Drywall is a material that is used as an interior wall covering. Also known as gypsum or wall board, drywall has a gypsum core that is covered by paper on both sides. When finished and painted, drywall gives the appearance of a plastered wall. Drywall comes in sheets, with the most common size being 4 x 8 feet, which means that the joints between each sheet must be filled to give a seamless appearance. Certain tools are needed to get a professional looking job.
