Product type
Plasterboards, also known as drywall or gypsum board, are building materials used for constructing interior walls and ceilings. They consist of a core made of gypsum plaster sandwiched between two sheets of heavy paper or fiberglass mat. This construction provides a lightweight yet sturdy panel that is easy to install and finish. Plasterboards are widely used in residential and commercial construction for their fire resistance, sound insulation, and ease of maintenance.
