- Trusscore is transforming residential and commercial construction with products that combine sustainable materials with nanotechnology. Our PVC wall and ceiling panels are easy-to-install and high-performance replacements for traditional drywall and fiberglass-reinforced plastic (FRP) panels.
Why does Bryan Baeumler, HGTV host and professional contractor, build with Trusscore?
• Helps control costs, saves time and produces a better finished product. Trusscore installs three times faster than existing alternatives, leading to labor and material savings.
• The product is an ideal drywall alternative and improvement for conventional and residential wall systems.
• Trusscore is a sustainability-focused company committed to leading research and development for advanced material science in the building materials industry.
Trusscore PVC panels are easy and quick to install due to their tongue and groove interlocking system. Trusscore products are highly durable yet lightweight due to their internal truss design. Trusscore wall board is waterproof paneling that is easy to clean and doesn’t support moisture, mold or mildew growth.

I was Involved with Royal Plasics 23 years ago producing a product very similar to this .. Royal had to abandon this because of the off gassing of this product and the Cancer causing chemicals...It to was PVC .....Has this been approved and found with zero off gassing ??? Or will we just find out later after NRC finds out it is not safe in homes
I was wondering about this. Since they now make low VOC luxury vinyl plank (which is mostly PVC) & it's quite competitive, I would think they could make this product low VOC, but idk...
Love it
I would like to see videos of trusscore being installed around windows and outlets.
Hi Becky, unfortunately we don't have any videos of Trusscore being installed around windows and outlets, but we'll recommend this to the team! In the meantime, check out our Trusscore Install Guide for these instructions: trusscore.com/resources/wall-and-ceilingboard-installation-guide.pdf.
Visit Figure 2 on page 4 for outlets and page 21-22 for around windows and doors.
It just like drywall! Cut the hole cover with plate! Windows cover with trim! Very easy!
Nice bling Brian. Sure if you like watching your walls melt. What happens if some one damages the wall? Can you patch it with plastic. National Residential Code does include this product in literature.
Where in Alberta can I see this product. Who is your distributor? I am interested in this product in my basement bathroom
Can this product be constructed or manufactured to look like shiplap for interior usage
I think this sounds perfect for a shower stall.
Brian is the only one who can chose trusscore its not available to regular people and installers
How does the product stand against sunlight? Will it turn yellow?
how do you hang pictures on walls after awhile a zillion holes ?
How come in all the videos that show this being installed no insulation is used first? Does trusscore not need insulations?
Trusscore is not an insulation product, and therefore does not contribute to the R value of a wall assembly. Our panels are compatible with most commonly used insulation products, with the exception of plastic foam insulations.
We'll be sure to capture an install video where insulation is used first -- thanks so much for the feedback!
But if a fire started drywall isn’t a fuel where plastic is a fuel and aggressive with fire cause the melting just spreads cause this is a pvc product the fumes will be just as deadly
Are you planning to stay inside to smell fumes or running outside?..
@@taramiller3236 what if the homeowners are sleeping?
You can look up the ratings for any construction material. This has a “Class A” fire rating that means it has a low flame spread among other things. You have to to compare to the same test results as drywall. To be approved for interior finishes, it hat to meet certain standards, which I am sure it’s tested for. Not to say that I want to use it myself.
@@taramiller3236If it is approved for interior use, then they have tested it. Yes fumes and smoke are important in a fire (the cause of most deaths). People don’t base the quality of materials on how fast people can run. Don’t be silly.
I've been watching Trusscore videos for the last hour or so. To my way of thinking, the applications for this product in the residential space are limited to garages, and maybe mudrooms and dedicated laundry rooms. Even home gyms are a stretch. It is with great difficulty that I imagine homeowners wanting PVC walls in their living spaces.
Product still requires evolution. For its core purposes I like the idea of a wall and hanger system in one that is visually appealing.
I was thinking the same thing. Because of how glossy it looks. Might not be appealing in a bedroom.
@@codyboudreau2838 It's not just how it looks. I mean, I imagine it can be painted, although those truss lines are a dead giveaway.
There are also the acoustic properties which are undoubtedly poorer than drywall simply for the fact that drywall has more mass and presumably a lower resonance frequency.
@@helmanfrow what about cutting out around electrical outlets or in mechanical rooms around pipes ? How would that look ? Also if it caught on fire ?
@@helmanfrow I agree with you.
How is the sound absorption compared to drywall?
The acoustic performance of Trusscore Wall&CeilingBoard is very similar to conventional products like drywall, with our panels demonstrating similar sound absorption and sound blocking performance as ½” and 5/8” drywall when installed on wall and ceiling assemblies:
Sound absorption - or the Noise Reduction Coefficient (NRC) - is a measure of how much sound a material can absorb to reduce the amount of noise within a room. The NRC performance of Trusscore Wall&CeilingBoard is estimated to be 0.15 (i.e., 15% of sound is absorbed), and drywall's performance is also 0.15.
Sound blocking - or the Sound Transmission Class (STC) - is a measure of how well a material can block sound from passing through it into an adjacent space. A material’s STC reflects a sound’s decibel reduction from the space where the sound originates to the adjacent space. When installed on studs or joists, Trusscore Wall&CeilingBoard has an estimated STC value of 30 to 35 (i.e., it reduces 30 to 35 decibels of sound), which is similar to the sound blocking performance of single-layer drywall.
Show installation with a door framed 2 inches away from the corner. I imagine any cabinets, wash sinks or garage door and openers all need removed and reinstalled during installation of a renevation and hopefully the studs all line up ....
Hi Gene, Lauren here from Trusscore!
If you did have a project with a door framed 2 inches away from the corner, you would continue trimming out the space and installing panels the same way. Similar to any other building material, if you're looking for a seamless installation, you would remove and reinstall those fixtures (cabinets, sinks, doors, etc.).
If your studs aren't 16" on center, we recommend a horizontal installation to avoid needing to strap out the space or purchase additional materials.

So this is pretty much indoor siding...
Can it be painted like exterior siding?
I’ve seen other videos that say it can be painted. I don’t think they warranty it for exterior use (yet).
What about where fire guard is required by code? Does this pass fire code? Are there different thicknesses?
Hey Anthony! Trusscore has one thickness, being 1/2". Trusscore panels achieve a Class A fire rating. If a fire-rated wall assembly is specified by code, Trusscore Wall&CeilingBoard must be installed on top of a fire-rated wall or ceiling assembly. We recommend you check your local building code prior to installing. Please let us know if you have any additional questions 😊
So just add more to the cost of the build as if building materials and labor are so cheap. Worthless and cheap looking product that’s only fire rated if you put up a fire rated wall panel first? Total scam
I’m installing this now on a commercial job no way is it faster than fry wall , the J and channel takes a lot of time if you want it done right but it is a good product
How much more damage would fire a cause compared to a sheet rock ???.
Is Trusscore a better fire rated material ???
Pvc at high temperature think 🤔
If you have some really deep pockets.
Is trusscore fireproof (like drywall?
I think no. And imagine the toxic fumes if it burns. Not for me
What is fire rating of trusscore? I have watched 3 videos and none would talk about it. Do you think this is good PR practice?
You can look it up. I have seen it rated “Class A” This does not mean it can be used in fire-resistant barrier construction though, like drywall. There is “rating” and “rated fire-resistant assemblies”.
can it be painted ? no mention of this Prices? Bryan is getting how much to con the public ?
Hi Marcel, yes Trusscore can be painted. We recommend using a paint and primer that is designed for use with PVC. You can see our pricing here: trusscore.com/pricing
Need to come in 4x8 sheets less seams!
This would not be legal even for garages because the walls have to be covered with a fire resistant material like drywall
We install similar product on carwashes. Very industrial looking. I dont know if it's paintable.
It’s paintable, recommended exterior paint.
Insulation?
Hi Sundip. Trusscore is not an insulation product, and therefore does not contribute to the R value of a wall assembly. Our panels are compatible with most commonly used insulation products, with the exception of plastic foam insulations.
Can this be used in a shower stall?
Yes it can be! We recommend Trusscore Wall&CeilingBoard.
@@trusscore Depending on the area, the application …it might be a hard sell. But there’s a market for everything. It’s almost like everyone going over to electric cars, in theory yes but then again the car is very expensive
@@kdesjarlais8200in case you haven’t noticed not EVERYONE is buying electric cars. The more people find out about EV’s the less people are convinced. It must be nice to get paid to fluff up a crappy product. Your product is probable good for mobile homes and campers but nothing else. And yes been a builder for 40 yrs so I know what I’m talking about.
Maybe a garage!
So is this like vinyl siding but inside the house? I guess it wouldn’t look good for a basement.
Hi there, we see a lot of Trusscore installs in residential basements due to the mold resistant and waterproof nature of Trusscore Wall&CeilingBoard panels. You can learn more about basement applications here: trusscore.com/applications/basements.html
Maybe a garage or commercial kitchen application. Zero fire rating and I would guess you need special paint
How could this be in a homes interior it's plastic...convince me the finish will look good
It comes with a wood grain finish.
@@ToddBizCoacheven more cheesy than I thought
Why do we need more plastic products in our homes? What are the VOC from product? Faster is not always better. Yes this product can be recycled but how many times and then what landfill. And let's be real at every construction site on a budget the last thing contractors are thinking of is recycling. I think when we use plastic we are thinking on a very limited time frame.
Plus what's it's fire rating, noise rating, can you paint it... The world needs to move away from plastic if it wants to get away from oil (this coming from an Albertan). The more sustainable wood products used in a home technically could be called a form of carbon storage as long as it does not rot. Think about it.
If the lefty narrative has u that concerned, sacrifice everything u have & build yourself a homestead mudhut.
Drywall is not wood. In the past , drywall had toxic fumes and many people had to replace whole homes......
Do you need installers?
Hey Jake! If you're a contractor who installs Trusscore, we recommend checking out our Trusscore Trusted Installer program! You can learn more and apply here: trusscore.com/get-started/installers-and-contractors.html#trusted-installer
Is it fire rated
Its plastic lol.
@@evictioncarpentry2628 it’s corrugated plastic, and it is fire rated as per their website - just not as much as drywall. Thanks for the “input” though.
It has an ASTM E 84 Class A rating, meaning a fire-spread rating
Are these guys publicly listed? I was thinking of investing with them. Thanks!
Hi there, unfortunately Trusscore is not a publicly listed company. Be sure to sign up to our monthly newsletter to stay tuned on exciting company announcements though!
@@trusscoreof all the questions on this video, this is the only one you're responding to?
Oh some panelling; there used to be that stuff when regulations for fire weren't around. Plus I can drywall 10 sheets an hour of average ten footers by myself; try doing a whole house with that stuff.Although the price of drywall installation and finishing in Ontario has been inflated on google because of large companies that pay people by the hour and rake in a ton of cash; I was charging 40 cents in Alberta per square foot and here they are saying a dollar seventy five or three for both jobs; that would be 40 times ten times 1.75 which would have me making seven hundred per hour with a helper and since I can do it alone; se can figure close to double if I'm just supplying the sheets and he screws. So either it was you guys that wrote the new prices for drywall installation or the big companies in order to get top dollar from government contracts.
video of you doing 10 sheets or your lying
@@user-ib3jc2ds9x I had been wondering where this was from cause I read it and swiped it leftwards by mistake and thought I’d read impossible and actually was glad to have been told that again but just noticed it being just that either that or I had to had been lying. Well for one thing; the first house was first seven hour day was 87 sheets at 35 cents I think and ended up at 1700 where my helper which I was giving 40% made 100 or bucks an hour after screwing and helping set those sheets. 700 bucks to screw 87 sheets is a pretty good wage. And those ten sheets in an hour was in a bedroom where I use nothing but a router and a screwgun and was twelve years later alone. So in 2016 and haven’t work at that since. Not new homes anyways
I could likely do it faster actually
I would not have that inside my home. It looks cheap!
If you have not seen it installed on a basement ceiling how can you comment how it looks?
@@ToddBizCoach I assume he's going on guy feel.
It's waterproof!
It may look cheap, but it is very expensive costing 100 for a 4x8 panel.
@@ToddBizCoachtoo many seams. It looks cheesy in all the photos and videos, how could it look better in person? Maybe you live by the 20/20 rule and get paid a lot to endorse this bogus over priced plastic crap
made from ABS plastic or?
Hello, our panels are made of PVC.
@@trusscore fire proof ?
@@marcelfortin7035 Trusscore has a Class A fire rating (The most stringent rating available for building materials). You can learn more about our Fire Performance & Safety here: trusscore.com/products/fire-performance-and-safety.html
Garage=Yes. Shed=Yes. Trailer/camper=Yes.
everywhere else=No
Good product and concept though.
It should be available at home centers not like home depot sells it packages of 8 what that so ill have alot of leftovers lets get it in the home centers at the rite price and all the moundings that come too ...lets get it out there
Hi Oscar! Lauren here from Trusscore! Where are you located? I hope I can help out and find you a local Trusscore dealer that either stocks the panels or can help order it in for you
@@trusscore iam in the bronx NYC
Simply not gonna takeoff in Western Canada. Something like this takes forever to Get legs under it. I don’t think you can paint them panels. Drywall may be heavy, but you have a lot of Third World country installers don’t mind the work.May be a garage, but what’s the point
Lot of these comments dont make sense. This stuff isn't water tight, it's that water will not destroy it like water does to drywall, when PVC panels are on a ceiling, water will still pass threw all seams unless one wants to putt calk on all over head seams, all seams are 16" apart so water will pass threw every 16'. Then people complain about PVC giving off gasses, but what about PVC thats in pluming that brings water in the house, plastic is all around the house, eat off it, drink out of it, TVs, la[tops, cellphones are all full of plastic with heated elements, etc.........
Then some say drywall is faster, ha double HA, in their dreams!!! Perhaps they need to be reeducated in lifting a 1/2" x 4' x 8' sheet up to the ceiling on a wobbly step ladder, then mudding 6 times, sanding the nice fresh breathable fine dust 15 times, and then the most times the seams still show.......... Then some complain about seams in PVC panels, well what about seams in wood paneling, V-grove boards, etc...........
Then some people complain about more plastic and PVC destroying the earth, but at the same time they WANT 10 billion more acres of solar panels added to the landscape. What happens when all those chemical loaded panels panels goes bad in 20 years....... The only valid comment here is, this Trusscore stuff is to freeken Boulder expensive and theres no freeken need of it!!!!!!!!!!!!
If you are mudding 6x then you should look for another line of work
@@TheNyhm1 If you only put mud on just once on overhead drywall seams, [which is impossible] these PVC panels are still 10x faster and 20 X easier for a DIY-er.......
Furthermore I hate drywall work, I'd want $500.00/hour to do that job......
Kitchen had marlite was gutted rewired new plumbing reframed insulated come Monday drywall installation begins and positive I won't be sorry that I didn't go with this so called trusscore that in the real construction industry I don't see ever coming anywhere near replacing drywall.
Not cost effective at all my garage will cost 3k just for the sheets not including trims
You choose it because that what your paid to do
hi, i'm here to take your job and any form of reasonable pay from the skilled trades! we can install it like this. you work hard every day and get fuck*d. I get everything! welcome to the trades in canada in 2023!
You don't need to worry. I just installed this in my garage. Perfect for the garage, I wouldn't let it anywhere near the inside of my house. Anyone that sees this product in person and agrees to have it installed as wall or ceiling in their house, wasn't going to be paying for real trades workers anyway.
Its gotta be really exspencive! 😥
It is, very
Seeing a seam no thanks and also woman can never stick to one color another thing hang pictures frames? Now every thing you put on the wall needs a stud behind it?
I would never use this product: can't be easily painted, zero fire rating and zero sound proofing and visible seams. No thank you.
We are in a climate emergency, soon to be climate catastrophe, where hundreds of millions of humans will experience immense hardship and tragedy. And you're out here making plastic walls.
The green washing here and on your website...whew: Products manufactured from fossil fuels cannot be sustainable. And just because your product is technically recyclable, doesn't mean it will be recycled. Most products that cannot be recycled in local waste collection end up in landfills. Unless you intend to provide an exceptional cradle to grave service, these will almost never be recycled.
There are obvious advantages to your design. If they were made of an actual sustainable, responsible material, I would be interested in them. But ethically (and aesthetically), most of us don't want plastic walls.
Doesn't mold, doesn't get damaged by water, can be recycled...Drywall is landfills is NOT HARMLESS and can get into the water supply. This has it's place.
@@timparr246 We each consume on average 5g of plastics a week (the size of a credit card). We have plastic in our blood and in our organs. Plastic particles pass through the placenta. One third of all plastic waste ends up in our soil and in our fresh water. Our food supply contains plastic. And that's before we even get to the environmental damage caused by the oil and gas industry.
Not sure where you see me advocating for drywall. There are actual sustainable products on the market and many more soon to come. Any innovations can and should be sustainable. Green washing (aka lying to, misleading consumers) is incredibly unethical and results in an enormous amount of harm.
@@LLemonopy : Tell that to 1/2 the globe's population (China & India).
@@DonTerhune1200cc Not sure what China and India (1/3 of the word's population together, btw) have to do with CAN & USA being among the top waste producers in the world (both have been #1), while they produced a fraction of our waste per capita. Our waste disproportionately affects the citizens of their countries, but I'm pretty sure that's not news to them.
@@LLemonopy : Very simple; While China grows stronger every hour w/o the large additional cost burdens & restrictions that come w/ pollution control, USA & (other nations) grow weaker. If u are incapable of seeing where that will end for us, then you (like many) have been brainwashed to the point of no return.
Your product is ridiculous!
An expensive product that solves nothing. We have a brand new showroom down the street from my house and the parking lot is always empty!
expensive compared to what?
@@pjfan173is your head in the sand?
@@TheNyhm1 Nope. Just asked a question that I haven’t got an answer to yet.
Way too expensive
What are you comparing it to?
