Does Plaster Require Special Tools to Install?

When most people start working with plaster, the first thought is often about tools. Many assume plaster requires complex, professional equipment to handle correctly. No, plaster does not need highly specialized tools, but it does require a specific set of basic tools—such as trowels, floats, hawks, and mixers—to achieve a smooth, durable finish. In my […]

Is Gypsum Board Still Used?

Many people think gypsum board is outdated, but it remains one of the most essential, versatile, and evolving materials in modern interior construction worldwide. Yes, gypsum board is still widely used in walls and ceilings. It offers excellent soundproofing, fire resistance, moisture control, and design flexibility—qualities that modern buildings increasingly rely on. Over years manufacturing […]

What Is the Lifespan of Drywall?

Homeowners often ask how long drywall lasts before needing replacement, but its true lifespan depends not only on time but also on moisture control, structural conditions, and ongoing maintenance habits. Drywall typically lasts 25–70 years if properly installed and maintained under stable interior humidity. It doesn’t rot, rust, or decay like wood or metal but […]

What Is the Difference Between Lightweight Drywall and Regular Drywall?

Many builders compare lightweight drywall and regular drywall assuming only weight changes, but the real difference lies in composition engineering that improves strength, handling, and sustainability without lowering overall performance and durability. Lightweight drywall differs from regular drywall through modified gypsum formulation using micro-foam technology and fiber reinforcement that reduces up to 25% of weight […]

Is Fireproof Drywall Mold Resistant?

Many assume fireproof drywall automatically provides mold resistance, but fire-rated and mold-resistant features require different manufacturing approaches. Fireproof drywall mold resistance involves material composition, moisture management, and surface treatments that determine environmental performance while fire resistance focuses primarily on high-temperature protection rather than moisture control. Fireproof drywall is not automatically mold resistant as fire-rated gypsum […]

What are the Disadvantages of Plasterboard?

Many consider plasterboard a perfect wall solution, but limitations exist in specific applications. Through years of gypsum board manufacturing and application consulting, I learned that understanding plasterboard limitations helps select appropriate applications while proper system design and installation techniques can minimize disadvantages through moisture-resistant variants, reinforcement methods, and quality installation practices for optimal performance. Why […]

Which One is Better, Gypsum or POP?

Many assume gypsum board and POP represent equivalent ceiling options, but significant differences exist. Gypsum versus POP comparison involves manufacturing precision, installation quality, environmental impact, and long-term performance that determine appropriate selection for different applications and design requirements. Gypsum board is generally better than POP for modern construction due to superior quality control, faster installation, […]

How to Check the Purity of Gypsum?

Many assume gypsum purity checking requires complex laboratory procedures, but practical methods exist for field assessment. Gypsum purity testing involves chemical analysis, physical properties, and visual indicators that determine material quality and performance characteristics in manufacturing applications. Check gypsum purity through X-ray diffraction analysis for precise composition, chemical titration for calcium sulfate content, thermal analysis […]

What is Fireproof Drywall Called?

Many assume fireproof drywall follows single naming conventions, but fire-resistant products use specific technical designations. Fire-resistant drywall involves engineered formulations and standardized naming that reflect performance ratings rather than simple "fireproof" terminology. Fire-resistant drywall is called Type X or Type C gypsum board, with Type X providing 1-hour fire resistance at 5/8-inch thickness and Type […]

How to Build a Partition Wall Step by Step?

Many assume partition wall construction follows simple linear steps, but understanding system integration ensures successful installation. Partition wall building involves coordinating structural elements, material properties, and performance requirements rather than just following assembly procedures. Building a partition wall requires planning layout and measuring space, installing ceiling and floor tracks, placing vertical studs at proper spacing, […]

Can a Partition Wall Be a Load-Bearing Wall?

Many assume partition walls only divide spaces without structural function, but understanding their potential load-bearing capacity prevents costly structural mistakes. Partition walls can serve dual purposes as space dividers and structural elements when properly designed and constructed. Partition walls can function as load-bearing walls when designed with appropriate framing, connections, and structural analysis, though most […]
