Water-resistant boards are the best choice of drywall for sale in Jamaica as they feature mold-inhibiting cores and water-repellent facers to tackle the challenges of tropical climates. We recommend using these in areas like bathrooms, kitchens, and laundry rooms. Regular drywall boards can be used in dry interior spaces like bedrooms, living rooms, hallways, and offices.

½ inch (12.7mm) drywall is the ideal choice for most interior walls as it’s lightweight but strong.
