Drywall has been the standard wallboard material in America since the 1940s. It has dethroned plaster and lath as the favorite of homeowners largely because it’s easier to work with. The only option that rivals drywall in popularity its popularity is perhaps plywood, but drywall is still superior for a variety of reasons.
In today’s post, Universal Roofing and Exteriors, your expert drywall contractor, discusses three undisputed advantages of drywall over plywood:
Pocket-Friendly Price Compared with plywood, drywall offers the better trade-off between durability and affordability. To most people, the strength of plywood doesn’t justify its steep cost. Drywall appeals to every pocketbook and will remain in good condition for decades in both residential and commercial settings. In case of damage, any drywall sheet in disrepair is easy to fix. When you turn to a trusted professional to do the job, typical drywall repair projects are not time-consuming or disruptive.
Exceptional Fire Resistance When it comes to fire safety, drywall is the safest choice. Plywood is much more flammable than drywall. Made from a tough material called gypsum, drywall allows you to meet strict building codes.
Attractive Finish Covering your walls with drywall lends your interior a beautiful appearance. It provides paintable, seamless, smooth surfaces to give your space a sense of elegance. If you hire seasoned drywall painting experts, you can give each of your rooms its own charm and personality. When it comes to drywall, Universal Roofing and Exteriors does it all.
