Advantages and disadvantages of drywall as a building material

The undisputed plus of the material is a rather good soundproofing, which makes it possible to single out a full-fledged separate room, using false walls of plasterboard. Sounds can be absorbed even better if the skeleton is sewn with a double layer of sheets. Another important point - the construction of walls from gypsum board is quite simple. It is required to install a metal frame and trim it with a material that, by the way, is very light. This, on the one hand, simplifies the installation process, and on the other hand does not create unnecessary load on the load-bearing plates. In addition, the plasterboard is very smooth, so before the finish finish, nothing else will not even be leveled.
