Plaster? What is it anyway?

First of all, let's understand what gypsum is. Gypsum is a lightweight building material, made from a natural mineral. It comes in the form of boards, which are attached to a metal frame. Gypsum walls are easy to install, relatively inexpensive, and provide good thermal and acoustic insulation. However, they are less strong than concrete walls, so you need to be careful when placing heavy weight on them, such as a television.
