Gypsum Wallboard: Specifying Levels of Finish
Sponsored by Georgia-Pacific Gypsum
Learning Objectives:
- Define gypsum and explain how gypsum wallboard is manufactured.
- List and describe the recommended levels of gypsum board finish in terms of their appearance, application, and ability to achieve specific aesthetics.
- Identify different types of joint-treatment products to determine whether they are formulated for use in certain applications, such as bedding tape, skim coat, wall or ceiling texture, or in lower-temperatures areas.
- Compare and contrast the features of the various types of paint sheen and their effects on the final appearance of the installation.
- Write a complete specification for levels of gypsum board finish using the guidelines outlined in the Recommended Levels of Gypsum Board Finish document.
- Describe wall conditions needed for joint-compound applications and how dry times vary based on temperature and humidity.

A successful project depends on understanding the levels of finish and ensuring the specification for the level of finish is complete. This course provides an overview of gypsum wallboard manufacturing, a review of the Gypsum Association’s recommended levels of finish, and examples of writing specifications for levels of finish.
