        "text": "For garages, standard drywall (regular gypsum board) is commonly used for walls and ceilings not directly adjacent to living spaces. However, for enhanced fire safety, especially in attached garages, fire-rated (Type X) drywall is often mandated by code. In areas prone to moisture, such as garages with poor ventilation or near water sources, mold-resistant drywall can be a beneficial upgrade. The 'best' type depends on your specific garage's location, intended use, and local building code requirements, balancing cost, safety, and durability.",
