Not the same at all.

Green = moisture resistant

Purple = Moisture, mildew and mold resistant


They are made by different companies, though.

I prefer Kerdi board all around, but especially on the ceiling; so much easier to work with.

Tiling a ceiling is no fun, even for those with experience.

How do you feel about rock seams being right where the recessed light cans are? Bad idea?



I wouldn't worry about it. As long as your finisher knows what he's doing, you should be fine.

Purple mold and moisture resistant Sheetrock should be used on all wet areas in the home. Those areas include ceilings above tubs and showers. The general rule is for a typical house, for every 100 pc of Sheetrock, 8 would be purple mold and moisture.
