I'm going to convert a boiler room into a laundry room, and the drywall needs to be replaced.
But then I remember that moisture-resistant drywall turned out to be less effective and that the requirement was even removed after a short period.
But the question is - am I right or wrong? What kind of drywall should it be?

A laundry room is not considered a wet room, so the rules only apply to the floor, meaning you can use regular plasterboard. The floor should have a waterproof membrane + a 50 mm upstand on the wall.
What does sealing layer mean... it's a cast slab today, the current gypsum goes down into a groove a bit into the slab though seems like it's 50mm though...
- Do you have to have a membrane on the floor that turns up on the walls, how does that work if I'm going to tile everything - do you still need to have a membrane?
A painter suggested I take a knife and slit the old gypsum at floor level and leave it, but it doesn't feel very serious, it's not the end of the world to put new gypsum all the way down, I mean...

Common liquid waterproofing membrane in a bucket that you roll onto the floor and 5 cm up the wall with waterproofing strips in the floor/wall corner.
Is it above or below ground??
is in a garage, the base plate above ground
Okay. What type of surface treatment would you like on the floor and wall?
A little detour... does anyone have experience with gluing moisture-resistant gypsum board onto plastered walls? It seems that the gypsum's dimensional stability would make it more suitable than, for example, wedi boards of the same thickness. Sorry if I hijacked the thread
