Dense Glass — Glass Mat Gypsum Board

Dense Glass (Georgia-Pacific DensGlass, USG Securock) is a glass mat-faced gypsum panel that eliminates paper facing entirely. The glass mat facing resists moisture penetration and does not support mold growth — making it the preferred substrate for wet areas, exterior sheathing, and high-humidity environments.

FAQ

DensGlass or cement board is recommended and often required by tile manufacturer warranties in wet areas. Standard drywall is not appropriate behind tile in showers or wet areas.
DensGlass is gypsum-based with glass mat facing — lighter and easier to cut, slightly less water resistant than cement board. Cement board is fully waterproof and preferred in the wettest applications.
