Washington What You Should Know: Installing Sheetrock/drywall on the walls or ceiling of your manufactured or mobile home is a great way to improve the look and feel of your living space. Sheetrock, also known as drywall, is typically a gypsum-based material that is used to finish the interior walls and ceilings of a home. The installation of Sheetrock/drywall requires the use of a few basic tools and materials. To begin, you will need to measure and mark the walls or ceiling of your manufactured or mobile home to determine where the Sheetrock will be installed. You will then need to cut the Sheetrock to the necessary size and shape, and use screws or nails to fasten it to the walls or ceiling. Finally, you will need to apply a layer of joint compound to the seams and edges of the Sheetrock to create a smooth, even finish. Depending on the size of the job, you may need to use a hand-held drywall trowel, or a larger drywall taping machine. There are several types of Sheetrock/drywall available, including standard, fire-rated, moisture-resistant, and sound-resistant varieties. Depending on the application, you may need to use a specific type. For example, if you are installing on a ceiling, you may want to use a fire-rated Sheetrock to help protect against potential fire hazards. Additionally, if you are installing in a bathroom or kitchen, you may want to use a moisture-resistant or sound-resistant Sheetrock to help prevent the growth of mold and mildew and reduce noise levels.
