The Top 5 Reasons to Install Drywall at Your Home

DryWallTaping®

Building or remodeling an office, a commercial plaza, a restaurant, or your own home often involves the use of drywall. There are a lot of good reasons why. The wall system is high performing and durable. The majority of them are gypsum-based, though there are variations. Meaning, you’ll find several options available depending on your environment – moisture, fire prone, etc.

For those who are planning renovations and want to know whether drywall installation is a good option for them, consider the following these five reasons below.

Drywall installation is quick

Compared to other construction materials, drywall can be installed faster. The time you spend on fitting walls will be at least five times less if you hire a professional drywall contractor in Toronto. The buildout and installation of drywall varies according to its size and how many walls are involved.

Their weight also varies depending on the material they’re made of and the size of their walls. If you want the installation done by a drywall installation contractor, you will undoubtedly need their assistance.

The reason for that is that drywall finishing and taping require experience. The corners are especially susceptible to cracking if it is not done right. However, that can’t be considered as a disadvantage. All properties are structurally based on their walls. They influence the aesthetics and stability of any surface with their excellent drywall installation.

Easily repairable

Drywall plastering reduces impact resistance and therefore cracks and dents. Because such problems are often unavoidable, it’s a good thing that drywall can be fixed quickly.

Large holes can be patched even if they are enormous. The drywall in your home is not likely to need to be replaced unless it has been damaged by fire or water. In a matter of minutes, you can fix the drywall problem with a few simple repairs.

Drywall offers a variety of solutions

Walls and ceilings can be covered with drywall. When you combine lighting and the right painting service with wall and ceiling ideas, you can come up with hundreds of plans. A drywall partition can be used when you remodel a basement, split the office into several sections, or need space to accommodate the newborn.

The dry wall is soundproof

Soundproofing solutions can be provided by a drywall contractor if you are concerned about noise at your property. Wallboard can be actually used to isolate internal noises without increasing the wall’s thickness if the street is too noisy or if there is too much traffic noise coming from the street.

Fire-resistant Drywall

You should know that drywall is not fireproof, but it is fire resistant. As a result, it will continue to burn, but will slow down any further spreading of fire. The importance of this cannot be overstated. This will allow you to evacuate the building in time and, in turn, save your life.

Drywalls have many benefits beyond these, but these are the most important ones. An experienced drywall service company can offer a variety of options to meet all your needs. With the right interior painting service, drywall can also provide excellent thermal insulation, increased protection from mold, and stunning aesthetic results.

How much time does it take to do taping in 1000sq basement

Many clients ask us about how long it usually takes to do mudding, taping and sanding of a 1000sq ft basement or any other area for that matter.
We usually give up to one week for this drywall taping project. There are certain factors that affect the taping process. The main factor would be the temperature inside the basement and the humidity.

First coat called “prefill coat” and is done with SHEETROCK90 should take 90 minutes to dry in the ideal situation (90 here stands for the drying time in minutes).
First coat of Sheetrock on a 1000 sq ft we do within 1 day.
Same day we also put the paper on the corners, screws and prefill coat on the corner beads.

Ideal situation for taping would be a dry and warm space. This way we can do a “rough” sanding next day and put a second coat, this time using Compound to level the walls, put the second coat on the corners, screws and the corner beads.

After, it takes one to two days, depending on the temperature and humidity of the space to dry.

Third coat after rough sending is done with Compound again to smooth out the surfaces and we let it dry for another day.

Finally we sand and it is ready for primer.

So as you can see there are four actual labour days for the taping and 3 days for drying that gives us 7 in total.
We come back for touch-ups when needed but usually there is none required given the professional level of our employees.
