Green Wallboard Behind Toilet And Bathroom Cabinet
This video discusses the use of green board or water-resistant drywall in bathrooms, specifically behind toilets and bathroom cabinets. Greg expresses his disapproval of using green board in these areas, emphasizing that it is not waterproof.
He shares his experience of repairing bathrooms with green board damage caused by water, highlighting the misconception that water-resistant equals waterproof.
Something else to think about is that some building inspectors disapprove of using green board on ceilings due to potential moisture buildup and the risk of mold and mildew.
Bonus Tips:
Use waterproof materials in areas exposed to high levels of moisture, such as shower walls and floors.
Seal all joints and seams in drywall with caulk to prevent water penetration.
Ensure proper ventilation in bathrooms to reduce moisture buildup.
Regularly inspect your bathroom for signs of water damage.
Consider using alternative materials, such as ceramic tile or stone, in areas prone to moisture.
