Why Choose DensElement Barrier

01

Fewer installation steps

DensElement consolidates sheathing and WRB/AB into a single step, eliminating inconsistent field application of separate wrap systems and reducing overall installation time.

02

Weather flexibility

Installable in wet weather conditions with superior moisture resistance, enabling faster dry-in and giving project managers greater scheduling flexibility on site.

03

Cladding versatility

Works with popular cladding choices across New Zealand. DensDefy Liquid Barrier supports multiple substrates, making DensElement suitable for a wide range of facade assemblies.

DensElement Barrier Overview

The future of the wall — today

The DensElement® Barrier System is a patented, premium water-resistive and air barrier (WRB-AB) system from Georgia-Pacific Building Products. It combines the trusted performance of the GOLD Dens® brand with AquaKor™ Technology to transform building envelope construction.

By integrating sheathing and air-barrier functionality into a single board, DensElement removes an entire step from the installation process — reducing labour, improving consistency, and enabling faster dry-in even in wet weather conditions.

Design simplicity

  • Eliminates separate WRB/AB requirements when sealed with DensDefy Liquid Flashing
  • Consolidates sheathing and air barrier into one product and one installation step
  • Reduces scope for inconsistent field application of wrap systems
  • Designed to work seamlessly with DensDefy Liquid Barrier across multiple substrates

Performance on site

  • Installable in wet weather — improves moisture resistance while enabling faster dry-in
  • Resists normal weather conditions and prevents uncontrolled air movement
  • Backed by BPIR certification for both DensElement and DensDefy products
  • Engineers Judgement Report (June 2024) available for specification support
