By David McKinney 21 July, 2023 2 mins read

Drywall comes in many types. You can get drywall that is fire-resistant and water-resistant as well as fiberglass-coated varieties. Each type has different properties. Let's have a look at the most popular types. Then, choose the one that meets your needs the best. You can even select the one that works best in your climate.

The most common types of drywall

You can choose between different types if your project is new or remodelling an existing home. Some types provide more fire protection than others. Others are less likely to cause water damage. Every type of drywall comes with its own characteristics such as thickness and texture. Learn more about different types of wallpaper to find the best one for you.

Certain types are more resistant to moisture than others and should not be used in places that are subject to high humidity. Others are more standard and are a good choice for regular residential interior walls, such as basements. You have the option of choosing between sheets that are four-foot thick and others.

Fire-resistant drywall

There are many types and styles of drywall. However, only a few types are fire-resistant. Type X drywall is made of gypsum, with noncombustible fibers. It can withstand heat and fire up to an entire hour. These types can be used to install drywall in walls, staircases, or area separation firewalls.

Multi-story residential buildings and multi-family homes can choose fire-resistant type X wall drywall. This product is modified type X and contains more glass fibers and vermiculite to reduce shrinkage. It also improves panel strength.

Fiberglass-coated drywall

Fiberglass-coated drywall is a great option for homeowners looking for a smooth, mirror-like finish. This type of drywall is more expensive than regular drywall, but will last for much longer. However, it can cause skin or respiratory problems and irritation during installation. These problems can easily be addressed by wearing a facemask and suitable work gloves.

You can choose from many types of fiberglass-coated wall drywall. Some are better for bathrooms or basements, while others are more suitable for other areas. Blue board, which is commonly used for basements, can be an example. It still has an inner layer of gypsum, but the outer paper is specially treated to resist moisture and mold. It is not waterproof. For this reason, it is best to use it indoors. Other types of drywall use fiberglass mesh as outer layers. These types of drywall are both mold and moisture resistant and are suitable for use in damp, food-service areas.

Moisture-resistant drywall

Moisture-resistant type s gypsum drywall is an environmentally-friendly choice for your home. It resists mold, moisture, and mildew growth. These drywall products may be more expensive than regular, but they will make your home safer and help reduce the risk of serious health problems.

Gypsum panels are more resilient to high humidity than regular plaster and can also withstand fire. These products are great for high humidity areas like bathrooms. These products are also great for behind kitchen sinks or utility rooms. They are also a great base to non-absorbent finishes. They can be used in basements or garages.
