In America, drywall has been used since the forties of the twentieth century. As now, then the main spheres of its application were the construction of interior or office partitions, decoration and alignment of walls, dry construction.
A special plasterboard profile appeared later, at the beginning the sheets were mounted on a wooden crate. Scenes of Hollywood blockbusters with piercing walls with human bodies, for the “soviet” resident, are absolutely wild, Western cinemas are watching quite indifferently, because almost everyone in real life has cases when, according to someone’s negligence or stupidity, a plasterboard septum or sheathing crackled, and then And they received holes. Repair of this kind of damage is not particularly difficult, therefore it does not cause any special feelings.
In the Soviet Union, the use of dry construction mainly consisted in the device of gypsum interior partitions and the production of gypsum ceiling plates. Of course, there were pompous stucco ceilings in the Baroque style, and the architecture of small forms (“Girl with the oar”, “Pioneer with a mountain”, “Stakhanovets with a junk hammer”), but basically it concerned either administrative and public buildings, or Elite housing of Soviet society. In this regard, a case of life is recalled: the village apertor of one of the party leaders came to the capital and spent the night with a high -ranking relative. The villain was placed in a hall decorated with a rich stucco. In the middle of the night, the peasant woke up and thought for a long time at which station he found himself, since he saw such splendor finishes only at the central railway stations.
Plasterboard structures are considered quite safe in relation to the environmental aspects of their application, since all the components from which they are made are either natural (gypsum itself) or are of little affected by external factors (a profile galvanized for drywall), or are made with the minimum use of harmful ones chemicals (cardboard, special ingredients of water -repellent and fire retardant types of sheets).
Although some designers argue that drywall has already fed up with all the order and it is necessary to use supernovers of the construction market or something like fibrolyte, artificial stone or composite plastic plates of reinforced with carbon nanotics, most market participants are quite satisfied with this building material.
