Drywall
Drywall (also known as plasterboard, wallboard, gypsum board) is a panel made of gypsum plaster pressed between two thick sheets of paper. It is used to make interior walls and ceilings. Drywall construction became prevalent as a speedier alternative to traditional lath and plaster.
In many places, the product is sold under the trademarks Sheetrock,Gyproc. In the United Kingdom, Australia and New Zealand the category is known as plasterboard.
History
The first plasterboard plant in the UK was opened in 1888 in Rochester, Kent. Sackett Board was invented in 1894 by Augustine Sackett and Fred Kane. It was made by layering plaster within four plies of wool felt paper. Sheets were 36" × 36" × 1/4" thick with open (untaped) edges.
Gypsum Board evolved between 1910 and 1930 beginning with wrapped board edges, and elimination of the two inner layers of felt paper in favour of paper-based facings. In 1910 United States Gypsum Corporation bought Sackett Plaster Board Company and by 1917 came out with a product they called Sheetrock. Providing efficiency of installation, it was developed additionally as a measure of fire resistance. Later air entrainment technology made boards lighter and less brittle, then joint treatment materials and systems also evolved.
Drywall (musical project)
Drywall is a musical project of Los Angeles singer-songwriter Stan Ridgway, which he has variously described as an "electro/experimental noise combo," a "mad apocalyptic project," and "an experiment in terror, a collection of rants, laments and media overload."
Ridgway began the project in 1994 as a trio; with himself on electric guitar, keyboards and vocals, his wife Pietra Wexstun on synthesizer and backing vocals, and former Rain Parade drummer Ivan Knight. In 1995, Drywall released its first album (first of a "trilogy of apocalyptic documents"), titled Work The Dumb Oracle. The second "apocalyptic document," a 30-minute "art film" directed by Carlos Grasso titled The Drywall Incident, was released the same year. An extended, instrumental soundtrack album for The Drywall Incident was released in 1996.
After an extended layoff, Drywall regrouped with a new lineup in 2005 to release the album Barbeque Babylon, the third "apocalyptic document." The new Drywall lineup featured Ridgway, Wexstun and new member Rick King on guitars and bass. Though not an official member of the band, Bruce Zelesnik was also featured on drums and percussion.
