Georgia-Pacific Debuts Five New Products at the 2006 Remodeling Show New products offer building solutions including mold resistance, moisture resistance and durability

    Atlanta, GA. October 19, 2006 -- Today through Saturday at the 2006 Remodeling Show at Chicago's Lakeside Center, Georgia-Pacific is showcasing its suite of products designed to help remodelers offer the best building solutions to its customers. In its dynamic, contemporary-style exhibit, visitors to Georgia-Pacific Booth #1235 will experience more products from the Company than ever before at this show.

    Plytanium DryPly Plywood sub-flooring has a water repellent coating.

    New Products:

    • Plytanium® DryPly™ Plywood - Sub-flooring with a water repellent coating to provide weather protection during the normal exposed construction cycle.

    • Plytanium® Primer/Sealer Siding - Durable plywood siding for homes, utility buildings and other outdoor projects. The siding comes pre-primed and with a sealer for weather protection and is available with a v-shaped groove.

    • 1/4 " High Density DensShield® Tile Backer - With a compression rating greater than 1500 psi, this moisture- and mold-resistant backer board has the strength to ensure that tile floors maintain their integrity over time. Designed with a built-in moisture barrier to provide optimum moisture- and mold- protection, DensShield is also lighter and easier to install than cement board type backer boards.

    • PrimeBead™ Engineered Wood Panels - Primed and ready to paint, these bead-board panels are perfect for interior and weather-protected areas where durability and ease of installation are important. The panels come in two sizes, 4'x 8' and 48" x 32", and are available in smooth, cedar and rough sawn textures.

    • DensArmor® Paperless Interior Drywall - This new generation drywall is mold-resistant because it's paperless. The substitution of glass-mat facings for paper facings found on traditional drywall removes a potential food source for mold development. DensArmor is designed as a replacement for traditional drywall in residential interiors

    Building the Moisture Resistant Bathroom Clinic Just across the aisle from the Georgia-Pacific exhibit, visitors can stop by the "How-To" Installation Clinics sponsored by the Company -- "Building the Moisture Resistant Bathroom." Presented by Bill Robinson, a 30 year veteran in the construction industry, the three clinics will address how to prepare floors for tile using DensShield® Tile Backer, how to install tile and how easy it is to install DensArmor® paperless drywall, which is designed for use through the home.
