Couldn’t I just attach drywall to the tile with adhesive instead of screws?

• <div><p>Here’s another instance of where the answer is you <i>could</i>, but that doesn’t mean you <i>should</i>. Yes, part of the issue is getting the drywall to stay in place on the tiles, and it’s understandable that screws will crack the tiles and cause them to crumble. That’s why it’s a much better idea to screw drywall into studs, not your porcelain or ceramic tile. But aside from issues with attaching the drywall, it’s also about ensuring a smooth application without trapping moisture inside.</p></div>

Q: How do I maintain drywall in a business setting?

• <div><p>Regular inspections, repainting, and avoiding moisture exposure help maintain integrity.</p></div>

Q: Do you need to cover a whole wall to soundproof?

• <div><p>You&rsquo;ll get better results if you soundproof the whole wall. A hole through which light can pass can also let sound waves in. Acoustical or silicone sealant applied to holes and cracks can block enough sound to make a difference. However, the more layers absorb vibrations and slow or stop sound waves, the less noise you&rsquo;ll have. </p></div>

Q: Can you put drywall directly on ceiling joists?

• <div><p>Drywall can be installed directly on ceiling joists. In fact, this method is common in many construction projects. Drywall sheets are attached to the joists using screws, ensuring a secure and stable installation. Before attaching the drywall, it's important to mark the joist locations on the ceiling, allowing for accurate screw placement. Proper spacing between screws and careful taping and mudding of joints are crucial to creating a smooth and flawless ceiling surface. If the joists are in good condition and level, installing drywall directly on them is a practical and efficient approach.</p></div>

Q: How do I choose the right size of wall anchors?

• <div><p>Choosing the right size of wall anchors is essential for a secure installation. The size of the wall anchors should match the size of the screws you plan to use. Follow the manufacturer's recommendations for the specific wall anchors you purchase. Typically, the packaging of the wall anchors will indicate the appropriate screw size and diameter for a proper fit.</p></div>
