PAREDE DE DRYWALL Como Fazer Sem Cometer Esses 7 Erros

Summary

In this tutorial, the host provides key tips for assembling a drywall wall without making common mistakes that could ruin the project. The video covers crucial errors to avoid, such as incorrectly positioning the studs, failing to reinforce areas around doors and windows, and improper placement of drywall sheets. The host emphasizes correct techniques for screw placement, intercalating panels, and maintaining a gap between drywall and the floor to prevent moisture damage. Following these guidelines ensures a solid, durable, and professional-looking drywall installation.

Takeaways

• 😀 Ensure that the mounting direction of drywall studs aligns with the direction of the drywall sheets to avoid issues with screw placement and damage to the sheet.
• 😀 When installing drywall around doors or windows, always make a 10 cm bend in the guide profile to provide extra strength and avoid future issues with door impacts.
• 😀 Install additional studs on the sides of door and window openings to reinforce the wall structure, preventing cracks and increasing overall stability.
• 😀 Never install drywall sheets vertically (standing up) as this creates weak joint areas, leading to potential cracks over time. Always install sheets horizontally (lying down).
• 😀 Avoid placing drywall sheets next to each other without offsetting them (intercalating). This helps to prevent joint weakness, which can result in cracks.
• 😀 Do not cut drywall sheets to fit the profile of door or window frames in a way that leaves vertical or horizontal joints where the sheet ends. Proper placement helps avoid weak joints.
• 😀 Make sure the drywall sheets are not placed directly on the floor; leave a small gap (about 1 cm) to prevent moisture absorption from the floor, which can lead to mold and damage over time.
• 😀 When starting to install drywall, ensure that the studs' flanges are facing the correct direction (away from the surface to be finished) to allow for proper fastening.
• 😀 Always follow proper placement guidelines for drywall sheets around door and window frames, ensuring correct intercalation and avoiding misaligned cuts.
• 😀 Adhering to these installation guidelines will result in a smooth, clean wall that minimizes future problems, such as cracks or water damage, and ensures long-lasting stability.

Q & A

What is the first mistake to avoid when installing a drywall wall?

The first mistake to avoid is placing the mounting clips in the opposite direction of the wall plating. The clips should be positioned correctly to ensure that the drywall is mounted properly, preventing issues such as screws not attaching properly or causing damage to the drywall.

Why should the mounting clips be oriented in a particular direction?

The mounting clips should be oriented towards the back of the stud to ensure that the screws attach securely. If the clips are facing the wrong direction, the screws might damage the drywall, leading to improper installation.

What is the purpose of bending the metal profile around door or window frames?

Bending the metal profile around the door or window frame adds extra support to the structure. This is important because these areas are prone to stress from frequent use, such as door opening and closing, which could cause cracking or instability if not reinforced.

How do you ensure additional strength around the door and window areas?

You should use extra studs, known as 'montantes extra,' in addition to the main stud in the door or window frame. This reinforcement helps prevent weaknesses that could lead to cracks or instability in the wall.

What is the risk of installing drywall with the sheets standing vertically?

Installing drywall sheets vertically creates a weak joint at the top where the drywall meets. Over time, this joint can crack due to the lack of support and the thinness of the joint compound in these areas.

What is the correct orientation for drywall sheets during installation?

Drywall sheets should always be installed horizontally, not vertically. This ensures that the joints between the sheets are stronger and less likely to crack, providing better overall support for the wall.

Why is it important to stagger drywall seams?

Staggering drywall seams, both horizontally and vertically, prevents creating long continuous joints that are prone to cracking. This method distributes the stress across the wall more evenly and improves the overall durability of the structure.

What is the consequence of cutting drywall sheets directly at the door or window frame?

Cutting drywall sheets directly at the door or window frame can result in weak, irregular joints. These areas might be prone to damage over time, especially when there is no proper reinforcement or support around the edges.

What should you avoid when placing drywall near the floor?

You should avoid placing drywall sheets directly on the floor. There should be a small gap (around 1 cm) to prevent water absorption from the floor, which can lead to mold and other issues due to capillary action.

What could happen if drywall sheets are installed with gaps touching the floor?

If drywall sheets touch the floor, moisture can rise through capillary action, potentially causing the drywall to absorb water and lead to mold, mildew, and wall deterioration.
