A brief on Wall Patch Repair in Adelaide

Knowing how to do a Wall Patch Repair in Adelaide is handy even when you are not repairing the damage. If you do not already know, a typical wall is majorly air. It is either ‘2×4 wood studs’ or ‘metal studs’ that are placed every ‘16 inches on-center’ (when building walls you measure from the center of every stud and not the edges.) The surface is covered with drywall (a ‘gypsum’ board covered with a ‘heavy layer of paper’) which is screwed or nailed to the studs. It is quick to build & looks great but can be easily damaged, especially when the builder uses ‘1/4 inch’ thick drywall instead of ‘1/2 inch’ or ‘3/4 inch’ (these are the standard thicknesses).
