Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to your most frequently asked questions

Drylining is the process of fixing plasterboard sheets to walls or ceiling frames. Ames Taping is the method of applying tape and jointing compound to the joins of these boards to create a smooth, level finish. It is often faster and less messy than traditional “wet” plastering and provides an excellent surface that is ready for painting or wallpapering.
Yes, Ames Taping is an excellent choice for almost any room in your home, including bedrooms, living areas, and hallways. It provides a clean, modern look and is especially useful for creating smooth, crack-free surfaces. We can also use moisture-resistant boards and compounds for rooms like kitchens and bathrooms.
The drying time depends on the temperature, humidity, and the number of coats required. Generally, each coat needs time to dry thoroughly before we can apply the next or proceed to sanding. We ensure every stage is fully dry and set before we move forward, guaranteeing a durable finish that won’t shrink or crack later.
No, you shouldn’t have to. Part of our professional Ames Taping service includes final sanding to ensure the surface is perfectly flat and smooth. We leave your walls and ceilings in a “ready-to-decorate” state, so you or your decorators can begin painting or applying wallpaper immediately.
Yes, absolutely. If you have existing plasterboard walls where joints have cracked, screws are popping, or a previous taping job was done poorly, we can repair and re-tape these areas to restore a smooth, flawless finish. We assess the damage and provide the best solution to get your walls looking like new again.
