Next, take your drywall tape, and measure it out in strips that fit just over your seam lines. Before you apply the tape, submerge it in water and wring out in a swift motion to get rid of excess moisture. Cement board, which is more water-resistant than greenboard, for use in showers or sauna rooms, and as a base for ceramic tile.

Ferguson, Myron R.. Drywall: professional techniques for great results. Rev. and updated. ed. Newtown, CT: Taunton Press, 2002. Print. p.11. Doors can either be of standard form or custom ones. Typing in the door dimensions into the calculator automatically yields their surface areas. Half-inch drywall that’s water-resistant for humid areas such as baths (humid, not wet). This material is not acceptable for ceilings or areas such as tiled shower enclosures. Mold-resistant drywall is also sold for areas like basements where mold might be a concern.Set screws and nails slightly below the surface of the paper, being careful not to break through into the gypsum core.

For the Doors, input the values of the Door Height, Door Width, and the Number of Doors to get the Total Door Area.

For the Drywall Amount, input the areas of the Net Room Area, Drywall Panel Type, and the Cost per Panel to get the Number of Panels and the Total Cost. Five-eighths-inch for spans up to 24 inches on ceilings. The 5/8-inch drywall is also called Type X or fire-resistant. It is used in areas where a firewall is required, such as between a house and an attached garage. Consult your local building official for installation specifics. The plaster is mixed with fiber (typically paper and/or glass fiber), plasticizer, foaming agent, finely ground gypsum crystal as an accelerator, EDTA, starch or other chelate as a retarder, and various additives that may increase mildew and fire resistance, lower water absorption ( wax emulsion or silanes), reduce creep (tartaric or boric acid). [9] The board is then formed by sandwiching a core of the wet mixture between two sheets of heavy paper or fiberglass mats. When the core sets, it is dried in a large drying chamber, and the sandwich becomes rigid and strong enough for use as a building material.

Drying chambers typically use natural gas today. To dry 1,000 square feet (93m 2) of wallboard, between 1,750,000 and 2,490,000BTU (1.85–2.63GJ) is required. Organic dispersants and plasticizers are used so that the slurry will flow during manufacture and to reduce the water and hence the drying time. [10] Coal-fired power stations include devices called scrubbers to remove sulfur from their exhaust emissions. The sulfur is absorbed by powdered limestone in a process called flue-gas desulfurization (FGD), which produces several new substances. One is called "FGD gypsum". This is commonly used in drywall construction in the United States and elsewhere. [11] [12] It is for these reasons that greenboard, a type of drywall with an outer face that is wax- and/or chemically coated to resist mold growth, [25] and ideally cement board are used for rooms expected to have high humidity, primarily kitchens, bathrooms, and laundry rooms. Beginning along the longest wall, lift and attach drywall panels to the ceiling using drywall screws driven into the ceiling joists.The introduction in March 2005 of the Clean Air Interstate Rule by the United States Environmental Protection Agency requires fossil-fuel power plants to "cut sulfur dioxide emissions by 73%" by 2018. [32] The Clean Air Interstate Rule also requested that the power plants install new scrubbers (industrial pollution control devices) to remove sulfur dioxide present in the output waste gas. Scrubbers use the technique of flue-gas desulfurization (FGD), which produces synthetic gypsum as a usable by-product. In response to the new supply of this raw material, the gypsum board market was predicted to shift significantly. However, issues such as mercury release during calcining need to be resolved. [33] Types available in Canada and the United States [ edit ] The different panel sizes have their own advantages and disadvantages. For instance, you can accomplish projects faster using bigger boards as they cover more footage in your wall. But they’re harder to work with because of their size, weight, and low maneuverability.

Ideally, you would have any electrical outlets already outlined and cut out to avoid future implications. However, if you haven't done that yet, or plan to at a later stage, don't fret.

A second and third coat are a must to remove the popcorn texture from the ceiling. If you only do one coat, you can still see the ridged texture from the popcorn.

[13] Specifications [ edit ] Australia and New Zealand [ edit ] This is usually made of paper but is strong enough to hold two drywall sheets firmly together. The process includes soaking the tape in drywall mud first before pasting them on the joints between the drywall sheets, then letting them dry.Preservation Brief 21: Repairing Historic Flat Plaster-Walls and Ceilings".

This is important in joining sheets of drywall and in covering any holes. You can buy these in varying volumes and in different versions namely dry, pre-mixed, and low-dust. The dry version costs less but you have to perform the mixing of the mud with water yourself.
