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

Q: Why are studs 16 inches apart?

• <div><p>In framing, studs are placed at 16-inch intervals to coincide with the typical spacing of wall materials such as drywall or plywood. This spacing is called &quot;on-center&quot; and is necessary for maintaining structural stability and efficient use of materials. The 16-inch spacing also helps to distribute the weight evenly across the building's structure. For those looking to cut material costs and improve energy efficiency, 24-inch stud spacing can be employed through a method called &quot;advanced framing&quot;. This requires careful planning and adherence to local building codes to ensure structural integrity. </p></div>

Q: What is a typical drywall finish level?

• <div><p>Level 4 is the most commonly used drywall finish for visible interior walls. Finishing the drywall to Level 4 rovides a smooth surface ready to be painted with flat paint. </p><p>Level 2 and 3 finishing are also common, particularly on walls that will get covered.</p></div>

Q: How much does wall installation cost?

• <div><p>Costs range from $5,000 to $15,000, depending on size, material, and design complexity.</p></div>
