One of the worst days was in March during a rapid thaw-freeze.

Over a seven-month period, it was pelted by 26 inches of rain, snow, hail and sleet and it withstood temperatures ranging from -13 Celsius to +34 Celsius. The contractor also put up 8,000 square feet of the ½ inch version of the product in the party walls and stud walls.
INSTALLING PAPERLESS DRYWALL PLUS
AKS installed 20,000 square feet of 5/8-inch fire-rated DensArmor Plus on the first floor of the building before the windows, doors, exterior walls or the roof was in place. Sommerfeld says the drywall proved to be even more durable than he expected. Normally, drywall goes in after the roof goes on, but the weather-resistant product changed that plan.

Last winter, the contractor installed 56,000 square feet of the drywall at a 68-unit condo project in Kitchener, much of it before the roof was completed. Locally, Kitchener-based AKS Interior Systems’ owner Randy Sommerfeld is singing the praises of Dens-Armor Plus from Georgia-Pacific Canada.
