Is This the Toughest Lightweight Drywall Yet?  @buildshow
Uploaded August 2026 | Updated September 2026, 3 weeks ago
On the Build Show, Travis Brungardt takes a hands-on look at USG’s new Ultralight Tough Panel, comparing it with traditional drywall to highlight its durability and ease of handling. Through a series of demonstrations, he shows how the lightweight drywall resists corner damage, maintains a flat surface after impacts, and produces cleaner cuts with less need for rasping. He also tests the panel’s flexibility in tight installation scenarios, noting that it bends without compromising the edges or face. The video focuses on drywall performance, handling, jobsite durability, and installation benefits for builders and contractors.
