how are joints joined to create a flat finished surface with gwb?
the long edges of the board are typically tapered to allow for the joint to be tapped and filled with joint compound

sheathing board
regular gwb
standard wall board
water resistant (greenboard) gwb
wall with higher moisture resistance for us in high moisture areas like bathrooms
backing board gwb
more ridges board, used as a base for other materials
great fire and sound resistance
prefinished gwb
wallboard with a pre-applied vinyl or paper finish
sheathing board gwb
a wallboard with water repellant paper and it the ONLY type that can be used in an exterior condition
how is gwb installed? ( direction its laid to make wall)
HORIZONTALLY
for stability, but runs into more issues with finishing square ends
what parts of the gwb installed first?
ceilings so it can be supported from bellow
what is use to conceal the bottom joint with gwb?
a wall base
what does the resilient furring channels do in the walls?
they improve sound transmission classification.
metal edge trim pieces/furring strips do what?
finish various joints, corners, and intersections.
an example of this is corner bead
millwork=

non-pours, strong and vert stable to impace, high temps ects
wider variety of color and pattern
easily custom made
typically comes in 1/2” sheets
sustainable consideration with countertops (options)
butcher block
solid surface
concrete countertops
key consideration to think about when choosing a flooring
slip resistance
traffic that will be using it
durability and longevity
flammability
sound absorption
hygienic qualities
walking and standing comfort
sustainability
maintenance
ceramic/poceleain tile
small, modular surfacing units made of clay or other ceramic material and kiln fire at high temperatures
“GLAZE” or “UNGLAZED”
installation of flooring tiles (ceramic or porcelain)
