At De La Rosa Drywall, we take pride in delivering high-quality drywall solutions, and we love educating our customers along the way. It’s time for another Myth-busting Video, where we tackle some of the biggest misconceptions about drywall. Today, we’re diving into a common concern: Is drywall toxic? Plus, we’ll explore a couple of other drywall myths you may have heard.
Myth #1: Drywall is Full of Toxic Chemicals
The Truth: Drywall is primarily made of gypsum, a naturally occurring mineral that is non-toxic and safe. The outer layers are covered with paper, making it a simple, environmentally friendly building material.
The only real concern comes from improper installation or extreme situations, such as:
- Chinese drywall scandal (2000s): Some imported drywall contained sulfur compounds that caused odors and corrosion. However, U.S. drywall manufacturers do not use these harmful materials.
- Drywall dust: When cutting or sanding drywall, fine dust can be released, which can irritate the lungs if inhaled in large amounts. That’s why proper ventilation and protective gear are always recommended.
Bottom line: Drywall itself is safe—just be mindful during installation!
