So close, but missed the drywall

Drywall is an American expression is it not? I'd have said 'plasterboard'.

Nope, 2 different (albeit similar) things.

Are they?

Yup! Drywall paper lining is thicker than plasterboard so the plaster takes a lot longer to dry. There's also a different edging on each. Can't remember which way round it is, but one has a rounded edge and one has a more angled one.

I think...

Any plasterboard I've ever seen has a shallow bevel on the long edges to allow the Ames(?) tape guy to get a smooth finish.

Dammit, my curiosity is piqued, I'm now going to have to read up on the difference between plasterboard and drywall...curse you all...

The plot thickens, look at the B & Q website, they only sell plasterboard BUT they also sell :-

Drywall screws, saws, primer and sealer, oh my head hurts.

Is that not just "feather" or "taper" edge plasterboard?

[LordGrover]

I have no idea, but the Internets sounds reasonable:

...the terms are used interchangeably nowadays. 
Plasterboard used to be a rough textured sheet product used to provide a base for the final skim-coat plaster. 
After sheet rock was perfected in the mid 60s nobody used plasterboard anymore but the name stuck.

So what's the difference between drywall and sheet rock?

[Evangelion]

Sheet rock is what Motorhead play isn't it?

Plasterboard and drywall boards are the same thing.

The term 'drywalling' is when you use tapered boards and fill the gaps - I think the point is that you then don't need to skim plaster it.

Flat palsterboards generally gets skimmed.

AFAIK the terms drywalling in the Uk generally refers to 'tape and fill' but the boards are still usually called plasterboard. I spsoe it make sense to call the tapered ones drywall if they only get used for drywalling!

[Tom_C76]

Close, but the UK term is dry lining if the joints are taped on taper edge boards.

My brother used to be a plasterer, never understood why he jacked it in - everyone said his work was cracking.
