CONCEPT OF JOINTING AND FINISHING

LEVELS OF JOINTING AND FINISHING

Traditionally, the quality of a surface has been judged subjectively, with the use of phrases such as “ready-for-painting”, “ready-for-covering” and so on. However, these are not suitable for describing the level of finish. A “finished” and “ready-for-painting” surface for one person may be a sub-standard one for another.

The quality of finish of gypsum board is defined by the Euro Gypsum standards (based on EN 13963). The level of finish is affected by the dimensional tolerances of boards, metal framings and level of workmanship. The flatness of the Drywall and Ceiling also impact the level of finish.

Local Flatness
Standards

A ruler of 200 mm applied on the cladding of the drywall, particularly at the joints, must not have a difference bigger than 1 mm between the most salient point and the point furthest away.

General Flatness
Standards

A ruler of 2000 mm length applied to the face of the drywall and moved in all directions must not have a difference bigger than 4 mm between the most salient point and the point furthest away

Stages Of Jointing And Finishing

Shallow light (natural or artificial) can affect the appearance of the surface. Ideally, lighting conditions where the board systems are used should be known in advance. The surface quality should not be judged by flood-lighting, and the limits of manual workmanship should be considered.

  • Remove any dust or loose material from the Gypsum board

Mixing:

  • Mix Gyproc Easi-Fill®/Pro-Fill® with the clean water in the ratio of 1:2 to make a uniform paste. Continue the mixing for 10 – 15 minutes to form a homogeneous mix.
  • Ensure that no unmixed powder / lumps remain in the mixed material.

There three stages in Jointing & Finishing of Gypsum Board.

First Coat

  • Using an applicator / Trowel, fill the recess formed by the edges of the sheets with Gyproc Easi-Fill®/Pro-Fill®.
  • Centre the paper tape along the joint and using a Taping knife / Trowel press the tape down into the Easi-Fill®/Pro-Fill® ensuring no air bubble remain behind the tape.
  • Immediately apply a thin coat of Easi-Fill®/Pro-Fill® over the surface of the tape (100-150 mm wide).
  • Allow it to dry.

Second Coat

  • Apply a second coat of Gyproc Easi-Fill®/Pro-Fill® with an Applicator / Trowel.
  • Ensure that this coat extends outside the area of the first coat (200-250 mm wide).
  • Allow to thoroughly dry and scrape back any build-up of compound along the joint.

Third Coat

  • Apply a finishing coat of Gyproc Easi-Fill®/Pro-Fill®/Pro-Top® with an Applicator / Trowel.
  • Joint edges should be feathered at least 50 mm beyond the edges of the previous coat.
  • Allow to dry. Lightly sand in the same direction as the joint using finer sandpaper.

When jointing two cut edges or sheet ends, which are not recessed, care needs to be taken to ensure the surface build-up of jointing material is minimized. The same basic procedure for tapered edges joints are to be followed as required for the tapered edge method. Take extra care when bedding in the tape to ensure that sufficient jointing material remains behind the tape. The absence of a recess can often lead to the entire jointing material being forced out from behind the tape.
