Moisture resistant drywall is needed wherever humidity levels stay high or moisture appears frequently, such as bathrooms, kitchens, basements, and utility areas. It prevents deformation, mold growth, and surface damage caused by damp environments. we design moisture resistant drywall to manage indoor humidity, not just block it. Drywall doesn’t reject water completely—it stabilizes under changing […]

Yes, humidity can make drywall crack. When air moisture rises, drywall (also known as gypsum board or drywall plasterboard) absorbs water and expands slightly. When humidity drops, it dries and contracts. This constant movement causes tension at the joints, especially if they lack flexibility or were installed in unstable conditions. drywall systems use humidity-balanced gypsum […]

The best material for fireproof walls depends on the building’s purpose, but gypsum board (drywall) is among the most efficient and widely used solutions. It combines fire resistance, light weight, and easy installation while meeting modern fire-rating standards in both residential and commercial buildings. TRUSUS Fireproof Gypsum Board achieves higher performance through hydrated mineral composition […]

Yes, you can hang a 20 lb mirror on drywall if you anchor it correctly. The key is using proper wall anchors or hitting the metal or wooden studs behind the wall. Drywall alone isn’t built to bear direct point loads, but when correctly reinforced, it holds mid-weight décor safely and securely. Drywall strength = […]

Common drywall partition mistakes include poor framing alignment, skipping tape reinforcement at seams, overdriving screws, and ignoring expansion gaps. These errors cause cracks, uneven surfaces, and unstable walls. A drywall system is not just panels—it’s an engineered assembly that needs correct joint treatment, fastening, and moisture management. Drywall problems often start from improper system installation, […]

Thermal insulation plays a critical role in ceiling construction—including gypsum ceiling, PVC gypsum ceiling tile, and PVC aluminum foil ceiling systems—by reducing heat transfer between interior spaces and the roof. It helps maintain consistent indoor temperatures throughout the year. In gypsum ceiling panel structures, insulation functions as a thermal barrier, keeping heat out in summer […]

Yes, a drop ceiling and a suspended ceiling refer to the same system—a secondary ceiling hung below the structural slab using a metal grid framework supporting panels or tiles. These systems may include gypsum ceiling panels, PVC gypsum ceiling tiles, or even PVC aluminum foil ceiling panels depending on the design intent and environmental needs. […]

Fire-resistant gypsum resists fire because its core material, calcium sulfate dihydrate (CaSO₄·2H₂O), releases chemically bound water as steam when exposed to heat. This endothermic reaction absorbs heat energy, delaying temperature rise, creating a vapor shield that slows flame penetration and protects structural integrity through reinforced glass fiber within the gypsum matrix. Calcium sulfate dihydrate contains […]

When PVC gets too hot it undergoes progressive thermal degradation starting with softening at 60-70°C, dimensional distortion at 80-90°C, potential warping and deformation at 100°C+, molecular breakdown releasing harmful gases at 200°C+, and complete structural failure at extreme temperatures, making temperature control critical for PVC building applications. Softening begins at 60-70°C making material flexible and […]

Hide old wooden beams using TRUSUS light steel framing with precise measurements creating independent support structure, moisture barriers preventing condensation issues, thermal insulation eliminating cold bridges, seamless drywall installation with proper joint treatment, and integrated systems accommodating lighting and HVAC while maintaining ceiling height and structural integrity. Light steel framing with precise measurements creates independent […]

Yes, covering wood walls with TRUSUS gypsum board systems reduces AC electricity bills in Guyana by 10-20% through improved thermal mass adding 2-4 hour temperature lag, enhanced insulation when combined with cavity insulation reducing heat transfer by 60%, air sealing eliminating drafts and infiltration, reflective properties reducing radiant heat absorption, and thermal bridging elimination improving […]

The Guyana government is promoting light steel framing for Silica City to achieve rapid construction timelines reducing housing delivery from years to months, cost-effective building systems lowering construction costs by 30-40%, climate resilience against hurricanes and seismic activity, sustainable development reducing concrete usage by 80%, skilled labor efficiency requiring fewer specialized workers, and modular construction […]
