Plasterboard is one of several names given to those thin sheets of gypsum that have replaced spread-on plaster in modern building materials. Other names include drywall and sheet rock. Whatever you call it, the sheets, generally in dimensions of 4-by-8 feet, attach to the joists of the ceiling. It isn't a complicated process but it can be physically difficult, since you have to hold the plasterboard pieces above your head.
