Imported wallboard products? That's just crazy.
Imported wallboard products?
Because at the height of the resdential building boom, the drywall plants couldn’t keep up with demand. I work for Lowe’s in Tampa and we have a National Gypsum plant 20 miles from my store yet we were having it shipped from Alabama (if I remember correctly) because the demand was too great. The distributors had drywall on allocation meaning even we and HD could only get so much brought in.
The problem with the Chicom board is it contains unclean organic fillers and was sprayed with a substance to keep it from molding while in the hot cargo containers coming from China.
The building material suppliers were not checking the quality/content of the material they bought. They assumed it was the same. NOT!
