hey i work new home construction and on all wood framed houses we use nails
on the butts and side then screw the centers ……nails are faster and
cheaper ……

I’m a professional drywall finsiher. Askthe Builder is correct in
everything he is saying. 35 years ago people always installed drywall with
nails and it will work. There are thousands of older homes across the
nation with drywall installed with drywall nails only. Now with that said
screws are much better especially in combination with drywall glue. We now
use screws only even around the perimeter because it is much better.

Hi Jeffrey; I also have a lot of experiance (44 years) And I am with you
100% on all three counts. Most people working at a drywall supply have
never hung a peace of rock. Most people that do it for a living stop trying
to learn whin they “THINK” they know how. 4 screws will hold a 12’x4′ 5/8″
peace of rock on a ceiling over 24 hours. 10 nails want hoild it 20 minutes
(the heads pull through). Nails used propery by a professional are OK. BUT;
give me screws every time.

AsktheBuilder is far too nice to many of you. He obviosuly knows more about
drywall than the drywall company you spoke with. I have found in drywall
many only have six months experience than they repeat those 6 months over
and over for the next 20 years. Yes I’ll say it because I see it all the
time. Many people have been doing it wrong their entire life.

An important point that I think I forgot to mention – my project includes
walls that run from 2.5m to 3.30m in height. A standard panel is only 2.60m
in height so some portions will have a horizontal joint in the middle of
the wall. For these panels, I’ll be using panels with the thin edges on all
4 sides (costs more but a nicer finish in the end.)

YouTube is primarily for people who upload videos to share knowledge. If
you want to settle this debate, I suggest you go get a copy of the Gypsum
Construction Handbook. It is the Bible of the industry. You will quickly
discover everything I say in this video is 100 percent accurate.

@popcorn4two Thanks. Good point, but this video was just about the
fasteners. The video you want – and should be done by you at your channel –
is about *installing* the nails. To show what you want, you need to be
hanging a sheet of drywall. Remember, the title was just about the
fasteners.

such a shame ,your sooo blind to see that there are houses world wide using

Zipper Neck · September 20, 2014 at 7:00 PM
I’ve got a question for you. What screws do you use to secure plasterboard
to plasterboard? I live in France, and here in frogland certain drywall
applications (sound insulation) involve installing a sheet of 13mm (or
other thickness) drywall onto another sheet. The vertical edges are secured
into a metal framework, but the horizonal edges are screwed into the
drywall behind it. Can you follow that? At any rate, the drywall
manufacturers specify specific screws for this (screw TTPL – which

rain shank nails and black dry walls screws are the best fixing screws i
know of
Ask the Builder · September 20, 2014 at 8:12 PM
Actually one would only know that if they were there when they were
installed. There are hundreds of thousands of houses where plaster lath and
even wood lath are installed with nails, and heavy plaster is applied over
the lath. All that weight being held with just nails.
Ask the Builder · September 20, 2014 at 8:21 PM
You are 100 percent correct. But people need to realize there are tens of
thousands of homes where drywall was installed years ago with only nails,
and there are no nail pops. Screws are better than nails, but the right
nail, driven the right way, will work.
Ask the Builder · September 20, 2014 at 9:21 PM
Dear tonks0001, Not all homeowners can justify the cost of one of those
magnificent tools. Some people can just afford nails, so we need to tell
them the right ones to use.
Ask the Builder · September 20, 2014 at 10:02 PM
Thanks for your comment. I see you have no videos at your channel. That
tells me and many other YouTubers a lot about you. Instead of trolling
around making comments, why don’t you show us what you know? As soon as you
get videos up, I will probably subscribe to learn from you.
tonks0001 · September 20, 2014 at 10:50 PM
put that hammer away they are things of the past get yourtself a good hilti
autofeed screwgun and do the job properly
petermichaelw · September 20, 2014 at 11:25 PM
screws screws screws. screws are easier to install, especially with today’s
guns, they are able to be removed usually with minimal damage (as mentioned
below) and they are much less prone to popping out from movement ,
settling, or abuse. respect to the ol’ timers who do quality work with
nails, but in 2009 i don’t see any advantage of nails over screws.
Ask the Builder · September 20, 2014 at 11:59 PM
It is not required……. The fasteners, when installed as USG says, will
do a great job for years.
