Basement walls live in the dampest air in the house, and drywall is the one material that can’t cope with it. Trusscore basement wall panels are solid PVC. They don’t absorb water, can’t grow mold, and never need mudding, sanding, or paint. Here’s what they cost, what sizes to order, and how they stack up against drywall and green board.
Our moisture and water-resistant basement wall and ceiling panels have a bright white or soft gray finish that adds resilience, style, and functionality to your home, outperforming alternative products in basement spaces.
Basement Wall Panels vs. Drywall vs. Green Board
Below grade, the question isn’t whether moisture reaches the wall. It’s when. Standard drywall absorbs it, green board slows it, and PVC panels don’t take it on at all.
| Factor | Standard Drywall | Green Board | PVC Panels (Trusscore Wall&CeilingBoard) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Moisture | Absorbs | Resists | Waterproof |
| Mold | 24–48 hrs after wetting | Delayed | None |
| Install | Tape, mud, sand, paint | Same | Screw to studs, done |
| Cleaning | Touch-up paint | Same | Wipe or pressure-wash |
| Repair after a flood | Replace | Replace | Dry and reuse |

When drywall gets wet, the outcome is never pretty. One of the amazing features of Trusscore Wall&CeilingBoard is it can handle repeated soakings with no issue. There’s no swelling, no mold growth.

It’s no secret that a finished basement adds value and living space to a home. Trusscore Wall&CeilingBoard and Trusscore SlatWall are the perfect upgrades for your basement space, delivering a bright, clean finish and unparalleled functionality.
Basements tend to be damp and dark. Trusscore products, made from PVC, are mold- and mildew-resistant panels for basement walls and ceilings. They reflect light, they shed water, and they won’t expand or swell. And Trusscore products clean up with a simple wipe. Plus, Trusscore Wall&CeilingBoard is tough — it’s made with an internal truss design that ensures your basement walls will last and handle high traffic and bumps without issue.
With Trusscore, your basement will look and function at its best.

Trusscore Wall&CeilingBoard integrates seamlessly with Trusscore SlatWall and its suite of accessories – hooks, shelves, and baskets – to maximize the storage potential of your basement walls. As storage needs change, the accessories can be easily repositioned. Trusscore SlatWall features a standard 3” slat design, meaning most widely available accessories will easily snap into place.
