Building projects often fail because people misunderstand what a gypsum board system really is. A gypsum board system is the combination of gypsum boards and their supporting components such as framing, fasteners, and finishing materials, designed to meet specific performance goals.

What exactly is drywall?

Oct 20, 2025

I often meet clients who think drywall is just a “quick wall fix,” but it’s actually a specific building material with a clear history and defined purpose. Drywall is a gypsum-based panel wrapped in paper or fiberglass mats, used to form interior walls and ceilings without wet plaster. Drywall replaced wet plaster in the early […]
