How do I choose the right drywall?

Drywall is a popular building material made from gypsum that is used to form the flat surfaces of walls and ceilings in most modern homes. Also known as wallboard, plasterboard, gypsum board, or Sheetrock (a popular brand name by U.S. Gypsum Corporation), drywall is a convenient alternative to plaster. Depending on the place it will be installed, there are several different types of drywall that you can choose from. There is also an ECO board made from recycled material to create drywall that looks like concrete.

One important advantage that drywall offers is the presence of tapered edges on the long sides of drywall sheets. When joined together, these edges form a shallow recess for drywall tape and joint compound that allows for invisible finished joints. The different drywall options are often known by their color, and it's important to choose the right type for your project.

Most types of drywall are constructed out of gypsum, which is then sandwiched between two sheets of thick paper. Special coatings and additives can be included to make the drywall soundproof, fireproof, rot-resistant, moisture-resistant, or mold-resistant.

Types of Drywall

Use mold-resistant and moisture-resistant drywall in moisture-prone areas. Also known as purple board, these panels  have a special coating that deters moisture and helps prevent the growth of mold. 

While not waterproof, they can handle limited exposure to water and are an excellent choice for humid environments such as bathrooms, kitchens and laundry rooms. For example, you can use this type around toilets and sinks. 

You can also use these panels for tile backerboard in some dry spaces.
