Do you board ceilings and walls?

Yes — we board ceilings first then walls, with staggered joints and tight fastening, so the finishing goes on flat.

Does it matter how the board is stored on site?

Yes. It damages at the edges, absorbs moisture from a damp slab and bows if stacked badly. Damaged edges become damaged joints, and a sheet that has taken moisture never finishes properly.

Do you take board-only Rhatigan Ridge jobs where we finish ourselves?

Yes — we hang straight and square as a standalone stage, ready for your taper, or we can board and finish it as one job in your Rhatigan Ridge home.

What is a butt joint and why avoid it?

Two cut sheet ends meeting, with no factory taper, so the joint has to be built up and feathered wide instead of sitting below the surface. Every one removed at hanging is a bulge the finisher does not have to disguise.

Do ceilings or walls go up first?

Ceilings, always. The wall sheets then support the ceiling perimeter. Reversed, the ceiling edge is unsupported and cracks along the wall junction.

Do you stand behind your boarding in Rhatigan Ridge?

Yes. We check the board is flat and fastened before we leave your Aspen Gardens, Bearspaw, Blue Quill job, and if something is not right we come back and make it right.

Handling and storing board on site

It is fragile until it is up

Drywall damages at the edges, absorbs moisture from a damp Rhatigan Ridge slab and bows if stacked badly.
