Greenboard

Greenboard is another sort of wallboard, similar to drywall or blueboard. It looks similar, cuts as easily, and can be trimmed about as easily as the other two. What sets it apart is its resistance to moisture.

Green board, also called M-R board, is the next step above blueboard in moisture resistance. While it is not vitally important to have that extra protection, there are many areas where it is a good idea to use greenboard. In particular, areas that generally have a high amount of moisture in the air, such as wet basements or bathrooms, are good candidates for greenboard.

Greenboard will take plaster or paint without any problem. It still needs to have something done about the joints between sheets, just like its sibilngs.

We only stock greenboard in 1/2" thick sheets 4' x 8' in size.
