Dry wall partition system is widely used in offices and residential buildings for its easiness of installation. Dry wall partition system is made of durable galvanized steel. Usually it uses gypsum boards as surface material. Compared with wooden board, Gypsum boards can provide a safer and fire-resistive wall.
Drywall are easy to be placed and also need less labor as compared to masonry construction. Also in masonry construction, work needs to be done faster to hand over the job for electrical wiring and other services. While with Drywall, such services like electrical are offered in the system itself. This makes the process easy and quick.
Masonry i.e. brick and block construction is quite a laborious task which requires ample of water curing. Whereas with Drywall (as name suggests), is a water free application. It therefore can be put up much faster and also is an easier process
Drywalls are 8 to 10 times lighter than masonry walls. This lessens a lot of load of the structure. Drywalls are an advantage especially for high-rise structures where not only structural cost is reduced, but also the burden of moving up the heavy material. Studies have shown that having Drywalls saves upto 15% cost.
Offer exceptional acoustic insulation (you can call it sound insulators). They prevent sound movement from one room to other.It can deliver almost 70dB+ level of sound insulation.
Drywalls can withhold fire resistance for almost 4 hours of stability, integrity and insulation. In case fire breaks out, it can be confined to certain area, which gives enough time to the occupants to evacuate the structure.
Drywalls have low thrermal conductivity but high thermal resistance. This property lowers electrical consumption, reducing the load on air-conditioning units.
Can take all types of finishes i.e. like paint or wallpaper or laminates, etc.
Drywall Interior Partitions are strong and full-bodied and can characteristically last for lifetime of a building unless they are subjected to alteration.
Lastly, drywalls are super cost effective alternative to masonry walls that takes time to build. In comparison to wooden partitions too, Drywalls prove to be much safer and cheaper. Say if a wooden partition is costing you around Rs.50,000 , then the same thing will cost Rs.10,000 if Gypsum board or Drywall is used. Also Wooden partitions can pose a fire threat and are poor sound insulators
Drywall is truly a wall system consisting of GI steel frame which is encased in gypsum plasterboard. The Drywalls are attached to each other on either side with self-drilling drywall screws.For huge partitions and walls, the joints are taped and finished with gypsum jointing compounds.
