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>

Do you need to skim coat new drywall?

• <div><p>If you’re installing new drywall, you may need to skim coat the drywall first for a smooth finish and to allow the primer to adhere to the wall. It’s only necessary if there are imperfections in your drywall due to issues with the studs or improper drywall installation. If you’re refreshing existing walls, you may want to skim coat if there are imperfections across the wall. As an alternative, you can <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/diy-drywall-repair-tips-expert.htm">repair your drywall</a> and <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-sand-drywall.htm">sand it</a> for a smooth finish before painting.</p></div>

Do you need drywall over insulation in a garage?

• <div><p>You do not need to drywall over most types of garage insulation. However, doing so can increase noise reduction, make the space more attractive, and keep children and pets from touching harmful fiberglass insulation. If you’re using cellulose or some other <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/blown-in-insulation.htm">type of blown-in insulation</a> (fiberglass and mineral wool are common), you will need drywall to contain the insulation material.</p></div>

Q: What corner bead to use for drywall?

• <div><p>Which style of corner bead you choose&mdash;whether metal or paper-faced&mdash;depends on your preference and if you&rsquo;re comfortable using metal-cutting tools and a hammer. Metal bead offers superior strength and durability but its installation is slightly more involved. We&rsquo;d say for most cases, it&rsquo;s better to use metal bead but if you&rsquo;re not comfortable working with metal, paper-faced bead will work just fine. </p></div>
