Greenboard drywall, also known as moisture-resistant drywall, features a water-repellent paper facing, typically green, and a moisture-resistant core. It's commonly used in areas with higher humidity levels, such as bathrooms, kitchens, and laundry rooms, to help prevent mold and mildew growth. While it offers some resistance, it's not waterproof and should not be used in areas directly exposed to water.

Professionals install corner bead on drywall by first cutting it to the required length and then attaching it to the drywall edges, typically with drywall screws or staples, ensuring it's perfectly plumb. Joint compound is then applied over the bead and feathered out onto the wall surface. Multiple thin coats are applied to create a smooth, integrated finish that reinforces the corner and prevents cracking. This meticulous process ensures durability and a clean aesthetic for interior and exterior corners.

Level 5 drywall finish represents the highest standard of smoothness, involving a full skim coat of joint compound over the entire surface after all taping and screw-hole filling. This creates an exceptionally uniform and defect-free surface, ideal for high-gloss paints, metallic finishes, or areas with critical lighting where imperfections would be highly visible. It's often specified for high-end projects where a flawless appearance is paramount. The pros ensure this meticulous finish is achieved through careful application and sanding.
