7 Drywall Types, Benefits and Uses
|
For most of you who do not know this, sheetrock is a panel used in the construction of interior walls. It is made of calcium sulphate dehydrate and comes in several types and sizes. It is important for you to have your wallboard installed by a professional company because a quack might install it incorrectly or even install the wrong wallboard.
It's Affordable - Sheetrock is used in interior design and we all know how expensive interior design is. However, the good thing about plasterboard is that it comes in different heights, thickness and density. This means there is a price for everyone. Features determine the price, so to keep your cost low, you’ll want to choose a basic board. |
|
Another factor that makes this an affordable investment is the fact that the boards are lightweight in nature, meaning you do not require any special power tools to install them. In most cases, you will only need a small team from Berta Drywall Pros to fit the board.
Can Offer Soundproofing Properties - The reason why we say “can “rather than will is because this is mostly dependent on the kind of board installed. Some offer better soundproofing properties than others. The boards provide soundproof properties because they reduce the capability of sound to travel from one room to another. Some types are known to reduce noise by more than 80%.
In addition, they also provide some thermal insulation properties. This is because they create an extra layer in your walls that will prevent heated air from escaping and cool air from entering the house.
It is fire resistant - Fire-resistant boards are ideal to have in a home as it creates a barrier between it and other flammable materials in the wall. In fact, some boards have been designed to have higher fire ratings to offer additional safety.
Best For People With Mold Allergy - If you have a mold allergy, then it is advisable to have a gypsum board installed. This is because it absorbs moisture in the walls and between studs which decreases the chances of mold forming.

Drywall FAQs
Question: Can Drywall Primer Be Used On Wood?
Answer: The golden rule of using a primer is that it should not be used on surfaces that have already been painted. It should also not be used on surfaces that have visible stains and an uneven appearance. The primary use of a primer is to create a seal surface so that the final paint has a uniform and smooth finish. Exterior surfaces should not use a primer as they are exposed to UV rays and other harsh conditions such as moisture. Sheetrock primers are best used in metal works, masonry and woodwork. The type of primer to use will depend on the surface:
• Bare Wood: This will require you to use a wood primer
• New Wallboard: Use a primer
• Bare Metal: Use a metal primer to prevent rust
• Stains: Use a stain-blocking primer
Question: Will Drywall Adhesive Stick To Wood?
Answer: Drywall adhesive is used for interior wall construction and ceiling construction. One of the main benefits for using this adhesive is that it is easy to use and is less costly when doing your home repairs. It also saves on the time it takes to hammer nails on your walls and also to screw them. The secret to using a wallboard adhesive is to use the right glue base on its intended application.
If you are looking for an interior gypsum board adhesive, consider a latex-based glue. They are suitable for use in bonding plasterboard, wood and galvanized steel. It can also be used on ceiling surfaces, aluminum surfaces and foam boards. The main feature to look out for when using a plasterboard adhesive is a moisture-proof feature because it is reduces sound transmission.
Question: Will Drywall Mud Stick To Concrete?
Answer: When we talk about mud, we are not referring to ordinary mud. In masonry, this is a mixture of gypsum and water. The mud is used together with fiber or paper to insulate houses. Water in the mud will evaporate and after that, it will dry and harden. While using mud, keep in mind that you are required to use three layers for stability.
Mud will stick to concrete. However, you must ensure you use a bonding agent on the cement before applying your mud. Otherwise, it will not hold. To apply the wallboard mud, spread it evenly and when it dries, give it a tight coat. To get a smooth finish, make sure to sand the walls until you are satisfied with the quality. If there are any pockmarks, it means air bubbles cant be absorbed into the surface.
Question: What is a Paint Primer?
Answer: A primer is sometimes known as an undercoat. This is applied to plasterboard to ensure there is a better adhesion of paint and also to make it more durable. It is important to ensure that your contractor uses a primer to offer additional protection to the wall.
Question: Are there Harmful Paints?
Answer: Yes, if the painter is not aware of volatile organic compounds {VOC}, then he/she might unwillingly cause kidney failure or throat irritation. This is because these solvents are emitted in the air years after the paint has dried. Other side effects of inhaling this gas include eye irritation, nose irritation and headaches.
Question: Which are the Common Types of Paint?
Answer: Though there are different variations of paint, the most common type of paint is oil paint. It would be applied in three coats, starting with a primer, undercoat and finish. This is the most common type of paint because it is affordable and gives out a glossy finish.
