How Can You Combat Guyana’s Humidity with Moisture-Resistant Gypsum Board and Cement Board?

Jan 20, 2026

Building in Guyana's rainforest climate is tough because humidity destroys standard materials fast. If you choose the wrong board, you will face mold and costly repairs very quickly. To fight humidity, use moisture-resistant gypsum board for interiors and cement board for exteriors. These materials repel water, prevent mold, and stop sagging. They ensure your building […]

What is Recycled Plasterboard Used For?

Jan 19, 2026

Recycled plasterboard is used for manufacturing new gypsum products, agricultural soil amendment, cement production as a setting retarder, paper manufacturing, and road base construction, with the gypsum content being processed into calcium sulfate dihydrate for reuse in various industrial applications. Manufacturing new plasterboard represents the primary application where recycled gypsum becomes raw material for fresh […]

Should I Use Square Edge or Tapered Edge Plasterboard?

Jan 16, 2026

Use tapered edge plasterboard for most applications requiring smooth wall finishes, as the recessed edges accommodate joint tape and compound for invisible seams, while square edge boards work best for temporary installations, backing layers, or ceilings where joints won't be finished with compound. Tapered edge design creates recessed channels at board joints allowing tape and […]

Is Gypsum Board Sustainable?

Jan 15, 2026

Yes, gypsum board is highly sustainable due to its natural gypsum content, use of recycled materials (including post-consumer and industrial waste), low energy manufacturing process, and high recyclability rate of 90%+ at end-of-life, making it one of the most environmentally responsible building materials available. Natural gypsum is abundant mineral resource requiring minimal processing energy compared […]

How is Gypsum Board Priced Per Sheet or Sq Ft?

Jan 14, 2026

Gypsum board is commonly priced both per sheet and per square foot, with sheet pricing ranging $8-25 depending on size and type, while square foot pricing ranges $0.50-2.50, with contractors and retailers often preferring different methods based on project scale and customer needs. Sheet pricing dominates retail sales with 4×8 sheets costing $8-15 for standard […]

How Thick is Acoustic Plasterboard?

Jan 13, 2026

Acoustic plasterboard typically ranges from 12.5-15mm (0.5-0.6 inches) thickness, featuring high-density gypsum cores and specialized additives that enhance sound transmission loss compared to standard 9.5-12.5mm plasterboard while maintaining workability and structural performance. Standard acoustic plasterboard measures 12.5mm thickness with high-density gypsum core providing enhanced mass for sound attenuation properties. Premium acoustic versions reach 15mm featuring […]

What is Eco Smart Drywall?

Jan 12, 2026

EcoSmart drywall is an environmentally sustainable gypsum wallboard featuring recycled content, low VOC emissions, reduced carbon footprint manufacturing, and enhanced moisture resistance while maintaining traditional drywall performance characteristics for green building applications. As a next-generation gypsum board and plasterboard drywall technology, it’s ideal for modern ceiling solutions and construccion en seco projects. EcoSmart drywall contains […]

How to Make PVC Gypsum Ceiling Tiles Waterproof?

Jan 09, 2026

PVC gypsum ceiling tiles and PVC aluminum foil ceiling systems achieve waterproofing through surface sealing, installation with moisture barriers, joint treatment using waterproof sealants, and integration with ventilation systems for comprehensive moisture and humidity management. These principles apply similarly to gypsum ceiling panels and gypsum ceiling installations where controlled moisture resistance and long-term durability are […]

Does Plasterboard Emit VOCs?

Jan 08, 2026

High-quality plasterboard and drywall products emit minimal VOCs, typically below 0.5 mg/m³, with primary emissions coming from paper facing adhesives and manufacturing additives rather than the gypsum core itself. Experienced plasterboard suppliers routinely test emission levels to ensure compliance with environmental standards. Standard gypsum plasterboard and plaster board drywall contain natural gypsum and paper facing with […]
