Product type
Moisture resistant gypsum boards, also known as green boards, are specially designed building materials that provide enhanced resistance to moisture compared to standard gypsum boards. They are made from a core of gypsum encased in a moisture-resistant paper or fiberglass mat, which helps to prevent mold and mildew growth in humid environments. These boards are typically used in areas prone to moisture, such as bathrooms, kitchens, and basements.
| Thickness | 1/2 inch to 5/8 inch |
| Standard sizes | 4 feet by 8 feet to 4 feet by 12 feet |
| Weight | Approx. 2.2 to 3.2 lbs per square foot |
| Fire rating | Class A fire rating |
| Edge type | Square or tapered edges |
When selecting moisture resistant gypsum boards, consider the thickness and size that best fits your project requirements. It's important to specify the edge type based on installation needs, as tapered edges are often used for joints and finishing. Additionally, inquire about fire ratings and any relevant certifications, especially if the boards will be used in commercial applications. Always confirm the quantity needed for your project to ensure proper coverage and minimize waste.
