Construction Scheduling Benefits

Using moisture-resistant Dens Brand products can help avoid construction delays due to wet or humid weather. DensGlass® sheathing carries a limited warranty for exposure to normal weather conditions during construction. Crews can install DensArmor Plus® interior panels and DensGlass® Shaftliner before dry-in, allowing installation of some mechanical systems to begin as well, often saving time in the process.

• Greater flexibility in scheduling and coordinating crews
• Ability to keep construction moving can create a hedge against costly delays due to bad weather
• Lower risk of remediation due to moisture damage during construction
