Drywall is a panel of a compressed composite, gypsum (calcium sulfate dihydrate) that is reinforced with additional fibers for enhanced durability and resistance to humidity, water, mold, sound, and/or fire. Other names for drywall are: plasterboard wallboard, gypsum panel, gypsum and Sheetrock. How to Choose the Right Type of Drywall? There are several types of drywall, each of which has been modified to withstand and resist specific external factors, like: humidity, water, moisture, mold and fire.

Types of Drywall Regular drywall – this drywall is white and available in many sizes from rather thin (1/4" or 6.5 mm) to thick (3/4" or 20 mm). Go to the drywall sizes and drywall thickness paragraph for more details. Greenboard drywall – you can recognize it by its green paper covering. The covering was augmented with water-repellent molecules. This type of drywall costs more but does not soften when exposed to humid conditions. It is a natural choice for rooms where there is a high moisture level, for example a kitchen. Aside from the different types of drywall, you can also find some drywall alternatives. Alternatives include tiles and cement board, commonly used in the bathroom. Not sure how much drywall you need? Our Drywall Calculator can help.
