Georgia-Pacific Building Products
Georgia-Pacific offers solutions for everything from commercial roofing and building envelopes to interior walls and ceilings. Our products are engineered for high performance and long-term durability.
We manufacture a variety of building products such as gypsum boards, plywood, OSB panels and lumber for residential and commercial projects.
The portfolio of DensDeck® Roof Board products features four high-performance roofing solutions: DensDeck® Roof Board, DensDeck® Prime Roof Board, DensDeck® StormX® Prime Roof Board and DensDeck® ProFast™ Prime Roof Board.
This line of roof boards delivers trusted strength to help your commercial roofing systems resist fire, wind, puncture and hail.
Meet Our Newest Innovation: DensDeck® ProFast™ Prime Roof Board.
Smoother installs start with our latest cover board, DensDeck® ProFast™ Prime Roof Board. It’s specifically engineered to streamline installations of partially adhered roof systems, helping to optimize timelines and improve margins.
This innovative new product helps you complete your jobs faster without compromising strength or durability. It weighs 20% less and requires 25%–75% fewer fasteners and plates than 1/2" DensDeck® Prime Roof Board while delivering the same resilience.
DensDeck® ProFast™ Prime Roof Board can help your roof withstand repeated foot traffic and unpredictable weather while adding a layer of fire resistance to the roof assembly. Plus, a compressive strength of 880 psi helps it resist punctures and support the weight of rooftop equipment.

Discover DensDeck® Roof Board
Installing the right materials for your low-slope commercial roofs can provide a solid defense against the most common forms of damage and wear. Georgia-Pacific offers four gypsum roof boards based on design intent.
In 1987, we introduced DensDeck® Roof Board—the first glass-mat gypsum roof board with strong impact resistance and a non-combustible gypsum core. Next came DensDeck® Prime Roof Board, the first-ever coated glass-mat gypsum roof board for improved adhesive coverage.
Then, DensDeck® StormX® Prime Roof Board was designed with enhanced hail and wind-uplift resistance to help protect against extreme weather conditions. It’s the first gypsum cover board to be FM classified for very severe hail (VSH) on approved single-ply assemblies.
And finally, our newest innovation, DensDeck® ProFast™ Prime Roof Board, was created as a more efficient solution to help speed up installs. Its lightweight design allows for easier handling so crews can move faster, all while delivering the same strength and durability you expect from DensDeck® Roof Board.
The Four Dimensions of Roof Protection
DensDeck® Roof Boards help protect against some of the most common risk factors for rooftop damage:
• Fire
• Wind
• Puncture
• Hail
Fire
The solid gypsum core in DensDeck® Roof Boards is made of 21% crystallized water, which helps to inhibit the burning process and reduce a fire’s escalation. The addition of fiberglass mat facers also helps to slow the spread of flames and smoke.
Wind
DensDeck® Roof Boards are engineered to help mitigate wind uplift by adding strength to the roof assembly, giving the membrane support and providing a superior bonding surface. Gypsum cover boards also ratchet up your roof assembly’s protection barrier by giving it an added layer of durability.
Puncture
Adding an impact-absorbing layer to your roofing system can help prevent puncture damage from foot traffic, rooftop installs, hail and more. DensDeck® Roof Boards are intended to be applied directly under roof membrane systems to add structural support as well as dramatically reduce damage.
Hail
Several factors influence the design and construction of roofs, especially a region’s climate. Hail and the rising threat of severe weather events have made it more important than ever to use materials that add strength and resiliency to your roofing systems.
Get all the facts on severe hail and find out the best way to reinforce your roofs in our comprehensive eBook, Design for Extreme Weather: Why You Should Specify a Resilient Roof System.
Stop Callbacks and Prepare for the Future
Returning to a job site to fix damage that could have been prevented is always a source of frustration. Using a durable cover board can help you avoid rooftop damage during construction—so your crews can stay busy working on new jobs instead of dealing with costly callbacks.
And although your roofs may start off with minimal equipment, you can’t know what they will look like in the future. HVAC installations and maintenance can be tough on a roof, while solar panels may increase the risk of fire. Green roofs also call for versatile roofing systems with a rigid substrate to handle the load. Any type of weight-bearing rooftop installation calls for strength and versatility.
When you use gypsum roof boards, you can improve a building’s resiliency, protect the owner’s investment and reinforce your reputation for long-lasting, durable roof systems. DensDeck® Roof Boards offer a gypsum-tough solution for every commercial roof design.
