Guest guest Posted June 22, 2005 Report Share Posted June 22, 2005 I am using Georgia Pacific Dens ARmour Plus, which is coated with glass, and is considered a substitute for use where humidity is a problem, and if water intrusion happens,you have a little more time to get things right before it goes moldy. It sells for about $22 a sheet- allot more than regular drywall. They also sell a tile backer Dens Armour, which is for wet situations- or , you can always go for cement board. One important thing is to have the contractor raise the board off the floor, and caulk with an anti- mold silicone caulk, then cover with molding so if rain gets on the floor, it does not wick up into whatever board you have Date: Sun, 19 Jun 2005 14:13:18 -0000 From: " barb1283 " <barb1283@...> Subject: Substitute for drywall I've searched the archives and cannot find the posts regarding better materials to use than drywall. In this case I would be using material on a porch with semi-exposure to outside, not direct rain but humid on humid summer days. What were the suggestions for mold-resistent wall and ceiling covers??? Thanks, Barb B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
