![]() When viewed in daylight at a distance of more than 6 feet, the surface of paperless drywall appears nearly identical to that of traditional paper-faced drywall. Drywall screws and nails penetrate paperless drywall just as they do traditional drywall. Aside from the slightly rougher surface when handling it, I could detect no other difference when I cut the paperless drywall with a traditional razor knife. I used paperless drywall on two recent projects in my own home. Some molds actually feed on the paper facing of traditional drywall if the drywall becomes wet or damp and stays moist. The fiberglass mat that replaces the paper is not a known food source for many common molds. Paperless drywall was created to help minimize the spread of mold in homes. ![]() Not all traditional drywall has this kind of core. It also comes with a moisture-resistant gypsum core. Paperless drywall is covered front and back with fiberglass that naturally is highly water resistant. Some drywall products have colored paper facing (blue or green) that inhibits the absorption of water that might otherwise soften the gypsum core. Not all drywall has the same paper facing. Traditional drywall has a firm gypsum core that is wrapped with special paper, both front and back. But paperless drywall solves a few annoying problems that users of paper-faced drywall have struggled with for years. Traditional drywall with paper facing is fine in many instances - I have it on virtually every surface of my own home. Q: Is paperless drywall as easy to cut, install and finish as traditional drywall that has a paper facing? Why would I choose paperless drywall? The texture of the paperless drywall is definitely rougher, and I am worried the walls and ceilings in my house will not be smooth.Ī: Paperless drywall is one of those why-didn't-I-think-of-that products.
