The downside it more drywall compound and sanding. |

That looks like what's on the oldest walls in my 1947 house. It's rock-hard and weighs a ton; I can see why they didn't use 4x8 sheets. Every one of those walls is skim-coated with plaster. Our bathroom was different: metal lath nailed to the studs and covered with a buttload of plaster underneath the tiles. Cindy Hamilton |

Cindy Hamilton That was the way they did bathrooms before the advent of cement board and water resistant drywall. In Florida my Mom's whole apartment had that kind of walls. It was a way to deal with potential flooding. There was a gap under the base board to allow the water to drain. In my addition the block walls are covered with stucco on both sides. The inside is skim coated with white plaster like drywall over the normal brown coat. |

Cindy Hamilton We called the smaller sheet-rock panels "lath" - but "plaster & lath" usually refers to the older type of lath - with the thin wood slats .. might be a regional terminology ? The lath panels of the early 1960's often contain asbestos - as could the plaster. https://www.asbestos.net/products/drywall/ John T. |

Cindy Hamilton Theree was a lot of "GypRoc" used as lath for plaster in the 40a and 50s. It mafe plastering a lot faster, easier, and cheaper than using metal lath or slats |
