Drywall Tape
More and more people are beginning to understand the importance of taping their drywall installations, and recognizing the benefits available to those who make the decision to do so. While it might be possible to go without taping your drywall, you’re certainly running unnecessary risks by doing so. You can avoid any trouble by having a licensed drywall contractor carry out the taping process, and we think that you’ll be pleasantly surprised by the cost of the process – and the practical benefits that you’ll gain as a result of it. At Drywall Pros, we’ve got a substantial service record when it comes to drywall taping, so you can rest assured that you’re in very safe hands with our team. To find out more information with regard to drywall taping, and why you need to employ the use of it, read on below.
Types of Tape When it comes to drywall tape, you generally have two varieties to choose from for your installation – paper drywall tape and fiberglass mesh tape. Paper tape has always been the most popular choice in the United States, as it provides a sturdy connection between the panels, it doesn’t stretch much, and won’t break. It lacks any kind of adhesive, so a compound will need to be applied to the drywall seams before it can be used. Fiberglass mesh tape arguably has added strength, but is more elastic and stretchy than paper tape. We can help you assess which of these might be right for your property. Hiding Seams One of the principal reasons that people employ the use of drywall tape is to hide the seams between the different boards and panels throughout your installation. Generally speaking, the aesthetic that you can get with a drywall installation is very attractive. Easily painted and customized, the surface is a versatile option – but if you can see the seams between the panels, it’s certainly going to irritate you in the long run. We can make sure that the seams are invisible to the naked eye. Reinforcing Your Drywall You might not think that a drywall tape service could have such a profound impact on the strength of your drywall installation, but it is true – tape can substantially strengthen and reinforce your installation. The seams are the weak points of your drywall installation – relatively speaking – so it stands to reason that you’d want to do everything you can to get them as strong as possible. Certain varieties of drywall tape can even offer moisture protection, which is perfect for these otherwise vulnerable seams. Minimal Cost, Maximum Gains We firmly believe that the benefits of using drywall tape are significant enough on their own to warrant the use of the service – but if you’re still not convinced, you only need to think about the cost of the process. It’s far less expensive than the rest of the drywall installation procedure, and the additional benefits are clearly cost-effective. This is the best way of making sure you get the most from your initial investment. |
