Dry wall

I saw somewhere that the Spanish word for dry wall is mampostería, but dictionaries disagree. Is the best term panel de yeso?

"Mampostería" is done with stones or bricks.
I've seen "pánel de yeso" somewhere, but in Mexico, drywall is commonly said "tablaroca" (pronounced as if it were "rr" instead of "r").


-Hice un cuarto nuevo con muros de tablaroca.
-La sala tiene un mueble de tablaroca para la televisión.
-Los acabados de tablaroca son más modernos que los que había en la casa.


- Instalaron unos páneles de yeso para separar los cuartos.
- Lo más fácil es separar la cocina con un pánel de yeso.
- La fachada está revestida con páneles de yeso.

I never heard tablaroca, but I've heard panel de yeso, or PLADUR, Pladur is very common nowadays
