Overview

"Drywallling" has become a common term for partitioning a space with gypsum products, we found out from Lafarge Gypsum that ceiling and partition systems have become a little more advanced than what we previously thought. We also seem to only associate partitioning systems with commercial applications; this is not true, as partitioning can allow a homeowner a lot of freedom in defining spaces within the home. Partitioning and ceiling systems can also include a host of technical properties including fire resistance, noise reduction and most importantly thermal insulation.
