Both versatile and affordable, regular/non-fire-rated drywall is a popular choice for both commercial and residential projects. For more specialized rooms, other types of gypsum wallboard may be a better option.
Commonly required by building codes for certain structures, fire-rated drywall — also known as Type X drywall — has a one-hour fire rating, which enables occupants to safely evacuate a building during a fire. It is typically used in multi-family residential buildings, commercial staircases, elevator shafts and garages.
Contractors prefer moisture- and mold-resistant drywall for rooms prone to moisture, such as basements and kitchens. A fiberglass coating replaces the standard paper covering, enhancing the mold-resistant properties of M-BLOC® and M-GLASS® gypsum boards.
