Top 3 Types Of False Ceiling Materials For Stunning Interior Designs

Top 3 types of false ceiling for stunning interior designs

 

Top 3 Types Of False Ceiling Materials For Stunning Interior Designs

1.POP CEILING

Did you know that Plaster of Paris (POP) false ceilings are originally made from Gypsum? Yes, POP is made from the heating of Gypsum. POP (Plaster of Paris) is a powder that solidifies when mixed with water to form a desired shape. These are applied to chicken meshes, fibre boards or wooden boards to form a particular design and shape. Once dried, they are fixed to ceilings. POP False ceilings are highly durable and long-lasting. They also have room insulation properties that help maintain the temperature of the room against heat or cold.

When designed, carved, and paired with appropriate lighting, POP ceilings don’t disappoint.

Advantages of POP Ceilings:

  • 20-25% cheaper than gypsum boards and is cost-effective.
  • Can be easily moulded or sculpted into desired shape and size.
  • It is low maintenance and highly durable.

Disadvantages of POP Ceilings:

  • POP is messy to work with as it requires mixing of the powder and creation of a shape manually.
  • Not everyone is skilled to create POP ceiling designs because it is not easy to mould by non-trained professionals.
  • Wear and tear with cracking may appear if the quality of the mix is not good or the craftsmanship was not up to the mark.POP ceilings

2.gypsym ceiling

Gypsum ceilings are factory-made boards that are very popular amongst home designers. Installing gypsum boards is a seamless and quicker process than POP because it doesn’t involve a messy procedure and is in a ready-to-install shape. Gypsum boards are more expensive than POP false ceilings because they’re cut to different sizes and are made at the factory.

Advantages of Gypsum Ceilings:

  • Gypsum boards have a non-combustible core that makes it fire-resistant. They are also sound-proof and lightweight and aid thermal insulation.
  • Gypsum boards are ready-to-install and designs can be easily executed.
  • Gypsum boards are highly durable and are strong.
  • For a sleek and professional finish, go for gypsum boards. They can also be paired with laminates, wood, and other metal finishes.

Disadvantages of Gypsum Ceilings:

  • While installation is easy, in case of leakage or damage to the original ceiling, removal of gypsum boards is a difficult process. The board will have to be destroyed to access the actual ceiling.
  • Gypsum is not moisture-proof or algae-resistant. So, it is not recommended for humid and moist areas.Gypsum ceilings

3.wooden ceiling

A rustic and nature-inspiring aura comes only from wood paint. Wood brings in elegance and warmth, seamlessly to any room. The best part about this type of ceiling is that it can be used as a plank, beam or in any shape with other complementary materials. A hybrid ceiling can be made with wood and other materials like gypsum, glass, metal etc.

Lastly, finishes in veneer, varnish, melamine, and lacquers make wood appear even more glossy and sophisticated.

Advantages of Wooden Ceiling:

  • Wooden panels can be painted over for a modern, pop-based look.
  • Superior quality wood can make the false ceiling last a long time.
  • Wooden panels are available in different designs and finishes.
  • Wood can be easily installed on original ceilings with screws and nails.

Disadvantages of Wooden Ceiling:

  • Wooden false ceilings attract termites and white ants.
  • Wooden false ceilings are expensive compared to other materials.
  • Wood is high maintenance because it is susceptible to cracking and wear and tear very easily in the long run.Wooden ceiling

Types of False Ceiling and It’s Price In nepal

The fad for plain, flat ceilings is waning. False ceilings are extra ceilings that are suspended below the primary ceiling. Below the original ceiling, there is an artificial ceiling in place. These ceilings do not support any structural loads. At the very least, this should be 8 inches below the original ceilings. False ceilings can be found in a wide range of settings, including homes, offices, malls, restaurants, and theaters. The second ceiling was typically positioned below the primary building.

A false ceiling can alter the appearance of your ceiling. It improves the ceiling’s aesthetics and acts as a foundation for various types of ornamental lighting, fans, and concealed electrical wiring that regulates the ceiling’s height. It can be used to enhance the design of your home. Fiber, plastic, and wood are just a few of the materials that are available for false ceilings.

Its appearance is defined by a fake ceiling, which is a crucial component of interior design. These ceilings have a stunning appearance, are easy to maintain, inexpensive, have a long lifespan, and are very good at keeping out heat and cold.

How to Install a Suspended Ceiling

How to Fit a Suspended Ceiling: A Guide for Suspended Ceiling Installation

Nothing to be afraid of with a suspended ceiling! This suspended ceiling system is simple to install for anyone with a practical mindset. But to make things even simpler, we’ve put up some step-by-step guidelines to guide you using our 40+ years of knowledge.

TO INSTALL A SUSPENDED CEILING, WHAT DO I NEED?

  • Tape Measure 
  • Spirit Level / Laser Level
  • Drill / Screwdriver
  • Tinsnips
  • Stanley Knife
  • Safety Glasses
  • Heavy Duty Gloves 
  • Pen / Pencil for marking out

STEPS TO INSTALL A SUSPENDED CEILING

step 1

Planning and Design

step 2

Installing Perimeter/Edge Trim

step 3

Fixing the Suspension Points for the Main Runners/Main Tee Bars

step 4

Installing the Main Runners 3600mm (Main Tees)

step 5

Installing the Cross Tees 1200 & 600mm (Noggins)

step 6

Fitting the Ceiling Tiles

HOW - TO STEPS

step 1

How to Plain and Design a Suspended Ceiling for Installation

The first step is to lay out your ceiling, which you should have received if you bought your suspended ceiling from Ceiling Tiles UK. This will display where the various parts of your project are located.

step_1
Suspended Ceiling Installation Drawing

Please find the necessary details below if you have chosen not to receive a drawing or if you need further help arranging the layout of your ceiling.

  • The size of the area or rooms where your ceiling will be installed is something you’ll need to know.
  • Draw the dimensions as accurately as you can.
  • You can use graph paper to help with this.
  • Either a 600600 or 6001200 configuration is available. The type of materials needed for your ceiling will depend on the configuration you choose.
  • On your graph paper, you can now draw the layout.
  • Remember that the Main Runners must be set at 1200 centers regardless of which option you choose (600 x 600 or 1200 x 600). Place the tees so that the cuts around the perimeter are as large and equal on both sides as feasible.
  • The tiles will be simpler to trim to size as a result.
  • The 1200mm cross tees should be placed 600mm apart if you are utilizing a 600×1200 arrangement. Add 600mm cross tees between the 1200mm cross tees’ midpoints to create a 600×600 configuration.
  • It is easier to change the position of these on paper first if you are also installing recessed lights in the ceiling, so now is the time to determine where they will go.
step 2

How to Install Suspended Ceiling Perimeter / Edge Trim

Installing your edge trim around the room’s perimeter is the second step.

step_2
Perimeter Edge Trim / Wall Angle Installed
  • Make a decision regarding the ceiling’s suspension height.
  • You must make sure that there is at least 100mm of space between the new ceiling and the ceiling from which it is suspended.
  • Additional clearance will be required when installing recessed lights into the ceiling; we advise 200mm to 300mm.
  • Use a level to draw a line around the room indicating where the perimeter trim will be fixed once you are comfortable with the height of the ceiling.
  • The installation process will go more quickly and effectively if you are able to utilize a laser level. It will also yield the greatest outcomes.
  • Using drywall screws for stud walls or masonry nails for block walls, securely fasten the perimeter trim to the wall at all points. (Approximate fixings at 350mm centers.)
  • Position the perimeter trim in relation to your level line, being careful to maintain it as square as possible to avoid issues later.
  • When you reach the intersection of the trims, overlap them, then use your tinsnips to cut the bottom perimeter trim at an angle for a mitered finish.
step 3

How to Position and Fix Suspension Points for Main Runners

After successfully installing your edge trim, the third step is to measure your suspension wire and mark the locations where your ceiling will be suspended.

step_3
ATR and drop wire supports

 

  • Please refer to the drawing provided by Ceiling Tiles UK, which will illustrate where the Main Runners are situated. These will appear as a red line on the drawing.
  • The location of each primary tee along the perimeter trim should be measured and marked.
  • The Main Runner’s clip needs to be removed from the end that will rest on the trim.
  • Now protect your:
  • Ceiling Brackets: If Timber Joists are to be used to suspend the ceiling,
  • Purlin Clips: If metal purlins are used to support the ceiling,
  • Wire Hangers: Whether the ceiling is supported by concrete.
  • To hang the Main Runners, you will need to straighten the suspension wire.
  • You can link a length of wire to a fixed secure point and wrap the other end around the hook or vine eye in the drill if you can secure a hook or vine eye into the drill. The drill’s rotation will cause the wire to be pulled straight. Please only do this until the wire is straight because doing it longer than necessary could cause the wire to break. ALWAYS make sure you are wearing the proper safety eyewear and gloves when doing this.
  • Based on the drop you initially determined (the distance from the old ceiling to the new suspended ceiling), measure how long the wire has to be cut.
  • To ensure you have enough wire to wrap around and fasten the Main Runner, add 300mm to the length you require.
  • By inserting the wire through the location holes and tightly wrapping it around, you can secure the wire to the fittings that have been given.
  • To make sure the wire is fastened, give it a strong tug.
  • Fix the initial suspension wire for each main tee 400 to 600 millimeters away from the trim around the perimeter. For the locations, look at the drawing we sent you.
  • Every 1200mm along the main runner, attach a suspension wire.

 

step 4

How to Install the Main Runners(3600mm)

Fitting your main runners into your edge trim to provide the framework for your gridwork system is the fourth stage in installing your suspended ceiling.

step_4
Connecting two Main Runners

 

  •  For your Cross Tees to fit into, most Main Runners are 3600mm long and feature slots every 100mm. 50 mm from each end is where these will start.
  • Place the first Main Runner closest to the Perimeter Trim, making sure the first Cross Tee slot corresponds to the Cross Tee’s location on your drawing.
  • Continue measuring and cutting the Main Tees to size, making sure that the Main Runner’s slots match up with the Cross Tees’ locations at all times.
  • To indicate where the first row of Cross Tees will be placed, draw a string line across the space. This reveals the location of the initial pre-punched slots.
  • Place the Main Tee on the Wall Angle and Edge Trim.
  • Cut the Main Runner to size if the space in which you are constructing the ceiling is shorter than 3.6 meters.
  • If you must do this, keep in mind that the end clips must also be taken off.
  • Main Tees can be connected together to fit spaces wider than 3600mm.
  • Stretch a line from wall trim to wall trim at a 90-degree angle to ensure that the Main Tees are installed so that they are all level with the perimeter trim that is already placed.

 

step 5

How to Install Cross Tees (1200mm) Cross Tees (600mm)

Connecting your Cross Tees into the spaces within your Main Runner after all of your Main Runners have been joined to your Edge Trim is the fifth stage.

step_5
Cross Tees fixing into the Main Runner
step_5_1
Cross Tees fixing into the Edge Trim

 

  • The slots in the Cross Tees allow them to attach to the Main Runner.
  • The location of the Cross Tees will depend on whether you chose to create a ceiling with 600600 or 6001200. Please refer to your drawing.
  • The 1200 Cross Tees go into the Main Runner, and the 600 Cross Tees go into the 1200 Cross Tees’ center slot, forming 600 × 600 squares.
  • Sometimes adding 1200 x 600 tiles means you won’t need any 600 Cross Tees, and vice versa for smaller 600 by 600 ceilings where 1200 Cross Tees would not be required.
  • Drop a few full tiles onto the grid to confirm it stays square before cutting and fixing the perimeter cross tees.
  • The edge Cross Tees are sized appropriately and rest on the edge trim or wall angle.
  • The 1200 Cross Tees will be depicted as a blue line on the image that we’ll send you.
  • The 600 Cross Tees will be depicted as a Green Line on the drawing we’ll send you.

 

step 6

How to Fit Ceiling Tiles into Suspended Ceiling Gridwork

The sixth stage entails inserting your ceiling tiles into the openings in the gridwork of your newly constructed suspended ceiling.

  • The tiles can now be placed because the grid is in place and ridged. Before gently lowering the tiles into place, angle the tiles upward through the grid.
  • Use gloves while handling the tiles if they have a pattern to prevent fingerprints from being left behind and make sure the tile is perfectly aligned before placing.
  • A Stanley Knife makes it very easy to cut the tiles that will go on the margins of the ceiling.

The 8 Biggest Benefits of Prefab Homes

The 8 biggest benefits of prefab homes

I spent almost ten years living in Vancouver, British Columbia, one of the most expensive cities in the world, where the average price of a one-bedroom condo was around $600,000 (CAD), and the price of a three-bedroom detached house was over $2 million. Although there is a housing crisis in that city, it is not surprising that the container housing project just a few blocks from my tiny apartment served as the only example of a low-cost, low-waste, straightforward, mostly prefabricated tiny home project for years.
 

Prefab homes have a ton of advantages, so we thought we’d look at why this kind of building project would be ideal for you and your family.

THE 8 BIGGEST BENEFITS OF PREFAB HOMES

step 1

Prefabricated dwellings offer quick, urgently required accommodation

Thankfully, more of these prefabricated housing developments have appeared in the city over the last few years to give some of Vancouver’s most needy inhabitants a place to live (sometimes seemingly overnight!). These tiny homes and prefabricated structures offer a quick and appealing solution to the housing shortage in cities like Vancouver. And in order to lower the danger of infection during the pandemic, keeping people in their own space rather than in overcrowded shelters has been crucial.

step 2

Prefab houses can make excellent 'laneway' homes.

As a way to expand an existing home, prefabricated, modular, and compact homes are becoming more and more popular. A vulnerable family member or friend can live freely with support nearby, in-laws or grown children can be housed in a separate location, or you can use the property as an investment or mortgage helper.

step 3

Prefab houses offer significant financial savings!

Prefabricated homes offer a quick turnaround compared to a traditionally constructed apartment building or a detached home because of effective design and construction methods. This helps to reduce labor and material costs, saving you a ton of money. Reach out to any of the Leaf Score suggested prefab home firms for an estimate on your project if the cost of conventional construction has discouraged you from purchasing land or building a new home on an existing piece of property.

The bachelor-style apartments in those Vancouver container housing units measure 290 square feet, have a tiny kitchen, complete bathroom, in-suite laundry, and cost just $82,500 to build. In another neighboring social housing complex, a 325 square foot conventionally built apartment cost about $220,000 (CAD) to build in 2018 and took much longer to get to a move-in ready state. 

The cost to build a detached home in the US varies widely, but one thing is certain: traditional construction takes longer and presents more chances for mistakes to be made, which can be quite expensive.

The cost of conventionally building a new home in the US can range from $90 to more than $1000 per square foot. For a modest three-bedroom house, this equates to about $180,000 to $2 million. Naturally, the cost of labor and supplies may vary greatly based on where you live, and the price will also vary depending on whether you choose budget-friendly, cozy, or opulent materials and finishes.

Although the cost of prefabricated eco-homes can also vary greatly, given their speedy construction and nature, the expenses are more likely to match early projections. A new home may cost you between $50,000 and $100,000 (excluding land) if you choose a “off-the-rack” style studio container apartment. You should expect to pay somewhere between $200,000 and about $500,000 for a four-bedroom prefabricated luxury home (excluding land).

step 4

More things can go wrong if building is not done efficiently on site.

A prefabricated home is constructed off-site at a factory, brought in pieces to the construction site, and then quickly put together. The on-site staff often encounters few, if any, obstacles when putting the home together because these dwellings frequently adhere to a predetermined design pattern for the most part. This can result in a seamless timeline, as opposed to normal construction, with other services like plumbing and electrical work being easily planned at the appropriate time and without delays.

The time it takes to build a prefabricated home, from original design to turning the key in the lock, may simply be a few days, weeks, or months. In fact, constructing a full prefabricated home can take as long as preparing a traditional building site for construction. This is partly because cutting and assembling prefab pieces indoors eliminates the possibility of weather-related delays. The National Association of Home Builders states that the majority of prefabricated homes are constructed in about five months. Some may finish in as little as a few months, and smaller homes may finish even faster.

It is simple to understand the appeal of a prefabricated home, especially for many Millennials who are trying to enter the housing market for the first time. Construction times of up to three years for some condominium projects in some cities, or about 18 months for a conventionally built detached family home, are contrasted with those times. 

step 5

Prefab houses last longer than houses constructed on-site.

Tiny homes are considered mobile dwellings, thus they are exempt from building codes, as we note in our article on the drawbacks of tiny homes. The same is not true of prefab homes, which are frequently more resilient than typical dwellings due to the hardships of the transportation process! There will also be fewer unpleasant surprises once you move in because the majority of the work is completed off-site in a weather-proof factory, where damage from rain, animal mischief, and other causes is much less of a concern.

step 6

Prefab houses can use a lot of local resources.

Because prefab building businesses are able to predict how much of each resource they would require well in advance, prefabricated homes are frequently constructed utilizing locally sourced materials. This makes it possible for better local sourcing and bulk discounts, which lowers costs for you and benefits the environment by lowering transportation emissions.

step 7

There may be fewer permit fees and simpler procedures for prefab homes.

You know what a headache it can be if you’ve ever tried to obtain planning approval and permits for a new building project. Your prefab construction business probably knows how to expedite this procedure because prefab homes frequently have a cheaper “permit value” and quicker, pre-cleared permit processes.

step 7

Prefab houses may help the environment greatly.

When compared to a traditionally built home, prefabricated homes can be incredibly eco-friendly and extremely elegant provided you choose the correct manufacturer. Prefab homes frequently feature passive heating and cooling systems along with other energy-saving features, in addition to the possible advantages of using locally produced materials and construction. Additionally, because the businesses who construct these homes produce a large number of the same sort of homes each year, they have a wealth of knowledge regarding the optimum systems for each design.

Final thoughts on the advantages of prefabricated housing More than a quarter of all new homes being built in the United States are prefabricated homes using a combination of manufactured, panelized, and modular building methods (R). Given all these advantages of prefab homes, it shouldn't come as a surprise.

Installation Process of Gypsum Board in 7 Easy Steps

Gypsum board installation in 7 easy steps

Gypsum Board Installation: How to do? In this post, we will explain the 7 steps you must take to install your own gypsum board successfully.

USE OF GYPSUM BOARD IN CONSTRUCTION Gypsum Board is a building material that is frequently used in constructions such as ceilings, suspended ceilings, suspended ceilings and partition walls. Both sides are covered with cardboard and the surface is made of gypsum materials. It is used as illuminated in many applications from residences, offices, studios, movie theaters to large shopping malls that require sound insulation due to its beautiful teeth. Partition walls are often the first choice in homes and offices that need more space.According to the performance of gypsum mortar, there are waterproof, fireproof and noiseless gypsum boards. Discover our topics on different types of drywall!

DRY SUSPENDED CEILING While painting the ceiling or wall, the electrical installation can be covered with drywall. It also likes to play the role of thermal insulation and energy saving in buildings. Your attic doesn't have to have features to be drywall. Can be used on most types of wood, stone or metal.

DRYWALL WALL PARTITION The wet wall is built on a metal frame and allows you to have a new wall without it with all the other features of the wall. It is durable and you can paint or tile it. It provides heat and sound insulation. In this way, the main room can be divided into two. It can be used to create office rooms or to divide a room into two to create an extra room.

GYPSUM BOARD IS DURABLE AGAINST EARTHQUAKE Drywall isn't a wall, so it won't make your house earthquake proof, so don't play with your home's foundation. However, no cracks were formed during the earthquake. Due to the lightness of the plasterboard structure, the risk of harm to life is low.

GYPSUM BOARD INSTALLATION Before you begin installing drywall, make sure you have the wall materials you need and use for installation:

  • Gypsum board
  • Screws
  • Dowels
  • Washers
  • Drill
  • Metal profiles U and C
  • Trimming-Knife
  • T-square
  • An adhesive applicator
  • A measuring tape
  • A pencil 
  • A hammer
  • Sound Insulation tapes

GYPSUM BOARD INSTALLATION STEPS

step 1

Wall Control

The location and stability of the cladding wall are determined. The line on which the U-profile should be fixed is marked with a pencil. The traces on the floor are brought to the ceiling with the help of pipes and pulled to the ceiling with the help of dyed twine.

step 1
step 2

Preparation Of Metal Profiles

The length of the wall covering is determined with a tape measure and the U-profiles are cut to the desired length. C-profiles have been shortened by 1 cm from the ceiling height to facilitate installation. When the C-profiles are cut to the maximum, even the smallest error during assembly can have a significant impact during assembly. Before fixing, place the sound insulation tape on the profile. The number of C profiles is calculated by accepting profiles with a distance of 60 cm. For wet wall use, the wheelbase should be 40 cm.

step 2
step 3

Fixing U-Profiles

U profiles are mounted on the floor and ceiling with a drill with the help of dowel + screw + washer.

Read our related articles to learn more about our metal profiles!

step 3
step 4

Fixing The Staples

Choose the appropriate screws according to the distance between the wall covering and the building wall and fix it to the wall with pins and screws.

step 4
step 5

Installation Works and Insulation

Before the assembly of the panels, electrical installation and installation should be done. For example, you can use an access panel to hide plumbing or electrical maintenance.

step 5
step 6

Plasterboard Screwing

Screw the drywall to the U and C profiles on the edge of the drywall using a drill or hammer. When tightening the screws, make sure that the clearance is not more than 30 cm and that the screws are removed correctly. When nailing, the distance between the nail and the plasterboard edge should not be less than 1 cm.

step 6
step 7

Coating and Finishing Surface

You need to patch corners or fill cracks. For example, you can use all purposes together for a simpler and cleaner finish. After the first drying, the second coat should be applied. Also note that the drying time can vary from 12 to 24 hours depending on the temperature. Done, then you can start painting your drywall.

step 7

How To Install Cement Board on Walls

how to install cement board on walls

Before you start tiling your shower or bathroom wall, you need to install a cement board substrate. Proper installation of cement board substrate is essential for any wall installation, and the average homeowner can complete the project with relative ease. By following the steps in this article, you can lay cement board on your walls like a pro.

WHAT IS CEMENT BOARD USED FOR? Cement board is often used as a support or substrate for walls or floors.Cement board is almost always used as a support or substrate for walls or floors.Cement boards are also used on the exterior of the building to help protect the building from water and the environment. Cement board is more stable and waterproof than gypsum board, so it is used in most applications where water will form.

DO YOU NEED TO USE CEMENT BOARD ON BATHROOM AND SHOWER WALLS? Cement board should always be used for shower walls because of its excellent moisture resistance, impact and strength. Cement board should always be used when making bathroom walls. However, Gypsum Board can also be used on bathroom walls is 1. You are not tilling the walls and 2. A lot of water is not anticipated.

TOOLS AND MATERIALS Required Items

  • Cement Board(Square footages based on your application)
  • Cement Board Screws(Rock-on, Backer-on, etc.)
  • Alkali Resistant cement board tape.
  • Thinset  Mortar
  • Drill
  • Putty knife Trowel

We may start the installation process now that we are aware of what cement board is, why it must be used for shower and bathroom wall installations, and the materials and tools needed for installation.

CEMENT BOARD INSTALLATION STEPS

step 1

Plan Out Your Cement Board Layout

Before you start laying concrete slabs on your walls, take some time to think about your slab layout. First, make sure all cement board edges fall between the studs. If not, install additional studs or brakes as needed.

To make the installation process simpler, you should also use as many whole sheets of cement board as you can. The better off you are with fewer cuts required. Snap a chalk line if necessary to facilitate visualization. To obtain a solid sense of the arrangement, dry fit as needed.

To cut the cement board, use a utility knife and a straight edge to score the board.
 
Use a ruler and utility knife to mark the edge of the cement board
step 1
The edge of the cement board sheet should be scored using a utility knife and a straight edge.
step 1_1
Cut the mesh’s reverse side with a utility knife, then snap the cement board along the cut line.

Safety Advice: Silica, which is dangerous if inhaled, is present in cement board dust. When cutting cement board, make sure to wear a respirator, and whenever possible, try to reduce dust.

step 2

Screw Cement Board Sheets to the wall

When placing cement boards on the wall, you should leave a slight gap between each board and the surrounding walls. Do not force cement sheets together. This is to take into account expansion and contraction.

In order to prevent four corners from ever touching, space cement board joints apart by at least 16 inches. Make sure that the cement board joints do not line up with any of the floor’s cement board joints (if applicable). Once your cement board sheets are in place, use the unique cement board screws to secure the sheets to the studs.

Fasteners should be spaced 6 inches apart for ceilings and 8 inches apart for walls (on center). Around the edge and wherever a stud is located behind the sheet of cement board, fasteners should be screwed in. Using this technique, keep installing cement board sheets until the entire wall is covered.

step 2

step 2_2
Use Screws Designed Specifically for Cement Board.
step 2_1
For walls, attach cement board to studs every 8′′ O.C.
step 3

Tape The Cement Board Joints With Fiberglass Mesh Tape

After all the cement boards are installed, you need to stick alkali-resistant fiberglass mesh tape at the joints of the cement boards. If possible, use adhesive fiberglass mesh tape so that it can be easily attached to the seam and held in place.

At any joints or intersections, make sure the fiberglass mesh tape is slightly overlapping.

step 3_1
To all cement board joints, apply fiberglass mesh tape.
step 3
Tape made of fiberglass mesh for cement board joints
step 4

Fill Cement Board Joints With Mortar

Once the fiberglass mesh is fully laid, mix some thin grout and apply it to the joints using a putty knife or trowel.

Be sure to fill all joints with grout and cover all the fiberglass mesh tape you previously applied. When the grout dries, be sure to “feather” the grout across the fiberglass mesh to make sure there are no large lumps.

For all intersections and joints between cement board, keep applying mortar, filling the joints and covering the fiberglass mesh tape.

Making the cement board wall into a cohesive whole with the fiberglass mesh tape and thinset mortar will boost its overall strength. To further ensure that there is no water infiltration point at the joints, tape the seams and add cement to the junction.

step 4_1
Apply thinset mortar to the joints in your cement board after mixing.
step 4
Apply mortar using a putty knife or trowel to the cement board joints.
step 5

Allow Mortar To Dry and Prepare For Tile Installation

At this point, you have finished the cement board on the wall. Allow time for the cement board to dry (usually 24-48 hours). When the grout dries, you can start laying the tiles, which will look like this:
