There is a specific type of drywall that is designed for these areas, and is commonly referred to by contractors as \u201cgreen board.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>What is green board?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Greenboard is a general term for drywall that is able to withstand high moisture or humidity levels. Although it is slowly being phased out in modern construction, you may still come across it.<\/p>\n<p>It is easier to install and cheaper than cement board alternatives. As the name implies, one side is green, this helps installers identify it and also helps with installation, as it helps installers identify which areas require more mud than others.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Is green board waterproof?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Greenboard is water-resistant, just not waterproof. It is extremely efficient in bathrooms and kitchens, where moisture rife, however, it is not the drywall that should be set behind tile in showers or any area that comes into direct contact with water.<\/p>\n<p>There are a few different options for drywall that will come in contact with water, including cement board.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How is green board hung?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Green board installation is similar to regular drywall installation:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Measure the area.<\/li>\n<li>Score your drywall according to your measurements. Once the drywall has been scored, bend the board and snap it along the scoreline. Then use a sharp utility knife to make a clean cut.<\/li>\n<li>Attach the drywall to your studs with either drywall screws or nails.<\/li>\n<li>Use drywall tape to cover the seams between the green board sheets.<\/li>\n<li>Apply mud to the taped areas and fill in the indents. Next, sand the drywall mud and either add more coats of mud or apply primer and paint.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If you want information on our <strong>drywall construction<\/strong> services and products, call McDermott Contracting today at (251) 215-8005, we are based in the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/g.page\/drywall-construction-mobile-al?share\">Mobile, AL<\/a><\/strong> area.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Is Green Drywall the Same as the Standard Version?
