Resistant drywall is a type of gypsum board that has been treated to resist moisture and mold. It is often used in areas that are prone to high levels of humidity, such as bathrooms, kitchens, and basements. Resistant drywall can also be used in exterior applications, such as soffits and eaves.
The normal moisture reading for drywall is between 5% and 15%. A moisture reading above 15% may indicate that there is a problem with the drywall. This could be due to a leak, flood, or high levels of humidity.
Resistant drywall is installed in the same way as regular drywall. However, there are a few things that you need to keep in mind.
Resistant drywall is a good choice for areas that are prone to high levels of humidity. It is also a good choice for exterior applications. However, it is more expensive than regular drywall and can be difficult to find. If you are considering using resistant drywall, be sure to consult with a qualified contractor.
