Basics
- A general term for materials used to:
- Make structural walls more aesthetically appealing
- Increase Insulation (Sound, Thermal...)
- Make adding temporary fixtures easier (Cement Block Screws vs a Nail for hanging photos etc)
- Examples Include:
- Carpet (Think of that grey/black carpet used to cover the insides of vehicles etc)
- Plaster Board
- Paneling (Wood, Plastic, or Composite)
- Some sort of Engineered Wood product such as Homasote , Masonite, etc
Most Common
Plaster Board
- Most USA Homes use "Drywall" which is a Plaster Board sometimes with added fibers and Flame Retardant
- This is often made with
- Pulped Paper Recycling
- "New" Gypsum Powder
- Recycled Gypsum
- Other additives
- Mostly renewable?
- Also gypsum seems to be VERY common and mined in quarries
- Main issue with drywall seems to be it is hard to produce small scale?
- It is fire-resistant (need to get more hard info)
- Hard to tell as it is often used with wood framing, and has paper backing on both sides
Simple Washes/Paint
- A Thin Coat of Plaster, or Paint
- Improves aesthetics, doesn't add much else, but is easy to do
- Would make nails still not very practical (need to dig for info)
Engineered Wood
- Would easy to make small scale, main issue is Flammability
- MAY be able to use some sort of Flame Retardant in the mix?
- Also would work well with other needed workflows:
Internal Links
- Cement Board (See Also/Merge With "Plaster Board" once that page is made?)
- Laminated Ferrocement
External Links
- The Wikipedia Page on This Category
- On the difficulty of hanging things in masonry walls (also goofy bit on european culture compared to USA Culture)
