Top 3 Most Common Drywall Options<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Drywall<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Drywall is a construction material made from thin panels of gypsum board. It is used to construct walls and ceilings in residential and commercial structures. Drywall is also called wallboard, gypsum board, and plasterboard. It is called \u201cdrywall\u201d because water is not required to use it for wall and ceiling construction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gypsum Board<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Gypsum board<\/em> is a universal term used to describe a family of panel-type products that retain a non-combustible core. Gypsum comes from the Greek term, \u201cgypsos\u201d, meaning plaster. It is a naturally-occurring mineral found in sedimentary rock formations. To acquire it, gypsum must be mined. Millions of tons of gypsum are mined every year in North America, and most of it is to manufacture drywall products. Gypsum contains large amounts of water bound in crystalline form, making it less prone to combustion. These boards are layered with gypsum rock and specialty paper material.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chinese Drywall<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Chinese drywall is a term used to reference an environmental health situation involving defective drywall material manufactured in China and imported to the United States in 2001. Laboratory testing revealed that the defective drywall emitted sulfurous gasses, including carbon disulfide, carbonyl sulfide, and hydrogen sulfide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) began investigating the effects of Chinese drywall in 2009, and concluded that there are short-term health implications from exposure, including respiratory problems, asthma irritations, sore throats, chronic headaches, and more. Long-term exposure can have health implications like chronic fatigue, nausea, loss of appetite, dizziness, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
