Mold-resistant gypsum boards (National Gypsum Gold Bond, USG Sheetrock Brand Purple, Georgia-Pacific DensArmor) use fiberglass facing instead of paper to eliminate the primary nutrient source for mold. They are the appropriate standard drywall replacement for any space with elevated humidity or moisture exposure.
Smooth specifies and installs mold-resistant board for basement living spaces, bathrooms, laundry rooms, and any below-grade or high-humidity application in Boston-area residential and commercial projects. Using mold-resistant board in susceptible locations is an inexpensive insurance policy against a common and costly problem.
Eliminates paper — the primary mold food source in standard gypsum board
Tested and listed for resistance to mold under ASTM D3273
No special tools or techniques required — installs identically to standard gypsum board
Only marginally more expensive than standard drywall — significant value compared to mold remediation costs
Source of moisture confirmed and addressed before installation — board alone cannot overcome active moisture problems.
Identical process to standard drywall — hang, tape, finish, paint.
