What is "drywall"?
Drywall is a building material used for creating interior walls and ceilings. It consists of a soft, mineral-based core placed between two sheets of paper. Drywall is popular because it is easy to install and finish, providing a smooth surface for painting or decorating. It is also fire-resistant and helps with soundproofing between rooms.
Examples
The contractor finished installing the drywall in the living room, making the space look much more complete.
