Drywall 101

Drywall is a building material that consists of either one or multiple layers of regular gypsum plaster pressed between sheets of paper. The thickness and weight (thinner drywall is lighter) determine the strength, durability, soundproofing capability, reusability, and cost of the finished product. It can be bulky to transport but relatively easy to work with.

It has been used for hundreds of years in construction because it meets most requirements for an interior wall finish:

Drywall is also found in exterior walls over wood framing or over metal framing in steel building construction. In addition to being a space divider and sound absorber, drywall is a foundation for paint finishes and wallpaper adhesives.
