At KJ Drywall Supply, we supply gypsum board products designed to meet the needs of builders, contractors, and homeowners. Known for their versatility, fire resistance, and ease of installation, gypsum boards are a cornerstone of modern interior construction. Our gypsum boards are from premium brands such as USG, NATIONAL GYPSUM and CERTAINTEED.
Gypsum board, often referred to as drywall, plasterboard or sheetrock, is a panel made of a gypsum core encased in paper or fiberglass. It is widely used for interior walls and ceilings in both residential and commercial buildings due to its durability and adaptability.
