EcoRock – the Green Drywall Alternative

Posted by Greg Castillo on October 19, 2009

EcoRockThe First Environmentally Friendly Drywall

EcoRock is an advanced solution that uses 80 percent less energy to produce than gypsum drywall, which for over 100 years has been the traditional construction drywall on the market.  Naturally cured and dried, this innovative product eliminates the energy-intensive, high-CO2 generating calcining and oven-drying production method used to make wasteful gypsum drywall.

EcoRock Benefits:

  • EcoRock outperforms all other mold resistant drywall by 50 percent.
  • EcoRock uses no harsh anti-fungal chemicals on its surface or within its core.
