dry walls

Interior wall sheathing

Dry walls are interior walls constructed without wet materials like plaster or morite.

The term usually refers to walls made from prefabricated panels—typically gypsum board—nailed or screwed to studs.

To dry wall is to install such panels: We spent the weekend dry walling the basement.

Also written as one word: drywall.
