Thanks a lot, . I am thinking of avoiding wood structure even for the

interior walls and if this drywall is completely moldfree (resistant), then this

would be really good as the plaster can be very expensive as it is labor

intensive.

We are atleast 9 months away from starting construction, but I am just

researching so I am well informed of the products out there.

Thanks

Thanks, KC. Building a 'green home' is so expensive !

I thought I could avoid plaster due to the cost. Guess not !

Thanks

Jay,

In my opinion it is a better product, but it's not the answer. The

reason being the ends are still not sealed and every time it has to

be cut they are left unsealed and it is still filled with the same

material as regular sheetrock, gypsum. From what I have read this is

where the spores are. Anything that comes from deep within the earth

will carry or accumulate spores. The only thing they need now is

water. But removing the paper does help alot. I feel any new

construction none of these mold producing products should be close

to the ground/floors and I would really like to see a different

product used that is mold resistant from the floor level to at least

6 " high, in case of water damage/flooding.

Just a thought,

KC

This paperless technology has been around for about 20 years. It does not

have the same core as typical drywall. Normal drywall has different organic

" fillers " to reduce weight and costs. DensArmorPlus has removed as many of

these fillers as possible and also has a silcone enhanced core to reduce

moisture absorbstion. It has been tested for mold growth and performs very

well. I have seen it used in unconditioned air spaces - like garages,

sprinkler control rooms, basesment remodels and it works. Visit

www.gp.com/gypsum or www.densarmorplus.com for a list of stocking dealers in

your area. If I was building a house I would use in all of the house. Most

of the leaks aren't from flooding. Its from improper flashing details,

stopped gutters, overflowing toilets/dishwashers, and general improper

construction. Another good site is www.buildingsciences.com
