Drywall (gesso acartonado)


Explanation:
Drywall é uma tecnologia que substitui a alvenaria convencional nas vedações internas (paredes, tetos e revestimentos) de edifícios de quaisquer tipos, consistindo de chapas de gesso acartonado fixadas em estruturas de perfis de aço galvanizado.

O sistema Dry Wall consiste numa edificação de paredes de gesso acartonado que são mais leves e com espessuras menores. São chapas fabricadas industrialmente mediante um processo de laminação contínua de uma mistura de gesso, água e aditivos entre duas lâminas de cartão, onde uma é virada nas bordas longitudinais e colada sobre a outra.
