Drywall/plasterboard profiles

Gypsum board - other drywall, profiles and related products

Gypsum board, commonly known as drywall, and its profiles and related systems are now almost every home's component due to its simplicity and wide range of applications. With gypsum board, you can achieve the exact result you want, while still having the flexibility to use profiles or construct from wood. Under the gypsum board, you can easily install insulation, electrical wiring, or anything else, which is easier to do compared to other wall construction options.

Did you know that gypsum board has been around for over 100 years?

Gypsum board was invented in the United States in 1916, but it gained popularity in the 1950s during the "Baby Boom" when there was a need for fast and affordable construction options.

Gypsum board, its profiles, and other related items

Gypsum board itself is versatile, and now you have the option to purchase specially designed gypsum board for curved surfaces, floors, high humidity areas, with increased fire resistance, and other properties. However, did you know that it is equally important to choose the right materials?

For example, gypsum board needs to be reinforced, and there are several ways to do it. In the case of ceilings and walls, a special structure is usually created. It can be made from special metal profiles or simple wooden structures. If partitions are being created, special metal profiles are most commonly used, which can be bent at multiple points to form curved lines. If gypsum board is used for the floor, it simply needs to be laid on a smooth surface. Both floors and other gypsum boards can be screwed or glued. Gypsum board profiles also have a wide range of fastening options, both for interconnection to create a mesh and for anchoring and attaching to walls and ceilings.

Gypsum board is increasingly chosen as an interior material because it allows for easy installation of insulation, ventilation, electrical wiring, and much more, which may not seem as aesthetically pleasing but is essential for providing comfort. When constructing walls and ceilings, insulation and electrical wiring are often incorporated into the built-in partition, and in the case of ceilings, ventilation and lighting are also often integrated.

If you have already built the structure, installed everything according to your plans, and decide to do the installation yourself, you may find yourself in a situation where you realize that you have not planned all the measurements as well as you thought, and difficulties arise when trying to find support points to screw through the gypsum board. Fortunately, this has already been taken into account, and on our website, you can open the sensor section and choose one of the stud finders. Now there are even sensors available that can detect both wood and metal studs and even electrical wires through the gypsum board, to avoid unintentional damage that would require repairing the first gypsum board patch much sooner than expected. Speaking of which, such detectors are particularly useful if the renovation has already been done a long time ago and there are no sketches with dimensions of the built-in stud layout, and you find yourself in a situation where you need to enter the wall without causing unnecessary damage.

You have screwed everything, what now?

Your space has taken shape as you desired, but it is still rough, maybe with screw holes. Now is the time to look for joint compound, just like tape for securing joints and corners. Here too, there are many options to choose from. Joint compounds have different drying times, levels of fineness, and therefore differences in durability. Tapes are made of paper, but there are also mesh tapes. Corners are made of metal with small holes, but there are also mesh-like ones, some are even made of plastic, and some are even flexible, although they should make the corners rigid. The options are truly wide, but don't worry and feel free to explore the tape section for joint reinforcement and the corner bead section for corner reinforcement. If you don't find any specific instructions for the product installation, you can always look for answers on our website or the manufacturer's website.
