          We are renovating a kitchen and wanted the purple bond as an additional protection for water intrusion. I ordered this one because it was light weight. Our past renovations, we used green board in the same application. The purple gypsum is by far easier and lighter to work with.

          We have been working hard renovating my daughter's basement. We finally started dry-walling just last night. Love working with this mildew resistant purple drywall. My 4 year old granddaughter can't wait for her Pap Pap (me) to get her new playroom finished. She said she "wuvs the color pupple". The drywall itself is durable, lightweight and is easy to work with! I have purchased all the materials for this project from Home Depot! Thanks and wish us luck with the rest of our dry-walling stage!

            this was the worst experience I have ever had. 4-5 reschedules. told it was coming not coming coming not coming then it shows up when I'm not home in the rain. had to wait another day to get it moved into house which I paid extra for. called HD and the girl at the call center was nice and was going to offer me a credit. I received nothing. terrible
