Drywall is a name commonly given to plasterboard walls, which is a material widely used to create walls and ceilings and is usually attached to brick. This variety of materials and uses means the fittings and fasteners used in conjunction with these is very important. Furthermore, these can be used in some challenging environments, mainly construction sites. Cavity walls require a similar amount of consideration when looking at fixings and fasteners. A cavity wall is a wall formed by an inner and outer skin, with a space or ‘cavity’ in between. The skins are usually masonry or brick, and the cavity can be used to drain water or to install insulation.drywall fixings and fasteners These specialist materials therefore require specialist fixings and fasteners. Plasterboard can be a delicate material that definitely needs to be used correctly, as mistakes are hard to cover up.
