This article will help you, no matter how often you have successfully attempted drywall installation. Although drywall may not be the best building material, it is close enough. It is incredibly cost-effective and easy to install.

Let’s first talk about what drywall is. Drywall panels are made of two layers of paperboards sandwiched with gypsum. Gypsum, a non-combustible white or powdery grey substance made from sulfite mineral sands, is lighter than other wall panel options.

Main points of concern

• Cost-effectiveness
• Fire resistance
• Installation is simple
• Long-lasting
• There is no drying time

Combining the layers of paperboard with gypsum creates a wall panel that is sturdy, light, and doesn’t burn when exposed to naked fire.

These features and their low cost make drywall panels very popular in home-building projects. It is easy to find it in a local hardware store, and the price of multiple sheets is usually lower than buying bricks or wooden sheets.

The United States Gypsum Corporation (USGC) invented drywall sheets in 1916. They quickly became a popular building material due to their ease of use and high market appeal.

In an era when lower- and middle-class families could finally access mainstream resources, drywall was created. Since then, it has been a popular product.

You now know where the panels should be placed to install them properly. These are the steps to cover your ceiling with drywall.

We use a lift to position the first board against a corner. Make sure the edges of the panels are parallel to the framing elements and that one end is flush with the wall. We secure the board by securing it in place. Next, we attach five evenly spaced screws along a straight line to the sheet and into the framing part closest to the center.

To keep the screws in place, we use the top plate marks. Double-check that each screw is no more than half an inch away from the nearest edge. We drive the screw heads deep enough in the board to create an indentation on the paper.

We make a line of five screws for each joist where your drywall board touches until we reach the end. We continue to drive screws into another row. We ensure they are not more than a few feet from the first row. Any screw heads that have broken through the paper should be added to the next row.
