Provide extra protection
PURPLE® XP® is a specially treated, mold- and fire-resistant paper-faced gypsum board that provides Xtra Protection (XP) against mold and mildew compared to standard gypsum board. The XP gypsum core is encased in heavy, mold-, mildew- and moisture-resistant, 100% recycled PURPLE paper on the face. In addition, most PURPLE drywall products also stand up to scratches, scuffs, dents and noise.

With a solution for most every design or building challenge, our eXP products will help you construct the finest quality interior and exterior walls and ceilings.
