails should be spacedat 79 (178 mm) intervals andscrews at 129 (305 mm) intervals, around the edges (about3 89 [9.5 mm] from the edge),and through the center of theboards. Make sure you hit thecenter of the ceiling joists. Forjoists that are 169 (406 mm) o.c., 1 29 (12.7 mm) or5 89 (15.9 mm) DensArmor Plus panels may be applied.PAGE2 of 8
29 (12.7 mm) DensArmor Plus may be applied to 249(610 mm) o.c. joists as long as it is installed across orper pendicular to ceiling joists as shown.All nails should be “dimpled”. That is, drive the nails firmenough to indent the board’s facer without tearing it. It’sbest to install board on the ceiling before installing boardon the wall.It also helps to have a pair of T-braces to help hold theboard in place while it’s being nailed. A good T-brace canbe made by nailing a 28 (610 mm) piece of 19 x 49 (25 mmx 102 mm) onto the end of a 29 x 49 (51 mm x 102 mm).Install boards across (perpendicular to) ceiling joists.WallsNail the board around the edges(about 3 89 [9.5 mm] from theedge), and along each end.Space fasteners at 89 (203 mm)intervals at the ends, edgesand field of the panel. Fastenersshould be driven so that theheads are slightly below thesurface.Many professionals prefer screws to nails for theirextremely strong holding power. For screw application,use only drywall screws.Install boards horizontally or vertically, running across thewall studs.MasonryIf you’re installing gypsumInsulationboard on a masonry wall,first cut 19 x 29 (25 mm x51 mm) or 29 x 29 (51 mmx 51 mm) furring strips toreach from the floor to the16( o.c.ceiling. 519 x 519 (25 mmx 51 mm) strips are good ifyou plan to back your drywall with insulation.) Cut enoughstrips to go around the room when nailed vertically on169 (406 mm) centers. Nail the strips on the walls, 169(406 mm) o.c., using masonry nails. (Check with yourhome supply dealer for the proper nails for your kind ofmasonry wall.) When the furring strips are up, rigid foamboard insulation and fiberglass insulation can be cut andplaced between strips. Then treat the furring as youwould ordinary wall studs, using the application methodsdescribed in the “Walls” section.FinishingThe finishing and sanding of DensArmor Plus panelsshould be performed in accordance with the most currentversion of Gypsum Association Publication GA-214-07“Recommended Levels of Gypsum Board Finish.”DensArmor Plus panels may be finished with eitherpaper tape embedded with all purpose joint compoundor with fiberglass mesh tape and setting compound.Because of the enhanced p roperties of DensArmor PlusInterior Panels, drying times for the joint and settingcompounds may vary slightly. It is essential to alloweach coat of compound to dry t horoughly before applyingadditional coats of compound. Care should be taken toensure that all joints and fasteners are properly andadequately sanded to provide a smooth transitionbetween the compound and the face of the board.WALLWORKSGUIDE1Option 1 — Paper TapeJointsFinish the joints in four steps. First, apply a coat of jointcompound to the joints. Then, immediately imbed papertape in the joint compound, smooth out bubbles andallow to dry. Next, apply two successive finish coatsover the tape and allow to drybetween coats. Sand when dry.BeddingWith your 59 (127 mm) joint finishingknife, apply a smooth, full, even coatof joint compound into the recesscreated by the tapered edges ofadjoining boards.Center a strip of paper tape over the joint, and press itfirmly into the wet bedding compound with your drywallknife at a 45 angle. Press hard enough to squeeze a littlecompound out from the edge of the tape, but leave enoughcompound for a good bond. Let dry about 24 hours.Taping and FinishingWhen the taped bedding coat is dry, apply your firstfinish coat of all-purpose joint compound. Extend thiscoat a few inches beyond the tape, and feather theedges. Let dry about 24 hours. Then apply a secondfinish coat with your 109 (254 mm) joint finishing knife.Extend this coat 11 29 (38 mm) wider than the first finishcoat. Wait 24 hours, and sand lightly with your sandingblock and medium grit sandpaper. Don’t sand downto the tape. Wipe off dust with a damp sponge.CornerbeadTo protect outside corners from edge damage, installcornerbeads after you’ve installed the drywall. Nail thecornerbead every 59 (127 mm) through the gypsumboard, into the wood framing.PAGE3 of 8
To further reduce the potential for mold growth andmaintain a completely non paper-faced wall surface,fiberglass joint tape should be used to finish the joints ofDensArmor Plus panels. A setting-type compound isrequired for at least the first coat over fiberglass meshtape. Additional coats prescribed by the desired level of finish should be a drying-type (powder or ready-mixed)joint compound. Inside corners may be finished with vinylcorner beads to maintain a non paper-faced wall.For either tape option, continue with installation.Fastener HeadsDraw your 59 (127 mm) joint finishing knife across thefastener head to make sure it is below the surface of theboard. Apply your first coat of all-purpose joint compoundso that it just fills the nail dimple. Don’t use excess pressurewhen applying, or your knife may scoop compound fromthe dimple. Let the first coat dry. At least one more coatwill be required. A third coat of joint compound may beneeded. Sand lightly after each coat dries.Butt JointsButt joints (square cut edge joints)are finished the same way asregular joints, with one exception.Because butt joints are nottapered, you need to be carefulnot to allow the joint compoundand tape to build up any morethan necessary. To reduce theeffect of the build-up, feather theedges of your finish coats widerthan you would for a regular joint.Outside CornersBe sure the metal cornerbead is attached firmly (see‘‘Cornerbead’’ in previous section). Use your 89 (203 mm)knife to spread all-purpose joint compound about 39-49(76-102 mm) past metal corner. Be sure to cover themetal edges. Let dry 24 hours. Apply second coat withyour 109 (254 mm) knife. Feather edges 29-39 (51-76 mm)beyond first coat. Sand lightly when dry. A third coat maybe needed.Inside CornersCut a strip of drywall tape the length of the corner you’regoing to finish. Crease the tape down the center. Useyour 59 (127 mm) knife to spread joint compound about11 29 (38 mm) on both sides of the corner. With the knifepress the tape into the corner. Use enough pressure tosqueeze some compound from the edge of the tape, butleave enough compound to form a good bond. Featherthe compound 29 (51 mm) from the edge of the tape. Letdry 24 hours, finishing only one side at a time. Let dry,finish other side of corner. Let dry, then sand corner.Be careful not to let the compound build up in the verycorner of the tape. Excess compound in the cornercould cause hairline cracks.Now you’re ready to primeand paint!PLEASE NOTE that Georgia-Pacific Gypsum makes nowarranty regarding the primers and surfacers identified inthe following section or the finishing results obtained bysuch products. As indicated, a mock-up or test wall shouldbe used to ensure the proposed decorative finish willproduce an acceptable result.

Proper installation, finishing and priming arecritical. Skipping a step, such as the application of aprimer or taking shortcuts, such as not using propersanding techniques, will negatively impact the qualityof the final decorative finish.Because many factors that are unrelated to the manufactureof the panels can affect the acceptability of the final finishresult, Georgia-Pacific Gypsum makes no warranty, expressor implied, regarding the finish results to be achieved withDensArmor Plus panels.The following guidelines for priming DensArmor PlusInterior Panels have been developed by the Rohm & HassPaint Quality Institute:1. A high solids primer with at least 40% volume solidsshould be used. The primer can best be applied by rollerat a higher film thickness in one coat vs. brush or sprayapplied.2. For adequate coverage, the primer should be applied toa dry film thickness of 1.7 to 1.8 mils dry to ensure uniform coverage and appearance. The number of coats toachieve the dry film thickness will depend on the primerused.
