What Is Drywall?
Drywall, also known as gypsum board or plasterboard, is a building material used for constructing interior walls and ceilings. It consists of a gypsum core sandwiched between two layers of paper or fiberglass. Drywall is valued for its ease of installation, smooth finish, and fire-resistant properties. It provides a base for painting, wallpapering, or other decorative finishes in interior spaces.
