Gypsum Board

Gypsum board building systems are easy to install for several reasons. Gypsum board panels are relatively large compared to other materials.
They come in 48 inch wide sheets and in lengths of 6 feet, so they quickly cover large wall and ceiling areas.
Gypsum board assemblies require only a few tools for their construction.
Gypsum board can be cut with either a utility knife or a variety of saws, and it can be attached with a variety of fasteners, including screws, nails, and staples.
It can also be adhesively attached to many substrates.
Gypsum board is a lightweight material.
Two workers can easily handle most panels and cover large areas in very short time periods. Gypsum board is easily finished using either a few hand tools or relatively modest machines. Gypsum board installers can quickly learn most application techniques in a few hours.
