How to install drywall?

The basic principles of simple drywall installation are not overly complex. First, you measure the wall, then measure and cut your piece of sheetrock, and then screw it into place onto the studs of the wall. However, it is important to consider the type of finish you would like for your drywall project before you get started. This quick method of installation would be fine for a warehouse backroom, or any other space that is not noticeable. For finer projects such as homes or places of business it’s always wise to have a licensed contractor install your drywall. Using a contractor will also ensure the taping and finishing of your project will go much smoother as well. For more information on this process you can give us a call today.

How to repair drywall?

Drywall repairs can be performed in various manners, depending on the size, variety, and location of the damage. Dents can be smoothed over with compund and sanded smooth, while cracks and holes require more work. Holes that are smaller than 8"x 8" can usually be patched with a fibreglass patch, then mudded and sanded. Larger holes will need to be cut out by section and replaced. Repairs to cracks can vary drastically depending on the size and location. For more information check out our drywall repair page , or feel free to contact us!

When people talk about mud and drywall, they are referring to the process of using a wet drywall compound that looks like a white type of mud. Drywall mud is used to fill in cracks and to smooth over taped areas. This wet compound requires a minimum drying time of 24 hours. Once it is dried it can then be carefully sanded until a smooth and uniform finish is achieved.

Drywall Insulation

Drywall insulation is a common practice and one that we recommend having done. The primary reason for installing insulation is to improve energy efficiency, this especially holds true for exterior walls. By having insulation installed between your walls and in your ceilings, it helps to retain heated and cooled air inside the insulation where it should be. This helps to regulate and maintain the temperature in your home or business, while at the same time decreasing your energy bill in the process.
