Sheetrock is another name for drywall. It is a type of gypsum board that is attached directly to the studs on the wall. The drywall can then be painted to the desired color. Sheetrock comes in four-by-eight foot sections, in thicknesses ranging from 1/4-inch to 3/4-inch. After it is installed, it is necessary to add joint compound over the seams. This compound can be formed into various designs and made to look bubbly. These designs are most often done on the ceilings of houses.
