Drywall & Steel Studs
Drywall & Steel Studs
Drywall, also known as wallboard, plasterboard or gypsum board, is a cost-effective building material used specifically to make interior and exterior structural walls and ceilings. Drywall was introduced to the building products market as a more efficient and effective means of building walls when compared to the historic, labor intensive practice of applying brick and plaster.
Tsifti D. & Co offers many types of drywall, including firecode-rated, mold-resistant, and sound-proofing products. We also have the cement backing boards, steel studs, tracks, channels, and beads you’ll need for successful drywall installation. We will order specialty sizes and framing supplies when required for your job.
Drywall Boards
Standard or Regular Drywall
Standard drywall is the most commonly used material and is characterized by a white surface on both sides.
Mold and Moisture Resistant Drywall
Moisture resistant drywall has a greater level of moisture resistance when compared to standard drywall and used to be called “green board” because there was a green coating which faced the room. This material is typically used in rooms or areas with a greater exposure level to moisture, i.e. bathrooms, basements, kitchens and laundry rooms. Mold resistant drywall has an even higher moisture resistance level than moisture resistant drywall and is designed for use in rooms or areas that may get wet.
Soundproof Drywall
In today’s construction environment, we are seeing a lot more specifications calling for sound-dampening or soundproof drywall to be installed. While acoustic drywall demands a premium price, if it’s installed correctly the performance is much better than double-layering drywall panels. Higher Sound Transmission Class (STC) numbers mean better sound-proofing. It’s important to note that STC ratings are not for single panels, but rather a rating for installing an entire wall system correctly…including the wall and ceiling surfaces. This means dual-layer soundproofing wallboard, framing studs, and insulation. While soundproof drywall panels are all inherently better than standard drywall at resisting sound transmission, it is not until these panels are integrated into a complete wall system that the true benefit is enjoyed.
Fire Resistant Drywall
Fire resistant drywall or Type X drywall is designed for use in apartments, garages and rooms to delay the spread of fire. It is constructed with special non-combustible materials and is usually required to be 5/8” thick. Is often required by specific building codes and must have a fire rating of no-less than 1-hour for the 5/8” material. Other thicknesses of fire-resistant drywall have different fire-rating requirements.
Cement Boards
Cement board is an innovative way of constructing exterior walls and facades. It is recommended for outdoor use or applications that require particular resistance to moisture.
