plasterboard
Gypsum wall sheet
Plasterboard is a building material made of gypsum plaster pressed between two sheets of heavy paper, used for walls and ceilings.
It comes in large flat panels that are nailed or screwed to framing, then finished with joint compound to hide the seams.
Also called drywall, wallboard, or by the brand name Sheetrock.
