Drywall, also known as plasterboard or gypsum wallboard, is a building material made of a paper liner wrapped around a core of gypsum plaster. It is lightweight, easy to install, and allows for smooth surfaces that make painting and installation of pipes and cables simpler and cheaper than other materials. Profiles made of galvanized steel are used to construct and support drywall partitions and suspended ceilings, with vertical studs, horizontal runners, main ceiling channels, furring channels, and wall angles providing structure.

2. DRY WALL
HISTORY
A drywall (gypsum
wallboard) panel is
made of a paper liner
wrapped around an
inner core made
primarily from gypsum
plaster

3. Today, drywall, wallboard,
whatever you choose to call it - is
found in most buildings and
homes.

4. WHY IS PLASTERBOARD SO
GOOD
Plasterboard is one of the most important
Decoration and Building Materials due to the
following reasons:
1 - Light Weight on Structure.
2 - Fast & Easy Installation.
3 - Give more spaces & areas.
4 - Smooth Surfaces which make Painting Works
faster & cheaper.

5. -Fast & Easy installation of
concealed water & electrical pipes &
cables.
-The ideal way to cover Air-
conditioning pipes & ducts in
ceilings & walls.
-Environmentally friendly due to
Plaster & Cardboard Specs.

6. PROFILES (WALL STUDS)
Profiles are building the under construction of Dry
Lining Constructions.
They are produced from zinc coated steel
(Galvanized)

7. PARTITION PROFILES
RUNNERS:
Horizontal profiles to fix the partition to
floor and ceiling

8. PARTITION PROFILES
STUDS:
Vertical profiles inserted into the
RUNNERS; bearing profiles of the
partition; used for fixing of partition
covering.

9. CEILING PROFILES
A suspended Ceiling is called a number of
other names as well, also Known, as a false
ceiling or secondary ceiling or a hung Ceiling.

10. CEILING PROFILES
MAIN CEILING CHANNEL:
The metal framing members of the
ceiling grid are called main ceiling
channel. Main ceiling channel or
hung from above by suspension
hanger. They run between the wall
angles and form the support
system for the suspended ceiling.

11. CEILING PROFILES
FURRING CHANNEL:
Furring + Main channel: ceiling
profiles which are inserted into UD
profiles; used as the upper/main
and lower/furring channel for
suspended ceilings. Plasterboard
cladding is fixed directly to them.

12. CEILING PROFILES
WALL ANGLE:
Wall Angle to fix the ceilings to
surrounding constructions.
They ensure a finished edge where the
ceiling meets the wall and establish the
level of ceiling.
