Jointing and finishing is the process through which gypsum Boards systems are transformed into smooth, structurally sound walls and ceilings. This process eventually determines the look of the interiors.
Traditionally, the quality of a surface has been judged subjectively, with the use of phrases such as “ready-for-painting”, “ready-for-covering” and so on. However, these are not suitable for describing the level of finish. A “finished” and “ready-for-painting” surface for one person may be a sub-standard one for another.
The quality of finish of gypsum board is defined by the Euro Gypsum standards (based on EN 13963). The level of finish is affected by the dimensional tolerances of boards, metal framings and level of workmanship. The flatness of the Drywall and Ceiling also impact the level of finish.
