drywall

Drywall (also known as plasterboard, wallboard, gypsum board, or LAGYP) is a panel made of gypsum plaster pressed between two thick sheets of paper. It is used to make interior walls and ceilings. Drywall construction became prevalent as a speedier alternative to traditional lath and plaster. In many places, the product is sold under the trademarks Sheetrock, Gyproc and Gyprock. In New Zealand the category is known as plasterboard and proprietary brands include Gib®.
