What are the best methods to install Sheetrock®?
Sheetrock® is a trade name for USG Corporation, which calls a number of names in different countries, including plasterboard, wall plates, gypsum, Gibraltar plates, Giba walls, ceiling linings and rock LATH. Made in dimensions specially designed to meet building standards set out in building regulations, it dramatically reduces the time needed to position the inner walls and ceilings in any structure. Although there are different approaches to Sheetrock® installation, there is also a significant agreement on some approaches in specific circumstances, especially in the new design.
Sheetrock® is produced and sold in dimensions of 48 inches (120 cm) wide by a number of different lengths, most often either 96 inches (240 cm) or 144 inches (366 cm). Most building regulations require that pins-on-track wood or hollow steel, which support the inner walls-are located 16 inches (40.6 cm) in the center or stall of one pin to the center of the next is 16 inches. The standard ceiling height is eight feet (2.44 m). StAndard Sheetrock® makes it easier to locate horizontally or vertically, and every approach has many supporters.
In both cases, several important points should be borne. First, every vertical edge of Sheetrock® should be attached to the pin; Behind the vertical sheetrock® joint should never be a hollow space. Second, the edge of the Sheetrock® panel should not run parallel to the door or windows frame; The panel should be cut to suit the frame. This will reduce the potential for the operation of the door due to the bulge created in the recording process. Also, if the Sheetrock® joints monitor the door or frame lines, it will tend to retreat to the stress of operation, which requires repair. The more critical point is that the Sheetrock® ceiling should be installed in front of the walls, so Sheetrock® then installed on the walls can help support the Sheetrock® ceiling.
InstallationsheEtrock® on the ceiling can be difficult and generally requires at least two people, although there are special Sheetrock® lifts that lift the Sheetrock® panel to the ceiling to fastened to the ceiling beams. Alternately simple plasterboard made of 2x4s allows two people to wedge support under the Sheetrock® panel while attaching them to the ceiling beams.
Sheetrock® is used by some nail installations and a special hammer with a convex distinctive surface that will be “thorough” by the Sheetrock® surface without breaking paper leather. Another popular method is the use of special drywall screws with an electric drill and a special drill piece that will only count the screw head Below the Sheetrock's® Skin, again damaged paper without breaking it. The bolts have a less tendency to pull out of the studs and a good shock absorber will cause sheetrock® screwing to work fast. A screw or nail should be installed every nine to 12 inches along the line where the panel of SHEETROCK® meets pin or ceiling beams. Some do-it-yourselfers simply apply the bead of the building adhesive on the pins and press the Sheetrock® panels, but it is not a widely accepted practice. Where two Sheetrock® panels meet, they should be firmly disturbed against each other and both edges securely attached to the underlying pin.
Once the Sheetrock® installation is completed, it is usually "finished" - that is, all the proof of the installation is covered. The joints and screw heads are covered and smoothed to represent the appearance of a single straight surface prepared for painting. This is performed by applying paper or ALO to tapes all joints over which a thin coat of joint compounds with a special tool called knife on tapping spread. Inside the corners, the same is treated with a folded piece of tape. The outer corners are treated with an aluminum corner strip that is nailed in place and covered with a compound, and the heads of the screws are also covered with a compound. After the dry is compound PCut and the process is repeated. Depending on the use of the wall and the material that will cover it, this step may be repeated several times, and the target is a perfectly smooth and flat surface without comb or tool marks.
