Standard Drywall
Widely available in various thicknesses and sizes, standard drywall happens to be the most common type of drywall, and you can utilize it for a variety of applications. Standard drywall is suitable for most interior walls and ceilings and is easy to work with.
Moisture-Resistant Drywall
Also referred to as the green board, moisture-resistant drywall is ideal for areas with high levels of moisture, such as bathrooms and kitchens. It comes with a moisture-resistant coating that helps prevent the growth of mold and mildew.
Fire-Resistant Drywall
Also referred to as Type X and Type C drywall, fire-resistant drywall provides additional protection against fire. It comprises special additives that make it less susceptible to heat and flames. Fire-resistant drywall is perfect for areas that call for an additional layer of protection, such as stairwells and utility rooms. Note that Type C is a tad more fire-resistant when compared to Type X.
Acoustic Drywall

Also referred to as soundproof drywall, it is best suited for installation in music rooms, home theaters, and other areas where noise reduction is critical.
Impact-Resistant Drywall
Also referred to as abuse-proof drywall, impact-resistant drywall can withstand damage from accidental impacts, such as the ones caused by furniture, doors, and other objects. Manufactured with a reinforced core, it is your best bet to use in high-traffic areas, such as schools and hospitals. Note that the core of this kind of drywall comes with a layer of fiberglass.
