Drywall
Drywall is a building material globally used for the finishing of interior of walls and ceilings. Drywall is also commonly known as gypsum board or plaster board. A drywall panel is made of a paper liner wrapped around an inner core made primarily from gypsum plaster. The gypsum plaster is then mixed with various ingredients like fiber and foaming agent, to increase mildew and fire resistance. Drywall is then produced by sandwiching a core of wet gypsum between two sheets of fiberglass mats. When the core is dried, the sandwich becomes rigid. Then, it becomes strong enough to be used as a building material.
