Optimal Timing for Drywall Finishings
Drywall finishings should be applied when the indoor environment has stable temperature and humidity levels to prevent cracking and ensure adhesion.
Finishing is best performed after drywall installation is complete and the drywall is fully secured to avoid damage during finishing.
Allow at least 24-48 hours for drywall to dry after installation before applying joint compound or finishing materials.
Coordinate finishing with other interior work to prevent delays caused by environmental factors or curing times.
