Gypsum Sheet for Commercial, Industrial

For years, builders have created ceilings and walls using a variety of different gypsum Ceiling and hanging techniques. Whether you simply nail the boards to the rafters or you create a false ceiling, gypsum board — also known as wallboard, plasterboard, sheet rock, and buster board — has long been the standard in building materials.

However, as design and manufacturing has evolved, many alternatives to gypsum boards have been developed. So while gypsum panels are a great way to add acoustic and stylistic benefits to a space, other materials can bring additional benefits to a building’s design.

Before we get into alternatives, let’s take a closer look at gypsum board ceilings and walls.

Gypsum Ceiling is commonly known as sheetrock or plasterboard. It gets its name because it has a natural gypsum core with a paper facing on either side. It can be sold in large sheets designed for nailing straight to the joists in the ceiling or as perforated gypsum ceiling tiles that can be suspended across the ceiling and applied to studs for walls and partitions.

Gypsum Ceiling is available in several different variations. This includes some that are best suited for use in spaces like bathrooms, others that have greater fire resistance, great for commercial kitchens or multifamily residential projects, or perforated acoustic gypsum board for spaces that see high noise levels.
