Around here, brick and mortar is the convension. Drywalls might be used
internally for partions.
It's generally 12.7mm gypsum[plaster] board [single or double layer] fixed
to the studs.
No way one should use that stuff in any wet area. Perhaps suitable grade ply
direct to studs, and tanked, would do!
What is the material of your >>1/2" drywall surface.<< ?
