There are many advantages to planning a green construction project. These include being able to reduce your carbon footprint, having a positive impact on the environment, and reducing waste. Remember, green building techniques may be more expensive at the outset, but they tend to save money in the long run due to lower energy costs and reduced maintenance costs.
Another key advantage of planning a green construction project is that it has a positive impact on the environment in general. It helps reduce energy consumption, thereby cutting utility bills. Living in a sustainable building reduces lifestyle expenses, cut down your utility bills, and also provides a healthy environment for your future generation.
Using green, recyclable materials in construction helps keep your home in good repair and reduces the risk of damage to your house from natural disasters such as storms or flooding. It also increases the value of your property as an investment property. Green living will be helping the environment in general rather than just one project.Call Instart Drywall Contractors to fix your drywall in your house or an office.
Variety Of Sizes, Thicknesses, & Textures For Drywalls
Drywalls are highly flexible and customizable. Available in a range of different sizes, lengths, widths, thicknesses, and textures; drywall panels can easily meet the varying needs of different construction or remodeling projects.
Length & Width
Drywall panels don’t come with specific building codes. Its length & width usually come in multiples of four feet, i.e. 4-foot x 8-foot, 4-foot x 12-foot, and 4-foot x 16-foot sheets, and can be shaped according to the needs of the builder, architect, and homeowners.
Thickness
Common thicknesses for drywalls include 1/2-inch, 1/4-inch, and 5/8-inch. The thickness of the panels required for each installation is directed by the building codes. However, in comparison to the other two types of thicknesses, 5/8-inch-thick panels are more fire-resistant and strong.
If you need drywall that’s fire-resistant, you’ve got a couple of choices to pick from.
Type X Drywall
Type X drywall has a fire-resistant gypsum center and two layers of paper, one regular and one liner-backed. This is a thicker board, at 5/8 inches, so it’s a little more difficult to cut through. But because it’s thick, it’s also good for dampening sound. Type X drywall has to pass a one-hour fire resistance test and is generally used in apartment buildings and garages.Instart Drywall Contractor is here to help you with your drywall needs.
Type C Drywall
Type C drywall matches Type X drywall in thickness, but more glass fibers are used in the gypsum core of Type C. Type C is basically an amped-up version of Type X, so it’s more fire-resistant than Type X. Type C is about 10% more expensive than Type X, but they’re not interchangeable. Type C is a better option for ceilings because it performs better when laid horizontally, while Type X does better vertically.We are always happy to help you with your drywall needs. Call us today!
