Plaster is a much older approach to the construction of interior walls than drywall, but both have evolved over the years. There are multiple ways to apply each approach, but their benefits are pretty much the same today as they've always been.

Drywall Plaster
More common, faster to install, less labor intensive, less expensive Less common, considered higher end, stronger finish, more labor and cost

You can debate and add to these points, but the overall pro's and con's that we saw most often distinguished the two options in this way.

Levels of Quality
Where things begin to get complicated is in the way that each of the two materials are installed. Decisions about technique can have as much or MORE of an influence on the finished quality, feel and cost of either approach. From our experience, few people actually understand all these factors well...this is where my aformentioned respect for Jeannie comes into play.

Plaster
For plaster, the options today include ways that new plaster walls can be built but also ways deterioriated walls can be salvaged. While we'd already decided our walls had to come down because of extensive damage to the lathe, don't jump too quickly to that conclusion if your own walls just look bad--alternatives for repairing plaster are worth researching and can be less expensive than replacing entire walls.

If you're creating new walls, the most common modern plaster system is "veneer plaster"--drywall-like gypsum panels commonly called blue board. It goes up like drywall panels at first but is finished with a two-coat veneer plaster that ends up looking more like plaster than drywall.

Drywall
For drywall, there are actually more choices than I hear most people (except Jeannie!) talk about. The first and more commonly discussed choice is in wall board size--sheetrock is available in either 1/2" or 5/8" thickness. The benefit of the 5/8" is added strength, less sagging, and extra sound deadening. On the other hand, 1/2" is definitely easier to work with and less expensive.

You can hang drywall with nails and screws...many contractors hang drywall with nailguns in order to put it up quickly. We are fans of drywall screws because it is more difficult for them to "pop", break the tape and show through the finish.

The next consideration is the level of finishing--I was surprised when J's research turned up an industry standard for five levels of finishing. None of our contractors or the books we'd read mentioned these options. The fifth level seems to go beyond the average installation--mudding all joints and screws--and describes a 'joint compound skim coat' not that different from the plaster veneer technique.

So, beyond choosing between materials, it is important to get specific about the finishing techniques to be used and the level of finish that you want--especially if you're hiring a contractor.

Cost Differences
There seems to be at least as much debate about the real cost differences between options as there is about the merits of each material and technique. While the bottom line is that drywall is cheaper than plaster, the range of material and finishing choices can provide a number of price points between the two extremes.

However, if you're looking yourself, don't take our word for it. On top of regional differences, on any given day a contractor's slow or busy schedule can push prices in either direction.

Driveways in OldhamBrick Patios
Brick patio is practically the best for any homeowners because of its element that adds charm to any type of patio. Accordingly, brick patios are built to last a lifetime. Bricks are durable. Because of its timeless lasting designs, they tend to have that rustic look on your patios, giving it a classic, antique touch. Brick patio designs apparently have this ability to withstand different weather conditions therefore making it one of the sturdiest as far as durability is concerned.

With the bricks' earthy tone, expect that it could easily blend in well with your patio, no matter what your patio design is. Building a brick patio is relatively easy so long as you know which type of brick you will be using; either cored or solid, plus the color and the shape that in you want it to be.

There are types of bricks patio patterns that we can actually choose from. One is that type of brick that is light in color, called the face brick. Another one is the flash brick with colors that are heat generated, the used brick, which as the name implies, bricks from old buildings, and finally the embossed brick, having patterns on its face.

The type of patio brick that most people use is the face brick. This brick signifies a beauty so timeless; with its variety of different colors to choose from. The designs consequently add character to brick patios. As far as elegance is concerned, the highly textured embossed brick is absolutely perfect for that classic elegant look. However, this brick is hard to maintain because of it being difficult to clean. Whichever patio brick is preferable for you; make it a point to cover it with sealants. Sealants prevent weather as well as moisture around, from leaking to the bricks, which in the long run, causes cracks.

If you feel like sitting around in your most comfortable chair, with nothing in mind but daydreaming about your most dreamt about exotic location, feel free to use bricks in creating your patios that jungle theme. Because of the bricks' earthy color and tone, you can easily have that natural feel the moment you sit down and feel the warmth of your brick patio.

When collaborated with a unique colorful garden, brick patios give that sense of charm and old world feel. Instead of using concrete as the foundation of your brick patios, using sand is the more practical way of doing so. Aside from saving your time and much of your efforts, using sand can also help you stretch your budget because it can save you from spending hundreds of dollars..

Go over Internet sites for you to learn more about brick patios. There, you can see different designs to choose from. Try also to visit your friends whom you are aware having brick patios. You can always ask them things that you need to know about. Another option is going over some magazines for further references. These magazines can somehow shed light to some confusion you may encounter. If you really feel the need for professional help, the best way is to hire experts. They may be expensive, but then their help and work is guaranteed for your total satisfaction.
