        "text": "For high-moisture kitchen zones near dishwashers, sinks, and range areas, green board or purple mold-resistant drywall is strongly recommended over standard drywall. While standard drywall works well on open kitchen walls, moisture-resistant boards feature treated cores and water-repellent paper coverings that prevent moisture absorption and inhibit fungal growth. Choosing standard drywall in wet zones risks early failure if steam or minor splashing penetrates through unsealed seams or grout lines.",
