In this special Today’s Homeowner Podcast, we’re discussing drywall with Matt Gallagher, the Product Manager of Gypsum Systems.
When renovating or building a home, you tend to think about the finished product — what you see once the project is complete. But what’s inside your walls is just as important as the paint color and fixtures.
So, don’t overlook those all-important foundational elements of your home.
And remember: Not all drywall is created equal. Different areas of your home require different types of drywall. In this podcast, we’ll break down the best types of drywall for each area of your home.
XP Gypsum Board
If you’re looking for extra protection against mold and mildew, consider Gold Bond XP Gypsum Board. This drywall can be used in any room, but it’s especially useful in high-moisture areas like your bathroom.
That’s because Gold Bond’s core and paper are specially designed to fight the effects of moisture before any damage can occur.
High-Impact Gypsum Board
Let’s face it, in high-traffic areas like garages and hallways it’s easy to bump into the wall when moving items throughout your home.
Gold Bond XP Hi-Impact Gypsum Board resists impact because it has fiberglass mesh embedded into its core. Plus, it’s scratch- and scuff-resistant.
Soundbreak XP
With more people working from home, Gold Bond Soundbreak XP Board is in demand.
However, this noise-reducing drywall isn’t just for people who need privacy for productivity.
With its gel membrane, you can reduce the washing machine and dryer noise, and reduce disturbance for the rest of the house.
Soundbreak XP Wallboard features GridMarX guide marks on the board to allow for faster and more accurate installation, which saves you time and money.
Best of all, you don’t need to be in the middle of a home renovation to get this sound-reduction technology.
With Gold Bond SoundBreak Retrofit XP Board, you can turn a standard wall into a SoundBreak wall without having to remove any panels — it can be installed over an existing wall.
