DRYWALL INSTALLATION
Drywall has a long standing reputation for being a commercially affordable, eco friendly and all around stable building material. Now commonly known as drywall, this material was known by many names throughout the last hundred years like gypsum board, plasterboard, and sheetrock. Drywall normally consists of gypsum and fibers mixed together and pressed between two sheets of heavy paper. The finished consistency is essentially the same as rock material and thus, the actual sheets of drywall are very heavy.
Created in 1916 by the US Gypsum Corporation, drywall was designed as a fireproof material that was made with fully recycled resources. It took a long time for drywall to catch on and be used as ubiquitously as it is today. Like many things in life, the use of drywall became widespread as a matter of necessity.
Drywall single handedly spawned a revolution in construction during World War 2 when all major manufacturing was dedicated to the war effort. There was a constant labor shortage as well as numerous workers were either sent overseas to fight, or brought into the war time manufacturing centers. This created a need for quick and inexpensive building materials which led to the mass adoption of drywall. In the building boom following WW2, the use of plaster decreased immensely and was replaced by drywall thus making it the ubiquitous building material that it is today.
Importance of Proper Installation
Building sites can become almost finished homes in just a matter of days once drywall is installed. Drywall effectively covers all the wiring, insulation, piping and studs in your home, leaving only a flat and smooth surface to cover. Like all things, if not installed properly you can certainly run into problems down the road with your drywall. Our contractors at Drywall Denver take all the necessary steps to make sure that there are no surprise issues in the future for you. If you are not a professional, there are many steps that can be overlooked when installing new drywall. You need to first measure everything and have the right sizes for your installation job.
You also must make sure that you have the correct tools for the job, like drills, drywall t-squares, drywall knives, even custom purpose drywall screws. Each corner section of drywall must have wood backers in the corners, and you must account for what is behind the wall at all times. There are a lot of small details that are easy to overlook.
