What's the difference (if any!) between a dry wall and a stud wall?

I thought a dry wall was one which is in a field and is constructed without using any cement to bond it together.

Thats a dry stone wall:|

I thing a dry wall is one that does'nt suffer from damp :run

 

[Doc Hudson]

Stud wall, I understand to be a hollow wood batten & stud construction with plaster board nailed or screwed to it. Dry wall? Do you mean a dry-lined wall where the brick work has sheets of plasterboard stuck to it, as compared to the traditional wet plaster with the bonding plaster then the finishing plaster.

I understand the Americans use the term 'dry wall' for what we call plasterboard.

stud wall is a wooden battened wall with plasterboard sheeting and plaster skimmed,

dry wall is usually metal framework with plasterboard covering, back to front with the tapered edges taped and filled and screw heads filled in using drywall filler, and NO plaster skim coating.

Yes agree 100%!

No - what you describe is 'dry lining'.

Drywall is plasterboard in America.

Someone else please google it............

Dry lining is dot & dab, dry wall is as steps said. We aren;t in America so their terminology isn;t all that important on the matter ATM TBH.
