Gypsum board, also known as drywall or wallboard, is a panel made of gypsum plaster pressed between two thick sheets of paper. It is commonly used as a construction material for residential and commercial buildings, and is particularly useful for creating smooth, level surfaces on walls and ceilings.
Gypsum board panels are lightweight, easy to install, and can be painted or finished to match the decor of a room. They are also an effective sound insulator and fire-resistant. Gypsum board panels are typically 4 feet wide and 8 or 12 feet long, and are available in a variety of thicknesses depending on the intended use.
They are commonly attached to wood or metal framing using screws or nails, and are finished using joint compound to cover the seams and create a smooth surface.
