While drywall, or gypsum board, does give insulation value it is not a high amount, a 1/2" piece of drywall will only raise the r-value by .45, if you are looking to improve the insulation of a wall you are much better off using rigid foam insulation. An extruded polystyrene board, that's Styrofoam, of 1" thickness gives you an R-value of 5.00, which is over 5 times greater per inch than that of drywall. You can further improve the insulation value of a wall by add some kind of batt insulation in-between the studs.

Is dry air conductor or insulator?
Dry air is an insulator. it does not conduct electricity.
Is dry wood an insulator or a conductor?
Dry wood is an insulator because it does not conduct electricity well. The low moisture content in dry wood prevents the flow of electrical current through it.

Is cavity wall insulation a conductor or insulator?
Cavity wall insulation is an insulator. It is designed to fill the gap between the walls, providing thermal resistance to reduce heat loss in buildings.

How do I change the color of a dry wall?
Paradigm Paint is good for painting the dry wall and it will change the dry wall and it is good quality and it is of best quality and less expensive and best on my opinion.
Is a piece of wood an insulator or a conductor?
A piece of wood is an insulator because it does not allow electricity to flow through it easily. Wood has high resistance to electrical current, unlike conductors such as metal.
