Installation and plasterboard sealing by yourself When working with plasterboard, it is possible to take some of the work into your own hands and try to do it by yourself. It can be a challenge for the inexperienced, but if they use the basic types of drywall installation tools, they can carry out the work well. As I mentioned, it is important to use good quality tools and to stick to the necessary principles of plasterboard installation and taping. In addition to tools, we must not forget about quality materials, this is especially true when taping and sealing walls. It is for these jobs that you need to have the craftsmanship experience, but even that, when using quality sealants, you will realize a quality job.
What materials do you recommend?
From our experience, we recommend materials that we also have in our range. This is not a rule, but if you find a suitable substitute, at least observe the necessary basic comparable parameters of the material
What tools do I need?
All skilled and less skilled craftsmen alike have a lot of tools like spatulas and mason’s sacks commonly purchased. But when working with plasterboard and possible full-floor plastering, you ideally need to have a new trowel so that you can smooth everything you need to without unnecessary patching and possibly unnecessary sanding.
