Drywall Completed These pictures show the completed drywall. The drywall has a silver appearance (as compared to the usual off white color) because it is foil backed drywall. Foil backed drywall is used in those places where a vapor barrier is needed (normal drywall easily passes moisture). We reverse the drywall so the foil is on the inside of the room so that the foil acts to keep out both the smell of insulation in the walls and ceiling, but also to keep the drywall from outgassing into the house. Drywall is treated with dioxins as well as other bad things.
