The gypsum wall , known as the drywall system , is the assembly of a wall using an aluminum structure covered with a sheet of plasterboard and attached directly to these profiles.
Depending on the environment to be used, it is necessary to know the type of sheet, which differs by the shades and functions:
- The green, called UK, is indicated for wet areas such as the kitchen, bathroom and service area.
- The rose, called RF, is fire resistant and is therefore recommended in countertops with a hob and fireplace.
- And finally, the white ST, the simplest to use in the cladding and walls of traditional environments such as rooms, corridors and bedrooms.

- Plasterboard for any type of environment need
- Metal structure
- Screws and bushings
- Sealing tape for closing panels
- Thermoacoustic insulating ceiling
- Hydraulic and electrical installations in drywall
- Finishing (sanding and painting)
This type of material is resistant due to its metallic structure, which requires sufficient reinforcement to insert furniture and doors into the desired wall.
In decoration, the plaster wall allows several types of surfaces! From a simple painting to emphasize its presence, to more sophisticated coatings that accompany the rest of the scenery.
Difference between masonry and plaster
Because they are different materials, they have opposite properties. In addition to the shape of the laying, the expansion of the plaster is less than with the conventional wall. In this way, cracks and cracks in the structure movements are smaller. The system is not as impact-resistant as masonry, but every project has its own particularity in structural calculations.
What is the value of plaster walls and drywall?
The average price per square meter for a plaster wall can be from R 00 to R 00. In masonry, this value can increase by 20%. This value can often be different in each region due to labor and material access, which varies the footage in each city.

How to make gypsum wall step by step and drywall
1. Marking of surroundings
Using a pencil and pencil, mark the points of the guides on the floor, wall and ceiling. Draw the wall thickness according to the previous markings.
2. Assembly of the structure in steel profiles
Let the plate stand upright and fix it from top to bottom. Tie the other panels together while maintaining the gap between the joints.
3. Installation of insulation
Secure the thermoacoustic insulation panels of your choice and fill them between the studs.
4. Placing the panels and closing the environment
Repeat the installation of the panels on the opposite side and also check the opposite position of the panel. If one side has been spliced the panels bottom up, reversed on that side to avoid seams in the same places.
5. Grout
Pour the grout into the pieces of sheet metal and apply micro-perforated adhesive tape.
6. Finish Finish
The funniest moment! Sand the wall and it will be ready to receive any type of application, be it painting or coating.
Main advantages of gypsum wall and drywall
Among the advantages of a gypsum wall we can punctuate a few:
1. Clean work
Due to the way it is installed, it does not make any dirt, and dismantling is an advantage. Just disassemble the system to discard!
2. Fast installation
Since its structure is ready, its application is agile and quick with the ease of cutting as it is a light material.
3. Space saving
Because it is structured in metal profiles and plasterboard, its thickness is thinner, which means a gain in space.
4. Thermal comfort
With upholstery made of stone, pet or glass wool, they dampen the escape of sound and heat.
5. Flexibility in design
For those who want to make a switch from electric or hydraulic, just rip the part that is necessary to then easily and quickly rebuild the patch.
