Drywall Installation: Mistakes to avoid
An essential step in interior design, the installation of drywall is quick to implement but requires an expert technique, often neglected by amateurs. Here are the 5 most common mistakes not to make for a perfect drywall installation!
The installation of plasterboard, commonly called drywall, is a quick and easy operation that allows you to create or renovate a room quickly.
Nevertheless, a certain know-how is necessary to avoid the unsightly marks and lack of aesthetics on your new walls.Here are the top five mistakes to avoid when installing drywall properly.
Mistake 1: choosing the wrong product
An inexpensive or low-end material generally does not last over time and does not offer a very aesthetic, final result. On the other hand, a material not designed for the intended use degrades quickly.
The drywall is no exception to these basic rules of construction. One of the most common mistakes in plasterboarding is choosing the wrong product and / or not taking into account the characteristics of the destination room. In general, it is recommended to choose plates with a minimum thickness of 12.5 mm.
Mistake 2: bad support
Metal frames and other supports for plasterboard must be very stable and perfectly fixed to avoid the formation of cracks. It is essential to use a spirit level and a ruler. This is all the more true when it comes to installing a partition in the attic, under the roof. The support must be designed in a sturdy material (metal or wood) to withstand the tensions and vibrations due to the movements of the frame.
Mistake 3: rushing through the finishing touches
Once the actual plasterboard installation is done, comes the finishing step. There is no point in properly installing your partition if this step is sloppy. After meticulously brushing and letting their premium paint undercoat to dry, a good painter begins by scraping, recoating and clearing the corners.
The installation of a masking tape is necessary to avoid any overflow at the level of the ceiling, other walls and floor. The surface is covered with a roller crossing the bands and applying the paint from top to bottom; which makes it possible to immediately see the drips. If you prefer wallpaper, remember to paste the wall well for a faster installation and to avoid the formation of bubbles.
Finishing, painting, and tapestries are delicate steps, to be carried out calmly and in the right order.
