Understanding Drywall Smoothness Levels

We transform ordinary walls into extraordinary canvases of smoothness and precision. Understanding the different levels of drywall finish is essential for achieving the perfect look and feel for your space. Let’s explore the various levels and why our Level 5 finish is the ultimate choice for those who demand nothing but the best.

Level 1: This basic finish is typically used in areas not visible to the public, such as attics or service corridors. The joints are covered with tape set in joint compound, but no additional finishing is done. 

Level 2: Ideal for garages, warehouses, and other non-living spaces, Level 2 involves a second coat of joint compound over the tape, providing minimal smoothness. 

Level 3: This intermediate finish includes an additional coat of joint compound and is suitable for areas that will receive a medium or heavy texture finish. It's a common choice for surfaces that will be covered with wallpaper or textured paint. 

Level 4: A popular choice for residential and commercial interiors, Level 4 involves three coats of joint compound and a thorough sanding to achieve a smooth surface. It's perfect for flat paint, light textures, or wall covering. 

Level 5: The pinnacle of drywall finishing, Level 5 involves an extra skim coat of joint compound over the entire surface of the drywall, followed by meticulous sanding. This finish ensures the smoothest, most uniform surface possible, ideal for high-end interiors. 

Benefits of a Level 5 Drywall Finish

Unmatched Smoothness: The Level 5 finish is renowned for its ultra-smooth, flawless appearance. This makes it the perfect choice for high-visibility areas where every detail matters. 

Perfect for Paint and Wallpaper: Whether you're opting for a bold, flat paint colour or a sophisticated wallpaper, a Level 5 finish ensures that the surface is completely uniform, allowing your chosen finish to look its absolute best. 

Eliminates Imperfections: The additional skim coat used in a Level 5 finish effectively hides surface imperfections, joint lines, and texture variations, providing a pristine backdrop for your interior design. 

Increases Property Value: High-quality finishes like Level 5 can significantly enhance the aesthetic appeal and value of your property. It's an investment that pays off in terms of both beauty and resale potential.fs
