Drywall, Gypsum and Plaster in Palma de Mallorca

Gypsum is a very popular building material due, among other things, to its versatility. It is normal to buy bags of powdered gypsum, since it is the ground material that is mixed with water to create a mass that can be used directly.

The most common is to use the gypsum as a plastering material for the walls. In this way we obtain that the walls look smoother and that they acquire a greater hardness.

Drywall is a building material derived from gypsum, composed of laminated gypsum boards. In this case it is dehydrated gypsum and covered with a special layer that makes it resistant to being compressed and bent. Despite being a light and flexible material, as it is not as hard as gypsum, it is more economical and saves money compared to other materials.

Drywall is a material widely used nowadays due to its various properties as a construction material. In addition to being resistant to compression, its insulating properties make it a very suitable material for thermal and acoustic insulation.

Cosendra uses drywall in Palma de Mallorca constantly nowadays, as we usually install it to build partitions, ceilings and walls in all types of buildings, such as commercial premises, homes, offices or any other type of property.

Plaster is a type of gypsum that is purer than traditional gypsum and is also used in all types of works and integral refurbishments.

Just like normal gypsum, plaster usually comes in powder form and can be mixed with water to obtain a paste that allows us to do very fine and resistant work.

One of the most widespread uses of plaster is the manufacture of decorative pieces. This is due to the fact that plaster-based paste is highly malleable, so we can create all kinds of mouldings to decorate columns and lattices, among other elements.
