Proper Drywalling and Taping Installation
After insulation is complete, you’re ready for drywall.
- It’s integral to the performance of the wall system to select the correct drywall type for the application and joist/truss span.
- Drywall is hung horizontally and joint-staggered
- Drywall sheets span all doors and windows. Depending on the framing material, it’s important to use the correct thread-type for your fasteners (screws).
- Joint gaps wider than 1/8 inch receive pre-fill, a hot-mud material such as CGC Sheet Rock 20 to eliminate air blisters in joint tape.
- Paper tape is always used in our extreme Canadian climate. Mesh tape does not have the strength required to mitigate the expansion and contraction of underlying structure.
- All butt joints and corner bead receive a minimum of one coat of hot mud sheetrock 20, 45, 90 this gives the bead and butt joints body/fullness with out leaving it looking cupped or gaunt.
- A level 4 taping system is standard for interior, which includes pre-fill, tape embedment, 3 top coats of plaster and sanding, ready for primer We employ a dustless sanding system (info below) for our clients. There is no need for sanding between coats when applied properly.
