Gypsum is a soft mineral composed of calcium sulfate dihydrate that is widely mined and used as a fertilizer and in various forms of plaster and drywall. Drywall, also known as plasterboard or gypsum board, is a panel made of gypsum plaster pressed between thick paper sheets that is commonly used to make interior walls and partitions. It has advantages like being light weight, fire resistant, durable, and reusable. Gypsum board installation involves fixing U-profiles, attaching staples, installing insulation, screwing boards to frames, coating surfaces, and allowing drying time between coats. Gypsum board is also widely used in false ceilings where it is attached to metal frameworks to provide an elegant ceiling design.

CHARACTERISTICS OF GYPSUM BOARD
ECO FRIENDLY LIGHT WEIGHT
Gypsum boards are an eco-friendly product, as they are not Gypsum boards are extremely light weight as compared to the made up of any harmful materials. They do not produce conventional concrete walls. They are very easy to transport any harmful particles during installation. Gypsum Boards and install; and put very less load on the ceiling. Making it an do not pose any threat to human health as well as the ideal material for false ceiling and internal wall partitioning. environment.
FIRE RESISTANT MULTIPURPOSE BOARDS
One of the qualities which makes FR gypsum boards such Gypsum boards are available in different forms and can be used a useful product is that they are highly fire resistant. With for specific purposes for False ceiling and Partitions. Moisture proper standardized process, FR gypsum boards can Resistant Boards, Fire Resistant Gypsum Boards, Sound Block provide a fire rating protection ranging from 60 - 120 Boards, Acoustic Full tone Gypsum boards are some examples Minutes. of Gypsum boards made for specific purposes.
HIGHLY DURABLE REUSABLE
Gypsum boards are robust in nature, require minimum If removed with care, Gypsum boards and the metal maintenance and offer a high life expectancy. Gypsum framework can be reused up to a greater extent.

Drywall advantages • Light weight systems – 8 to 10 times lighter than conventional systems like Brick / Block work. • Faster construction – Five to eight times faster. • drywall is installed easily • Superior acoustics performance in terms of insulation with insulation rating up to 74 db. • Tested and certified systems to give between ½ – 4-hour fire ratings. • Smooth finish, aesthetically beautiful crack free surfaces. • Green and recyclable product.
Drywall disadvantages • As a rule of thumb, drywall is not resistant to water. When installed in bathrooms, basements, or other high moisture rooms, its condition might be affected. • Without plastering over the drywall, the surface will be prone to damage. Drywall can be easily damaged since it’s not resistant to impact. • Although drywall is installed rather easily, the experts must be committed techs because drywall finishing must be done correctly, or you will have problems with the joints or tapes later.

Gypsum Board Installation • LINE MARKING • Fixing U-Profiles U-profiles are mounted to the floor and ceiling with the help of dowels + screws + washers using a drill. • Fixing The Staples The appropriate staples selected according to the distance between the cladding wall and the building wall are fixed to the wall using dowels and screws. • Installation Works And Insulation Electrical wiring and plumbing should be done before placing the panels. For instance, in order to hide the maintenance of your plumbing or electrical system, you can use an access panel system. • Plasterboard Screwing Fixing the gypsum boards is done to the U and C profiles along the edges of the gypsum board with the screws using a drill or hammer. When screwing, make sure that the screw gaps are not more than 30 cm and that the screws are screwed off properly. When screwing, the screws should not be closer than 1 cm to the edges of the gypsum board. • Coating and Finishing Surface You need to patch holes or fill cracks in the corner. For easier and cleaner finishing surface, you can use the all-purpose ready mix joint compound for instance. After the first drying, a second layer of joint compound must be necessary. Also, note that, depending on temperature and humidity, the drying time can vary between 12 and 24 hours. To finish, Then, you can start to paint your gypsum board.

FALSE CEILING Gypsum board is widely used in false ceiling. They are attached to the ceiling using a G.I framework. The installation of Gypsum Board false ceiling is very economical, convenient and time saving. It gives the ceiling a clean and elegant look. Gypsum boards can be cut into any shape such as circles, curves, crisscross lines etc. to incorporate stylish designs. Gypsum boards also help in improving the ambient lighting by incorporating Cove lights or Profile Lights. With an additional layer of Insulation material such as Glasswool, Rockwool or Polywool, Gypsum board false ceiling helps in improving the resistance properties towards heat, thermal and sound

CASE STUDY Weldon Church of England Primary School Gypsum fibre dry lining boards have helped a specialist timber frame manufacturer make a promising start in a new sector. Scotts of Thrapston in Northamptonshire have 95 years’ expertise in the equestrian and garden buildings sector but recently decided to try and break into the education sector by supplying modular classroom buildings. They specified 153 of 1200mm x 2400mm x 12.5mm boards for their first such project, Weldon Church of England Primary School, in their home county, and have not looked back since, also using fermacell for another school and an office building. The panels were used to line the walls and ceilings of a £175,000 replacement for a 20-year-old modular building at Weldon in Corby, where pupil numbers have doubled to 200+ in just over 40 years, and have been used throughout the classroom, a group room, lobby, toilets and storeroom. The 18.5m x 6.5m building, which is also clad in timber and roofed in coated steel profiled panels, was constructed as a flat pack over two weeks at Scotts’ production facility in Thrapston, then transported by truck to Weldon and erected by a team of four men using an all-terrain fork lift truck in just six weeks during term time.

CASE STUDY The Portland Collection Gallery Gypsum fiberboard panels were specified for the new home of one of the most historically significant private collections of fine and decorative arts, for their loading capabilities at least.
Some 4,000m2 board was used to dry-line the walls, ceilings,
bulkheads and external soffits of the award-winning gallery, the new home of the 5,000-strong Portland Collection, on the historic Welbeck estate in Nottinghamshire.
Designed by Hugh Broughton Architects, better known for the
Halley VI relocatable research station in Antarctica, the £5 million gallery, which exhibits a rarely-shown Michelangelo drawing and a pearl earring worn by Charles I at his execution, is located within the historic walls of the so-called Tan Gallop, a former indoor ¼ mile racehorse training arena.
