Search Results - Drywall

Type in a word or phrase to search, you can also type in Article ID's separated by commas:

Drywall is the term used for a common method of constructing interior walls and ceilings using panels made of gypsum plaster pressed between two thick sheets of paper, then kiln dried. Drywall construction is used globally for the finish construction of interior walls and ceilings. Drywall construction became prevalent as a speedier alternative to traditional plaster interior finish techniques, which involved hand-placing base, scratch and finish coats in successive layers by hand. (See also, the history of Homasote, a dry applied wall or ceiling board finish system.) Drywall, by contrast, required hand finishing only at the fasteners and joints. The new process required less labor and drying time, lending its name to the panels used in the assembly.[citation needed]

Panels installed may be known as gypsum board, wallboard, plasterboard (USA, UK, Ireland, Spain, Australia), Gibraltar board or GIB wall and ceiling linings (in New Zealand trademark of Winstone Wallboards), rock lath[1], Sheetrock (a trademark of USG Corporation, rigips (Germany and Central Europe - after the Rigips brand), alçipan in Turkey, and placoplatre (France).

Sackett Board” was invented in 1894 by Augustine Sackett. It was made by layering plaster within four plies of wool felt paper. Sheets were 36" x 36" x 1/4" thick with open (untaped) edges."[2]

"Gypsum Board" evolved between 1910 and 1930 beginning with wrapped board edges, and elimination of the two inner layers of felt paper in favor of paper-based facings. Later "air-entrainment technology" made boards lighter and less brittle, then joint treatment materials and systems also evolved. "[2]

2. Affordable Painting Contractors - San Antonio's Affordable Painting Contractors.
November 13, 2009

I usually try to handle most home improvement jobs myself in order to save money and time. I am able to replace torn window screens or patch up small holes in the drywall with no problem, and I can also climb on the roof to wash out the gutters whenever necessary. I assumed I'd be able to paint the place too, but it didn't take long for me to realize I was in way over my head. Painting an entire house isn't an one-person job, that is's for sure! When I accepted the incontrovertible fact that I had neither the time nor the talent to handle the project on my, I decided to call in a crew of p... (read more)

November 12, 2009

One of the biggest issues in home real estate currently that isn’t directly related to home financing is the problem of defective Chinese drywall. This noxious product gives off sulphur gas—both carbon disulfide and carbonyl sulphide—which gives off a rotten egg smell and forms other compounds when it reacts with substances in the home. The chemical reactions that these compounds cause are creating havoc in approximately 100,000 homes across the country. Common occurrences in homes with this noxious drywall include metal corrosion in wiring, plumbing, appliances... (read more)

8. Types of Plastic Fixings for Hollow Surfaces
October 22, 2009

It is always tricky to install fixings on thin and hollow surfaces, like walls with a plasterboard drywall or a hardboard wall, which are only tacked onto the actual wall by being glued or being nailed onto studs. Builders are always advised to drill the holes into the support of the wall itself, but even finding where the support is can be problematic at times. Thus, there is a need for special fixings that can allow us to mount objects on thin walls and hollow surfaces without damaging the wall itself. Many of these fixings designed for hollow surfaces are made of plastic. That is be... (read more)

9. An Afternoon of Landscape
October 21, 2009

A friend of mine was painting in Riverside County when I came across him last week. He has been working as a landscape artist for two years now, and he has a penchant for animating dull looking houses with his painting skills. Since we haven’t seen each other for quite a while, he invited me to have coffee with him. We started reminiscing about our high school days. In the course of our conversation, we suddenly found ourselves talking about his passion for landscape and architecture. According to him, his chosen career path makes him constantly feel as though he’s living in a colorful dre... (read more)

16. Why You Might Just Need a Chinese Drywall Attorney
September 14, 2009

After buying or remodeling a home, there are many new smells unfamiliar to the owner. Some of the smells come from chemicals associated with painting the interior, or possibly the glue that holds some wood together. Just putting in the new rug will create smells. Depending upon how much a family cooks inside their home will tell when that “new” house smell goes away. However, if some smells do not go away, it would be prudent to investigate why the smell is still present; and if the air inside the home smells of sulfur, you may have a very unwanted problem.

Drywall is the popular term for pre-fabricated plaster wall panels. These panels are easy to install, but can take some hard work to repair. Therefore, your best bet is to avoid basic mistakes when installing your drywall to save yourself the headache of having to redo the job.

I think tankless water heaters have many pros - and a few cons or considerations. They were originally designed to be used in situations where a tank is undesirable and/or inefficient, such as a building with very minimal hot water demand.
