Strong, Smooth Walls Start With the Right Drywall
Drywall might not be the first thing you think about during a renovation, but it’s the foundation of every beautiful room. It shapes your space, affects your lighting, and sets the stage for every finish. That’s why choosing the right material matters, and choosing the right team to install it matters even more. At Polli Construction, we treat drywall as the craft it truly is, turning simple gypsum sheets into clean, flawless walls that make your home feel complete.
Drywall Basics: The Backbone of Every Room
Drywall, also known as sheetrock or wallboard, is made by compressing gypsum plaster between sturdy paper layers. Standard panels are pale gray or ivory on the finish-facing side and darker on the back. They come in various sizes and thicknesses, though 4×8 feet is the most common. For the best results, larger sheets are ideal because they reduce seams and create a smoother final look.
Purple Drywall
Mold-Resistant Drywall: A Healthier Home
This upgraded panel is designed to resist mold and mildew. With a fiberglass-based backing and a specially coated gypsum core, it helps keep your walls healthier and cleaner, especially in moisture-prone rooms.
Blue Board
Plaster Board: Durable and Designer-Friendly
Blue Board is made for veneer plastering rather than mud and tape. It absorbs plaster beautifully, offering a smooth, durable finish that reduces noise and provides low emissions. It’s a great choice when you want a premium surface in high-moisture spaces.
Greenboard
Moisture-Resistant Drywall: Protection Where It Matters
Perfect for bathrooms, basements, and other humid areas, Greenboard stands up to moisture better than traditional drywall. While not fully waterproof, it’s a smart upgrade for spaces that need extra resilience, and it can even be used behind tile installations.
Cement Board
Built for Tile and Tough Conditions
Cement board is incredibly strong and water-resistant, making it ideal as a tile backer or underlayment for slate and quarry tile. With its polymer layers and fiber mesh reinforcement, it’s also approved for use near wood stoves or heaters where added protection is needed.
X-Board
Fire-Resistant Drywall: Safety First
Containing non-combustible fibers, fire-resistant drywall slows flames for 45 to 60 minutes. Building codes often require it in garages, bedrooms, multi-family units, and commercial spaces. As a bonus, its added thickness also reduces noise between rooms.
Soundproof
Quiet You Can Feel
Made from wood fibers, gypsum, and polymers, soundproof drywall helps dampen noise and create peaceful spaces. It’s denser than standard drywall, making it ideal for media rooms, bedrooms, offices, or anywhere silence matters.
