Consisting of a gypsum core between two layers of paper, drywall is a versatile building material used to create interior walls and ceilings. Also known as sheetrock or gypsum wallboard, drywall is lightweight and easy to install, making it a highly valuable material in both residential and commercial construction. As a drywall supplier guided by deep industry expertise, GMS Canada provides a comprehensive range of drywall types for all your building needs.

Types of Drywall
Regular Drywall

Known for its versatility and affordability, regular drywall is a popular choice of wallboard for many commercial and residential contractors. Regular drywall is an ideal option for many residential and commercial projects, but other types of gypsum wallboard may be better suited for more specialized rooms, such as fire-rated or impact-resistant drywall.

Moisture- and Mold-Resistant Drywall

Moisture- and mold-resistant drywall is an excellent choice for moisture-prone rooms in commercial and residential spaces, such as basements, kitchens and laundry rooms. Instead of a paper covering, moisture-resistant drywall contains a fiberglass coating to further protect its mold-resistant properties.

Lightweight Drywall

Because it weighs less than regular drywall, lightweight drywall can be a great material choice for both DIY builders and professional contractors. This type of drywall allows for easier transportation and installation and can be a strong alternative to standard gypsum wallboard on job sites where accessibility can be difficult.

Fire-Rated/Type X Drywall

Fire-rated drywall is commonly required by building codes for certain structures due to its fire-resistant properties. Also known as Type X drywall, it features a one-hour fire rating so occupants can safely exit the building during a fire. Fire-rated drywall is typically used in multi-family residential buildings, commercial staircases, elevator shafts and garages.

Type C Drywall

Type C drywall is a fire-rated wallboard with fire-resistant additives and glass fibers. This drywall is an excellent option for buildings where strict fire codes apply, such as stairwells, hallways and commercial buildings. Type C drywall is often used in combination with other fire-rated sheetrock materials to meet safety regulations and provide an added layer of protection.

Drywall Tile Backer / Gypsum Tile Backer

Drywall tile backer boards are ideal for use in high-moisture areas such as backsplashes, around bathtubs or even outdoors. With a waterproof base that protects tiles from moisture damage in consistently wet areas, tile backer boards are perfect for bathrooms, saunas and showers.

Abuse-Resistant Drywall/ Impact-Resistant Drywall

For rooms subject to consistent wear-and-tear, such as hotel lobbies, school buildings and gyms, abuse-resistant drywall is an excellent option. This drywall is designed to endure long-term damage so the high-traffic indoor spaces they protect can stand the test of time.
