Get out of here, who is building a home out of cardboard?

Drywall is two sheets of paper/cardboard cladding (increasingly) low density gypsum.

Soundproofing material is also often made of cardboard (though we do have alternatives for that, unlike drywall).

  • Right, so the house is not constructed out of cardboard. Soundproofing in my part of the US is often rockwool and not cardboard.

    • Well it contains cardboard and wood, so it's made of cardboard and wood, among other non-flammables. If I say the house I live in is made of stone, brick, cement and rocks, obviously you know it has windows and insulation, and whatnot. It's still made of stone.
