The installation of plaster or suspended if the professionals usually refer to the task can be done home. But it's usually better with two or more people, as it requires significant lifting of heavy materials. MUD and Taping can also be done from home will not, but these tasks require some practice and art.
Measuring and Ordering Drywall
Before you actually hang the plaster, the material must firstsorted and delivered. To determine how much material to order, measure all the surface, which starts with caps and then the walls. Calculate the total square feet and divide by 32 the result should give you the number of 4'x 8 'sheets of gypsum is needed for the job. I would also recommend adding another 5-10% of this figure to take account of inefficiency. Gesso in large sheets that are 4 'x12', but for a do-it-yourself home these greatplates can be heavier and perhaps even impossible to bring home exists.
For bathrooms or other wet areas Green Board should probably like this material is used, resistance to moisture.
For areas of the bathroom, where ceramic tiles to use as a shower / tub areas, on board of concrete must be used. The Board of cement is also known as Wonder Board or Durock.
Joint compound and tape fiberglass also Taping and Mudding required. Joint Compound typicallycollapsed into 5 liters containers. I would be 1-2 containers per 500 square feet of gypsum guess. Fiberglass tape is extremely cheap, so I would suggest picking up 2-3 rolls for most Do-it-yourself projects chalk.
Drywall screws and nails will also be required rang. Normally I use 1.25 "length screws or nails. Incidentally, strips of corner bead will be required.
Drywall Tools
Before the start of installation of plasterboard,To find the right tools. A Drywall Lift is very handy when hanging Sheetrock / plaster ceilings. Can Drywall Lifts at hardware or home improvement stores for rent. If your budget does not allow these costs, Jacks (or T) can not be 2 "x 4" S. De Boer (or TS) should be of a length, then only one or two inches larger ceiling height and has a crossbar, which is about 3 'in width. Usually there are some45th angle braces connecting the crossbar to the main stem Jack. Jack can then be used to wait for the plaster of the ceiling, while it is screwed / nailed into place.
In addition to the Lift or Jacks, Drywall screw gun, hammer, T-square, carpenters knife, then plaster and the keyhole, if necessary. Keyhole then used to cut around electrical boxes.
If the MUD and taping will be done Taping knives, a Corner knife, sandpaper, aPolishing Sander and a Mud easel or pan will be necessary. For the record knives you'll need a 6 "wide blade and a 12" wide blade.
Pioneering gypsum
Before you hang the plaster, making sure the building inspector first, framing, plumbing, electrical and insulation job approved. Secondly, a vapor barrier for insulation on the outside walls if un-installed the insulation is applied. Terms of plastics used forcreate vapor barrier. The plastic is simply stapled to the construction and insulation.
Finally, inspect all of the list carefully. Ensure that the features (eg 2 "x 4" s) there is around every corner and go straight for the effect, and estimated that the walls create smooth planes. In addition, ceiling strapping applied (1 "x 3" bottom axis). Also, make sure metal protection plates are installed in areas where Sheetrock screws or nails mayinadvertently penetrate plumbing pipes or electrical cord.
Security
Drywall installation is dirty, the heavy lifting. Plaster can be irritating to eyes, lungs and sinuses so wear safety goggles and masks to avoid breathing the material. It also recommended that gloves protect against sharp blades.
Drywall Installation
Start with the ceiling panels on the walls because it will be too late to help the skin on the ceiling to keep.Use chalk or jack to lift the slabs in position while the screw or nail to the ceiling. The screws or nails should be installed so that they are a bit 'collection and create a small dimple without breaking the paper. Screws or nails should be used every 8-12 cm along each study. The screws are generally stronger and can be more distant, for example, 12 inches. It is best to check the screws / nails to the edge of the chalk and then fill in the boxafterwards.
Rows of drywall should be applied in a staggered pattern. This will create an interlocked pattern that creates a tighter and stronger ceiling/wall.
After the ceiling has been completed it its time to move on to the walls. Drywall should be applied from the top down, with the sheets hung perpendicular to the floor joists or studs. Again the rows should be staggered. The bottom piece should sit about ½ inches from the sub-floor.
For purposes of the efficiency and effectiveness is the best thing for the strong decrease in chalk on the doors and windows and cut the excess later not to apply. Will be stronger / cleaner looking walls, create and save a lot of time.
Installing Corner bead
After the plaster has been installed, corner bead should be on all sides to use. Corner bead should be nailed every 6-8 inches and penetrate the cover.
Tape and Mudding
Again start with the ceiling.The use of a layer of joint compound skimmed the surface of a suture with a 6 "blade wide tape. If the seam is wide, apply a liberal amount of common equipment to fill. While the mixture is still common 's Use of wet fiberglass tape joint compounds skimmed the arms. Make sure the seam is placed under the tape. When the tape is installed, apply additional Joint Compound over the tape, again with 6 "taping knife wide. Keep it on the seams. Note: The band will continuevisible. The layers will eventually hide it.
The inside surfaces are usually the most difficult and requires practice. Honesty is the best advice and note that additional coats will eventually be used to explore possible defects.
When the seams are made with 6-inch blade to strip off all the mud of the screw / nail dimples. Skimmer one hand is all that originally demanded.
Note: The use of mud over the tape and screw / nail dimples, make the material any excessand irregular spots are rubbed with a knife. This will reduce sanding later.
Once the ceiling is finished, you can move on to the walls. Repeat the same process, but with the outside corners just apply a liberal layer of municipalities in the valley formed by the heel corner. This valley is usually the first 3 or 4 cm from the edge of the curve.
Once the first layer of the application, let stand overnight or until it is dry before the secondthe use of powder mixture. Be sure to clean the tape with a knife, the mud easel and other containers or instruments that have mud on them until it is finished for the day.
Apply second coat Mud
After the first coat is completely dry, it is time to apply another layer of mud. It is this level to hide the tape.
Again start with the ceiling. With the broad taping knife apply a large amount of common substance ofglued seams, if you want to build in the area over the band. Battle billing smoother the common substance of the tape applying more pressure on the side of the taping knife further away from the group. This will help to further muddy to leave the band. When done, mud, cover an area that extends beyond the width of the band for 2 to 3 inches.
After all the seams are finished, find another layer of mud on the screw / nail dimples. With this second coat, flare the muddimples so that the diameter of the muddy area is approximately 3-4 cm in diameter.
The corners in a Corner knife may come in handy. Corners involve a little work of art in a new way take your time. The use of a large amount of common equipment and then run the Corner knife down the corner up. Long, even strokes. A 6 "knife tape can also be useful to explore possible defects.
For outer corners, apply the broad taping knife, a generousamount of joint compound and flare of the materials so that by 6 inches or so to stretch angle. Again, apply more pressure on the edge of the blade that is farthest from the corner, so you leave more mud near the outside corner.
When the second layer is applied let it sit overnight or until it is dry, before the beginning of the end of powder mixture. Be sure to clean the tape knife, the mud easel and other containers or instruments thathave mud on them until it is finished for the day.
Final Coat of Mud Apply
After the first coat is completely dry, it is time to apply the final layer of mud. And 'this level that requires the most artistic and the least amount of common material. Here are just applying a final skim coat to the areas already covered in mud.
Before using skim coat is best for your tape leaves off and easily switch muddy surfaces. This eliminates anybumps or ridges.
Again start with the ceiling seams and apply a small amount of common equipment, using the broad blade tape. Time continues to flare up the seam, extending the area covered in mud so that about 6 inches from living on both sides of the now invisible tape. Remember this is a skim coat so little mud is required. The purpose of this effective weapon is to fill the lines or recessed areas.
After the seams have all been completed, apply a final layer of mud over the screw / pindimples. With this second coat, flare on the mud pits so that the diameter of the muddy area is about 6-8 cm in diameter.
For angles use the knife wide ribbon and add just enough mud that you can flare out muddy area of about 8-12 cm, which provides for implementation of any lines or dimples.
When the last layer is applied, let it rest overnight or until it is dry,
Baby
Blasting is a dusty, dirty mess, so pleaseUse goggles and a mask.
I find it best to use a pole with sandpaper Sander material specially designed for grinding Sheetrock / reading of mud plaster open.
Light Sand all areas of the stack, but focus on products to clean the outer edge of the muddy areas so that all seams and ridges are eliminated and blend with the main surfaces.
When sanding is complete, vacuum, dust and you're ready to license and paint the walls and texturesceilings.
