Paperless drywall was developed recently in order to combat problems with mold. As stories of mold-related health concerns have proliferated in the news during recent years, all of the major drywall manufacturers have rolled out new products designed to resist the growth of mold.
Traditional drywall is made up of gypsum and paper. To create a sheet of drywall, the gypsum is pressed between two thick pieces of paper and then kiln-dried. Since the paper covering on traditional drywall can allow for the growth of mold if it becomes damp or wet, paperless drywall was developed in an attempt to combat this problem.
Paperless drywall is similar to traditional drywall in that it also contains a gypsum core. The difference is that instead of using paper as an outer wrapping, fiberglass is used instead. The gypsum core in paperless drywall is also water-resistant, unlike the core of traditional drywall. These changes in the makeup of the drywall are intended to reduce the risk of mold growth by making the drywall as resistant as possible to moisture and water. While the new paperless drywall products are not mold-proof, they offer more protection from the threat of mold than traditional drywall.
