Finding the right gypsum board thickness can make or break your project's safety and performance. Many builders underestimate how thickness affects fire ratings and structural integrity. The thickest standard gypsum board is typically 15mm, though specialty applications can go up to 16mm. Most construction projects use boards ranging from 9mm to 16mm depending on performance […]

Gypsum ceiling cracks can turn your beautiful space into an eyesore overnight. You need quick, effective solutions that prevent future problems. The best approach to repair gypsum ceiling cracks involves cleaning the crack, applying mesh tape with joint compound, and finishing with primer and paint. Small hairline cracks need different treatment than larger structural cracks. […]

Construction professionals worldwide struggle with inconsistent material quality. Delivery delays disrupt project schedules. Poor customer service creates communication headaches. These problems cost contractors money and damage their reputations with clients. As China's leading gypsum board manufacturer since 2002, Trusus Technology (Beijing) Co., Limited rank among the top three domestic producers through 20+ years of industry […]

Modern construction demands speed, flexibility, and cost efficiency. Traditional building methods often fall short of these requirements. A drywall partition is a lightweight interior wall system made from gypsum board panels attached to metal or wood framing, creating room divisions without load-bearing functions. It's the most common interior partitioning method in modern construction. After working […]

Construction costs are rising while quality demands increase. Builders struggle to find materials that deliver both performance and value in today's market. Gypsum board offers the perfect balance of lightweight strength, fire resistance, thermal efficiency, and sustainability, making it the optimal wall system for modern construction projects seeking cost-effective performance. I've spent over 15 years […]

Confused about studs and tracks in your drywall project? This common mix-up can lead to installation problems, structural weaknesses, and wasted materials. The main difference between studs and tracks is their function: studs are vertical supports that hold the weight of the drywall, while tracks are horizontal channels that secure the studs at the top […]

Many people budget for drywall projects by only counting board prices. But accessories can consume half the budget if you overlook them. Drywall accessories include metal framing, fasteners, joint tapes, compounds, and finishing materials that support and complete gypsum board installations. In my own work, I’ve seen accessories drive unexpected cost overruns. Light steel studs, […]

Every year, building material exporters pour huge budgets into global trade shows, but many walk away with only a handful of true opportunities. Global trade shows can help drywall and ceiling system exporters gain visibility, but real success depends on preparation, in-booth engagement, and post-show follow-up. When I attended my first overseas exhibition, I thought […]

Team building often looks lively from the outside, but does it really build stronger bonds that last beyond one day? Team building can help create short-term enthusiasm, but lasting team strength depends on consistent trust, communication, and shared goals built over time. During our company retreat, I saw real smiles and laughter. Yet, the next […]

Builders often think plasterboard and drywall are different materials. In truth, they’re just two names for the same product. Yes, plasterboard and drywall are the same gypsum-based panel, with differences only in regional naming conventions. I first learned this when exporting materials between London and New York. Orders looked different on paper, but the actual […]

Many owners ask which ceiling material is better, but it depends on where and how you use it. PVC ceilings resist moisture and are easy to clean, while gypsum ceilings offer better texture, strength, and design flexibility. I often suggest PVC ceilings for kitchens and bathrooms where moisture is high. Gypsum ceilings suit living rooms […]

Many assume every gypsum board can stop fire effectively, but that’s not true. Not all gypsum board is fire-rated; only boards tested and certified for fire resistance carry an official rating. In my work, I see regular gypsum boards used where fire-rated boards are required. This creates compliance and safety problems. Fire-rated boards pass strict […]
