Drywall, also known as gypsum board or plasterboard, is a building material used for the construction of walls and ceilings.

Yes, drywall is a porous material. Once left outside or even covered in damp conditions, it’ll gain 50 percent of its weight moisture.

Drywall’s compounds like gypsum aren’t considered toxic, yet they can cause stomach distress and digestive tract problems. There are some reports of kids and pets eating a small amount of drywall and there aren’t any reports about serious injuries.
Drywall is fireproof, yet manufacturing processes like adding glass fibers can increase resistance. Drywall is fire resistant. It is composed of gypsum that is pressed between 2 sheets of thick paper. The gypsum is actually a soft mineral that isn’t flammable.
Breathing the dust from the joint compounds of drywall over time may cause persistent airway and throat irritation, phlegm production, coughing, and breathing difficulties that are same with asthma. Workers or smokers with respiratory conditions or sinus may risk worse health issues.
The drywall’s composition makes it hard to burn. While paper is flammable and burning would evaporate water, it takes high temperature to burn gypsum. Due to this, it isn’t possible to burn drywall completely outside of the industrial furnaces.
Green board drywall is not waterproof, but it is water-resistant. You can buy interior panels that match the thickness of water-resistant and regular drywalls that are made with sand and cement or a combination of sand, cement, and some ingredients.
Drywall is an air barrier, yet not a moisture barrier. In places with colder climates, vapor barriers must be installed between the insulation and drywall because interior tends to be humid than outdoors. OSB sheathing or plywood under the siding forms air barrier as well.
Mud could dry out, become unusable and moldy over time. The period of time it lasts has something to do with how you store it. The time that drywall compounds last is unpredictable since different factors can affect its shelf life. If you don’t need extra drywall mud, do not buy because it will expire eventually.
Sheetrock is basically a drywall’s brand name and it includes various drywall pieces that come in several thicknesses. Sheetrock’s product line includes specialty products like fire-resistant panels or walls that help prevent moisture buildup.
