Amidst the immense possibility of constructive solutions, all have advantages and disadvantages, gains and limitations. Whether for economic reasons, deadlines, material availability, or spatial performance, each type of material responds to the project in a certain way and gives it a specific visual and environmental aspect. In general, multiple construction systems are required, enabling the offsetting of any shortcomings in one material through the performance of another. This approach ensures a balanced and effective implementation of diverse materials to address specific project requirements. Drywall panels, or drywall, are on this threshold between rejection and preference.
As the name implies, drywall offers an advantage by eliminating the need for water in construction, avoiding the curing process required for materials like concrete, and resulting in cleaner workspaces. Additionally, the construction involves metal studs to which gypsum boards are attached, enhancing execution speed. This quick turnaround is particularly beneficial when time is a critical factor. Nevertheless, it is crucial to recognize that gypsum, being a mineral-based material, carries a negative environmental impact. The extraction and calcination process it undergoes can lead to damages, and these may not be entirely mitigated in proportion to its production scale.
