Q: Can you speed up plaster drying times?

• <div><p>Yes, you can speed up the time it takes for plaster to dry, but it's important to do so carefully to avoid issues like cracking or crumbling. Proper ventilation is key; open a window or use a fan to circulate air in the room. Heat can also accelerate drying, but be cautious, as too much heat can cause the plaster to dry too quickly and crack. Check the plaster's packaging for the recommended drying temperature and set the room's thermostat accordingly. While managing humidity is important, avoid using a dehumidifier, which can remove moisture too aggressively and result in crumbly plaster.</p></div>

Q: What’s the purpose of textured walls?

• <div><p>Textured walls are a great way to hide imperfections left over by drywall installation, but many homeowners feel like it&rsquo;s an outdated look, despite there being so many <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/drywall-texture-tips-and-trends.htm">types of drywall texture</a>. And while the textured walls of today are a far cry from the popcorn ceilings and faux stucco of our grandmother&rsquo;s homes, if you want a more modern look or you want to install wallpaper, it&rsquo;s time to smooth out your walls. </p></div>

Q: Does it matter which way you lay drywall?

• <div><p>It doesn&rsquo;t matter which way you lay drywall, and you can choose to install it horizontally or vertically depending on the size of the wall and how tall the ceiling is. It&rsquo;s easier to lay drywall sheets vertically if you have a taller ceiling, but laying sheets horizontally makes it easier to apply joint compound. </p></div>

Q: What causes separation between a wall and ceiling?

• <div><p>A common cause of separation between a wall and the ceiling is truss lift&mdash;this can happen to the ceiling of rooms directly under the attic when the seasons change and wood building materials dry out, shrink, and shift. Roof trusses often dry out at different speeds, and if the bottom pieces dry out faster than the top pieces, they can shrink and pull the attached drywall away from ceilings and walls, causing cracks. Fortunately, truss lift is only a cosmetic problem, not a structural problem, and you can fix it by separating the ceiling drywall from the roof trusses, and patching the cracks.</p></div>

Q: How long does Venetian plaster last?

• <div><p>Venetian plaster is a highly durable wall finish that becomes a rock-like substance once dried, making it last longer than most other wall finishes. Its lifespan can range from decades to centuries, potentially lasting a lifetime. Key factors influencing its longevity include the quality of the initial application, whether it's properly sealed against moisture, and how the wall is maintained and treated (e.g., how often it is touched or bumped). Due to its mineral content, it can also develop a patina over time.</p></div>
