I used this in my new home, the core is not like reg drywall, it is

treated to resist mold and is more like plaster- I don't have a clue

if it will help, I just thought I would do everything possible to give

me some time to fix a leak- I used fiberglass insulation w/ the paper

on for the side walls- so there is paper in the walls- they would not

build without it, because of code restrictions. before they insulated,

I had all the wood sprayed with aegis anti-microbial-but i feel the

real problem is insulation-If there is a leak-it holds the water in

the wall-not letting it dry- i wish I had been able to settle on a

different type of insulation- but could not find anything else.

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

I would ask them what the core is- it says treated core- and it does

not look to me at all like gypsum

I did use the densmore fiberglass sheetrock in 2 locations- the back porch, and

the

basement bathroom rebuild. I DID react to the dust, it was a mold reaction, so I

am sure it

was from the mold in the dust. After I mopped with bleach water I was ok. It is

all done

now, it was cut about 1 inch off the floor, we then tiled 4 inches up the wall,

so hopefully

it will be ok.

It was easy to use, but heavy. The handy man liked it.

I want to avoid it next time, though.
