In terms of their materials, drywall walls are not as stable as walls made of solid construction. As a result, they are not able to withstand a high load. If you want to hang heavy objects on the wall, the solid construction is an advantage. However, drywall is always suitable for attaching pictures or light shelves.
 
Solid construction walls also have advantages in terms of fire protection and soundproofing. Dry construction walls are of high quality, but are a little less sound-proof compared to solid construction walls. They should therefore only be used within a residential unit, but not as a partition wall to neighboring apartments.
