Drywall

The Drywall System is used more frequently in commercial application today as opposed to residential building.

The drywall process consists of installing sheetrock, taping all seams and filling screw heads using joint compound, both ready mix and powder form. A total of three coats of "mud" are used to get a smooth even finish.

Lockhart Drywall & Plastering's list of commercial drywall jobs is extensive. Including, the construction of hotels, schools,

Plastering

This process is done by using "blueboard". Blueboard is a specific type of gypsum board made for plastering. After hanging the blueboard all seams are taped using a fiberglass mesh. A heavy gauge metal corner bead is then installed to all outside corners.

A coat of plaster is applied to all the seams and corners and then followed up with a thin coat of veneer plaster over the entire surface.

The plaster is "worked" until it is hard and smooth. If a textured finish is preferred, then the plaster is randomly "swished" with a trowel by hand. Texture finish is generally used on ceilings and in garages. Another option for plastering is the "Two Coat System".

This process is done by applying a basecoat plaster on the entire surface prior to the veneer skimcoat finish. The two coat system is generally used in higher end homes due to the additional cost of materials and labor.

Many options are available for ceiling finishes. Such as smooth, sand and various textures.
