    EXTERIOR SHEATHING

    Anti-Mold & Moisture

    Help protect your build from the elements and mold & moisture with GLAS-POWERED™ veils. Engineered for durability to help defend against fire, rain and UV, while offering excellent dimensional stability in handling, and processing, while offering great aesthetics to highlight your brand.

    SHAFT LINER & FIRE BOARDS

    Flame & Smoke Protection

    Build safer with GLAS-POWERED™ veils: engineered to increase your peace of mind through a flame retardant veil technology that stands as the first line of defense against flame spread, while also offering mold & mildew protection. Made for gypsum shaft liners & fire boards.

    WET ROOMS & TILE BACKER

    Anti-Mold & Moisture

    GLAS-POWERED™ veils enable you to build against mold & mildew in high-moisture wet rooms; and to build faster with GLAS-POWERED™ veils in pre-rock applications.

    INTERIOR WALLBOARDS & PRE-ROCK

    Anti-Mold & Mildew

    Build a more durable interior with GLAS-POWERED™ veils: engineered to have better strength and mold resistance than paper alternatives, and better surface aesthetics than other glass-faced boards. Recommended especially for use in pre-rock applications where interior walls may be exposed to the elements prior to building enclosure.
