How Augustine Sackett Revolutionized Construction with Drywall
At Paramount Drywall Services Inc., we’re proud to work with a material that changed the construction world: drywall. This essential innovation traces back to Augustine Sackett, who invented the “Sackett Board” in 1894.
The Birth of Modern Drywall
Sackett’s creation—a layer of plaster between wool felt paper—was the precursor to today’s drywall. It offered a faster, more affordable, and fire-resistant alternative to traditional plaster walls, revolutionizing construction. Over time, this evolved into the gypsum-based drywall we use today, with over 6,000 feet produced annually worldwide.
Honoring a Legacy
Drywall is a cornerstone of modern construction, valued for its efficiency and versatility. At Paramount Drywall Services Inc., we bring Sackett’s innovation to life every day, crafting flawless walls and ceilings for homes and businesses.
