DRYWALL SERVICES

• Fast: Thanks to the short installation time, administrative and financial costs are reduced by 35% compared to the traditional construction system.
  
• Lightweight: Due to its weight of approximately 25 kg/m². One sheet of drywall is equivalent to 2.98 m².
  
• Easy installation: With this system, the installations (electrical, telephone, computer, sanitary, etc.) are embedded and are assembled simultaneously inside the plates.
  
• Transportable: As it is a lightweight product, transportation is facilitated by using the minimum number of workers to or within the construction site.
  
• Recoverable: Due to the characteristics in the construction of Drywall, 80% of the material can be recovered to be used again when cutting the plates.
  
• Thermal: It allows you to maintain each environment with its own temperature, avoiding energy losses in places with air conditioning or heating thanks to its thermal conductivity of 0.38 Kcal/mhºC.
  
• Incombustible: Drywall sheets are composed of 20% crystallized water that, when in contact with fire, releases the liquid, thus avoiding its propagation and notably decreasing the possibility of fire.
  Light steel constructions are lightning proof. The metallic structure conducts electrical discharges directly to the ground.
  
• Anti-seismic: Because it is mounted on a metallic structure, it offers greater safety than the traditional system. It has better seismic resistant behavior than other systems.
  
• Acoustic: The ASTM in its E90-75 process qualifies Drywall as a highly acoustic material.
  
• Durability: The Drywall System is dimensionally stable. It does not expand or contract with changes in temperature or humidity.
  It is immune to fungus and moths.
  The steel of the structure does not rust. Its surface comes with a protective zinc or galvanized coating that guarantees a long life.
  
• Economical: Being lighter, it reduces the size of the foundation and the structure. Therefore, costs are considerably reduced.
  Faster construction means shorter construction time, which translates into lower financial cost.
  It produces very little waste, which represents a substantial saving in waste removal and site cleanup.
  The steel of the structure is 100% recyclable.
  
• Convenience: Since the Drywall System is dry, there is no moisture input during construction.
  Due to its speed of assembly, execution and cleaning, it is ideal for remodeling and expansion projects.
  It is easy to install. It does not require sophisticated tools.
  Electrical and hydraulic installations are easier and faster than in traditional masonry.
  Ceiling and wall surfaces accept a wide range of finishes and coatings.
  The occupation of public space during the execution of the work is minimal.

In those areas where it is necessary, it can be sanded smoothly with fine water-based sandpaper, taking care not to damage the paper of the surface of the plate or the paper tape of the joints.
For finishing with latex paints, it is recommended the application of a first coat of sealer, not being necessary to make the total hardening of the surface.
If satin, synthetic or epoxy paints will be applied, as well as if the surface will receive flush lighting, it is recommended to perform a total puttying with Drywall Putty, applying it in two coats, as a total surface plaster. Once this total puttying is done, the sealer recommended for the type of paint chosen will be applied.

To obtain an approximate calculation of the quantity of materials required to assemble a wall, cladding or ceiling built with Drywall panels, the surface area of the wall, cladding or ceiling must be calculated and multiplied by the consumption values indicated in the corresponding table. To obtain the quantity of commercial units of each material, divide the value obtained by the values.
