Why Do I Need Drywall Tape?<\/h1>\n\n\n\n
Drywall tape has but one simple purpose, but it is a highly\nimperative one. It is used to make the drywall seams invisible. Without drywall\ntape, you will be able to see where each sheet of drywall connects, which is an\neyesore. Do not skip the drywall tape, or you will regret it when the job is\ndone!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Do I Need Sheetrock or Drywall?<\/h1>\n\n\n\n
Do you use cotton swabs, tissues, and adhesive bandages?\nThese are commonly referred to as \u201cCutips\u00ae, Kleenex\u00ae, and Band-Aids\u00ae\u201d, which\nare all actually brand names rather than item descriptions. The same principle applies\nto sheetrock and drywall. They are the same thing, with Sheetrock being a brand\nname like \u201cBand-Aids\u00ae\u201d, and drywall being the actual material description.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What Will I Need to Fix a Hole in the Wall?<\/h1>\n\n\n\n
To fix a small hole in the wall, you will need a long list\nof materials. These include, but are not limited to, drywall metal patch (for\nmedium holes), painter’s putty, putty knife, blade knife, drywall compound,\nfine grain sanding blocks, trowel, cloth\nrag, paint, and a paint roller\/brush. For larger holes, you will need more\nmaterial. See our blog, \u201cCommon Drywall Supplies and What They Do\u201d to learn\nmore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What is the Difference between Drywall Spackle and Joint\nCompound?<\/h1>\n\n\n\n
Drywall joint compound has a lighter consistency than\nspackle, which means it is not well-suited for the same applications. It can be\nused to patch holes and cracks, but it takes longer to dry and shrinks more\nthan spackling paste. Spackle is different from joint compound since it is\nmainly used to patch up holes and cracks in plaster and gypsum board. It has a\nthicker consistency, which is why it is also known as \u201cdrywall mud.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Should I Hang Drywall Horizontally or Vertically?<\/h1>\n\n\n\n
This is actually a very common question among novice\nhandymen. The answer depends on certain factors. Commercial properties must\nhang drywall vertically to be compliant with fire codes. In contrast, it is\nnormal practice to and drywall horizontally in residential properties. In fact,\nwalls that are 9 feet or higher benefit from horizontal drywall installation,\nincluding less seams, hidden uneven studs, easier finishing, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
