DRYWALL
We install a wide range of drywall products. This includes fire-rated, mold and mildew resistant drywall. Additionally, this can range from light-weight drywall used for building curved walls to heavy abuse board. We also install densglass for exterior sheathing, as well as tile backer and concrete boards for showers and fireplaces.
TAPING
This is the process of finishing the walls and ceilings. We offer a variety of finishings, ranging from 90 for quick dry hardened applications and regualar all purporse mud. We will always provide three coats for a high quality smooth finish.
STEEL FRAMING
Steel is dimensionally stable, it doesn't expand or contract with moisture or humidity and will not crack, split or warp. Steel stays true to its form and is a great choice for straight bulkheads. However, steel track can also be bent to order for bulkheads which follow a more complicated shape. Steel comes in light and heavy gauge, making it a great choice for drywall clouds or structural framing. Unlike traditional wood studs, the design is hollow, allowing insultaion to penetrate the stud. This results in improved effectivness for both sound suppression and thermal resistance.
INSULATION
Insulation can be used for three different purposes. The first being to help regulate temperature, expressed as an R-rating. Insulations can also be engineered for sound deadening properties as well as fire resistance. Proper insulation can add 2 hours to the fire resistance rating.
CEILING SYSTEMS
Whether you require suspended drywall celings and clouds or fire rated tile ceiling, we will install with precision.
WALL PANELING
Everyday, newer systems for wall paneling are being introduced. Each one being built for specific apllications. FRP are thin plastic sheets that can be glued over drywall, densheild or even plywood for durability. These products are great for transforming a drywalled garage or room into a water-tight spray-down surface without doing a tear-out. Other products offer a thicker corrugated plastic panel that is more ridgid and can be installed directly on top of framing.
SOUND SUPPRESSION
Seperating apartments, media rooms or bathrooms audibly from other spaces is a must when building your space. There are many systems avalible, with varying degrees of effectivness. Undersdanding sounds and how they travel is key to choosing what kind of sound suppression is right for you. There are three different catagories of sound suppression systems. High range to mid-range sounds under 60dB are easier sounds to block.Examples would be voices or a fan motor runing. Insulation is pockets of air which would be sufficent for sounds up to 60dB. Media Rooms create a full spectrum of sound, typically up to 90dB rating. In addition to sound insulation, steel resilient channel or sound glue can be placed between layers of drywall. This allows for a second air cushion to form, as well as slight movement in the top layer of drywall resulting in more sound absorbtion.
WOOD CARVING
Adding custom touches to a house can really help to make it feel like a home. We design anything from small echtings on window sills to custom made address signs and doors.
