shaping of interior surfaces, allowing the maximum in design flexibility. Gypsum board is an economical alternative to other products. Because it is lightweight, it is easy to handle for speedy
installation. With its natural properties, it is durable yet easy to repair. In addition, gypsum board's fire resistance and sound control capabilities further demonstrate its desirability in
building systems.
