Moisture Resistant Gypsum Board
Moisture Resistant Boards are also known as MR board or green board. Moisture-resistant gypsum board offers better resistance against moisture than traditional drywall. It is because they come with an aerated gypsum core along with special water-repellent additives. It uses moisture-resistant paper liners to encase these cores and hold them tight. It may use as a base for wall tile in baths, showers, and other areas subject to wetting. It comes in different brand names and in a thickness of 12.5 mm. This is normally available in the market as 1830 mm by 1220 mm panels.
