Are plaster walls better than drywall?

• <div><p>Drywall installation is considerably faster and more affordable than plastering. Because plastering involves applying a wet material, it’s more time-consuming, takes longer to dry, and is more prone to cracking. It doesn’t tend to be as insulative either. If you need resurfacing work done on the walls, it's not unusual for the <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/cost-plaster-walls.htm">cost of plastering</a> to hit $10 per square foot, which is much higher than the drywall installation costs of $1.50 to $3 per square foot.</p><p>If you’re looking for good soundproofing and want a high-end look in a historic home, though, plastering may be the better option.</p></div>

How much does drywall insulation cost?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-insulation-cost.htm">Drywall insulation costs</a> around <b>$1,800</b>, on average, but prices can range from <b>$500 to $4,500</b>, depending on a few different factors. The following things are important considerations to make when pricing out your insulation project:</p><ul><li><p>Square footage of insulation</p></li><li><p>Type of insulation </p></li><li><p>Climate in your area and the insulation R-value required</p></li><li><p>Whether or not your walls are already finished</p></li><li><p>Accessibility of the area </p></li><li><p>Whether or not you need old insulation removed first</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Q: What’s the difference between drywall tape and mesh?

• <div><p>Drywall tape is made of paper, while drywall mesh is made of fiberglass or metal. Drywall mesh patches are suitable for repairing small holes in drywall, while paper drywall tape holds a crease better for corners. You need joint compound to adhere drywall tape to the wall, while mesh patches may be self-adhesive.</p></div>

Q: Is it easier to finish horizontal or vertical drywall seams?

• <div><p>How you <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/drywall-always-needed-hard-do-right.htm">hang the drywall</a> can affect the finishing process. It's often easier to finish horizontal drywall panels, as the seams run across the wall rather than up and down. Standard drywall panels are 48 inches wide, so the seam is easy to reach without bending down or stretching your arms.</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>
