Gypsum board is produced primarily as two product types—1/2-inch-thick regular core and 5/8-inch-thick type ‘X’ core—and is used to finish the interior of 98 percent of the homes constructed in the United States. While proprietary board and panel products exist, gypsum board is generally considered to be a commodity building material.
