        "text": "Moisture-resistant drywall, often called 'green board' due to its common color, has a water-repellent paper facing and a specially treated core that slows down water absorption. This makes it more resistant to moisture and humidity than standard drywall, which can quickly degrade and foster mold growth when wet. It is not waterproof, but it offers enhanced protection in damp environments. Standard drywall is suitable for dry interior spaces, while moisture-resistant drywall is designed for areas with intermittent moisture exposure.",
