Drywall A Common And Very Important Building Material
We have all probably used drywall at one time or another in our lives and we know what it takes to finish the stuff even if we have never touched. We know that it goes on all inside walls and that it wont hold heavier hangings like shelves and large pictures and so we need to find the studs beneath. We may have also had experience repairing a hole that was intentionally or unintentionally placed in a wall. Plaster work is definitely something that takes practice but thankfully it is sandable and therefore our mistakes are not permanent. But we probably dont know why it is used, and I am here to change that.
Drywall the most commonly used interior wall covering throughout the world for several reasons. First and probably foremost is that it is cheap. It is simply gypsum which is a ubiquitous and easily obtained substance sandwiched between two sheets of heavy paper which gives the drywall stability. The material is easy to work with and therefore very useful across a wide range of applications. It also provides a nice finished surface that is very paintable and also repairable.
Another reason why drywall is used is that it provides a barrier to the movement of fire through a house or building. Its endothermic properties allow it to at least slow a fires progression and are given to it by the water that is contained within it. This water must be heated and evaporated before the fire is able to raise the temperature of drywall to its kindling point and also affect the temperature of the next room over. One must keep in mind that it is only a barrier and that in order to prevent the fire from moving quickly from one room to the next you have to block off all other routes. Therefore any vents must be properly insulated, any other holes must be sealed tight by either plaster or some other fire retardant.
Drywall comes in 4 x 8 foot sheets and is quickly hung by drywall hangers. This is the process of attaching the drywall to the bare stud of all inside wall surfaces as well as the ceilings. Holes are cut for all receptacles and windows and doors. The mudders then come and tape all of the seams and mud them. This is then sanded down and provides the smooth surface that we are all used to in a new or newly renovated home.

Easy to assemble and neatly tidies away shoes, including boots, but does not suit our old cottage, it's too modern.

I leaned back and unfortunately caused two stress fractures in the seat back. Will brace the fractures and re-paint the breaks. Otherwise, the pop-up tray is versatile and the bench seat is solid.

The kids constantly had their helmets, baseball gloves etc all over the deck at the cabin. I ordered this stylish storage bin so I didn't have to look at it. It looks great on the deck and serves as an extra seat too! It was super easy to put together and just looks like another piece of furniture!

It's a lot smaller than I thought it would be, but it's perfect for the minimalist decor I have going on, and I can put succulents (real or fake) in!

Easy to put together, lovely to use. Looks way more expensive than it actually is, and is super comfortable Going to get a lot of use out of this set this summer and beyond

Bought last year. Fiddly construction but once you’ve completed one, the others are easier to build. Sturdy seating and comfy cushions. The only thing I’d prefer would be for the back of the seating to be higher

I really wanted the turquoise one, but was told they were out, so they sent a brown, wooden one. Next thing I see is a newer ad that shows the turquoise one I wanted on sale and available. This was only a week or so later!! I got it on sale, only this newer one was even less! I'm so disappointed!

Easy to hang and beautiful decorations! The planters are TINY - we had to find some very small plants at a local garden center to use.

I love the look of these. In the picture they appear to have a gloss on them which I liked for rain, or easy wipe off, but they don't actually have that sheen. There are a few spots on them that did not get stained well, so the color is not completely even. They are very comfortable, but creak quite a bit when sitting and getting up. I don't believe they are really heavy duty like they look. It is nice to have the large arms on them to put a plate or drink.

Fantastic item, only 1 slight problem when installing the hinges DO NOT follow the instructions and use the longer screws as stated as they are too long in 1 of the holes.... use the smaller screws!!!

Arrived swiftly and looks good but the quality is cheap. The table wobbles - disappointing as there’s only 3 items in the order! Is it worth £280? No! Wish I hadn’t purchased. Can’t return because it’s big, heavy and probably costly to do so.

Is as described and fairly straightforward to put together. Just be aware that whilst there is free delivery over £40, if you change your mind you'll be response for return costs, which for furniture can be quite pricey.

Love it! It’s the perfect little swing for my backyard. Not a super huge fan of how the chain connects, but the price makes it worth it.

Love the size and tropical look of these chairs! They fit under my patio table nicely and the fact that they also have arms is a real plus.
