Why is it called construction paper?

I believe I have answered your question in the second section.Sidious1701 01:21, 1 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Could be right, but needs sourcing. I don't think WP is supposed to speculate, too much like OR. Thanks, though. Esquizombi 07:41, 13 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Why is it called sugar paper? And shouldn't there be a redirect from that name? -- 82.46.154.93 20:16, 8 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Is it possible that construction paper is related to, or the same thing as, rosin paper -- and that therefore relates to building construction? "Red rosin paper is useful in a wide variety of construction applications including roofing, flooring and as a general jobsite protective covering" [1]. [2] describes a kind of "construction paper" which is "also known as red rosin." Other than that, I don't see anything definitively saying construction paper is related to rosin paper in general, but this seems suggestive. 24.159.255.29 04:38, 11 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I think it is called "sugar paper" because it was once used to wrap sugar. I have no references for this and don't know if it is true. — Paul G 07:30, 6 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

"How construction paper is made" section[edit]

Isn't that just a description of how paper is made? I mean, most kinds of paper? Perhaps the difference is that it isn't finished with bleach or clay or pressing or other such niceties. 81.131.40.93 (talk) 17:50, 24 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
