Drywall, also known as gypsum board or plasterboard, is a common building material used for constructing interior walls and ceilings. It offers numerous advantages, including cost-effectiveness, quick installation, and ease of finishing. Understanding the fundamentals of drywall can be beneficial for homeowners planning renovations or new construction.
