There are many advantages to planning a green construction project. These include being able to reduce your carbon footprint, having a positive impact on the environment, and reducing waste. Remember, green building techniques may be more expensive at the outset, but they tend to save money in the long run due to lower energy costs and reduced maintenance costs.
   Another key advantage of planning a green construction project is that it has a positive impact on the environment in general. It helps reduce energy consumption, thereby cutting utility bills. Living in a sustainable building reduces lifestyle expenses, cut down your utility bills, and also provides a healthy environment for your future generation.
  Using green, recyclable materials in construction helps keep your home in good repair and reduces the risk of damage to your house from natural disasters such as storms or flooding. It also increases the value of your property as an investment property. Green living will be helping the environment in general rather than just one project.Call Instart Drywall Contractors to fix your drywall in your house or an office.

 

Blue Board Drywall

Named for its outer coating of specially formulated blue paper, blue board drywall is a highly moisture-resistant form of drywall that’s best in bathrooms and basements. It still has the inner layer of gypsum, but the outer blue paper is specially treated for moisture resistance. However, it’s not waterproof, so blue board is designed only to be used indoors.
Fiberglass or Paperless Drywall
In recent years, developers have started making a new type of drywall that uses fiberglass mesh for the outer layers instead of paper. Fiberglass-coated drywall is both mold and moisture resistant.
Purple board drywall is not just moisture and mold resistant, it’s fire-resistant as well. The gypsum is fire and moisture resistant, and it’s sandwiched between mold and moisture resistant paper, and is usually 5/16-inch thick. This type of drywall is used for ceilings, walls that need moisture protection, but also for high traffic areas because it is dent and scratch-resistant. Purple board drywall will usually cost about 30% more than regular drywall.


  If you need drywall that’s fire-resistant, you’ve got a couple of choices to pick from.
Type X Drywall
Type X drywall has a fire-resistant gypsum center and two layers of paper, one regular and one liner-backed. This is a thicker board, at 5/8 inches, so it’s a little more difficult to cut through. But because it’s thick, it’s also good for dampening sound. Type X drywall has to pass a one-hour fire resistance test and is generally used in apartment buildings and garages.Instart Drywall Contractor is here to help you with your drywall needs.
Type C Drywall
Type C drywall matches Type X drywall in thickness, but more glass fibers are used in the gypsum core of Type C. Type C is basically an amped-up version of Type X, so it’s more fire-resistant than Type X. Type C is about 10% more expensive than Type X, but they’re not interchangeable. Type C is a better option for ceilings because it performs better when laid horizontally, while Type X does better vertically.We are always happy to help you with your drywall needs. Call us today!
