Remember this!
Drywall and wallboard are both types of building materials used for interior walls and ceilings. However, the difference between them lies in their composition, durability, cost, availability, and usage. Drywall is made of gypsum plaster and paper, less durable, less expensive, and more widely available and commonly used for interior walls and ceilings. On the other hand, wallboard is made of compressed wood fibers, more durable, more expensive, less commonly used, and may be used for other applications such as soundproofing or insulation.
