4 Ways Drywall Adhesive Makes Your Job Faster

You put a lot of time and labor into installing drywall. Measuring, cutting, fitting and fastening need to be done just right to secure each panel. 

As a contractor, you want to do every job efficiently without sacrificing the quality of your work. Drywall adhesive is a great way to save time and labor without compromising quality — but only if you are choosing the right product for the job.

DSA20™ is the drywall adhesive that doesn’t sag on the stud or skin over, and it makes wall and ceiling applications much easier than using just fasteners alone. There’s a reason it is the contractor’s preferred drywall adhesive — as one of the strongest adhesives on the market, DSA20 delivers high-quality results and lets you complete your jobs faster.

Designed for contractors and professionals, DSA20 cuts down on the number of mechanical fasteners you have to install, reducing the amount of mudding and sanding needed to create a finished, paintable surface. This also helps eliminate fastener pops and callbacks for repairs, making it a great way to improve your bottom line. 

1. A Better Ceiling Installation

Fastening drywall to a ceiling is a really tough job, especially if you are working with fasteners alone. You want everything to run like a well-oiled machine when it comes to this area of drywalling, and one way to help your installation run more smoothly is using DSA20.

The fastest way to a finished, flat ceiling is drywall adhesive. With DSA 20, you can greatly reduce the number of fasteners, especially when working on flat ceilings, a popular interior design trend these days. 

DSA20 drywall adhesive can handle the challenges of ceiling applications so the panels don’t sag or slump when attached to the ceiling. DSA20 is easy to apply and adheres quickly and won’t roll or slide off studs, so there is no chance of it dripping and running from the ceiling and onto the subfloor or you.

2. Faster Installation & Less Labor 

Drywall adhesive saves you labor on the finishing side — and that results in improving your installation times as well as your bottom line. Because there is no need to install fasteners in the field area, you are using about 66% fewer fasteners overall compared to standard installation. 

DSA20 is designed to grip to drywall stronger and better than other adhesives and helps prevent drywall from pulling away. Plus, because there are fewer fasteners used, there are fewer fastener pops. This means you cut down the time and labor spent mudding, sanding and finishing, saving you time and money. It also allows for buildings to have some settling and movement which would normally cause drywall cracks.

3. Better Dry Time 

Timing can be everything when it comes to installing drywall. You need an adhesive that is guaranteed to stick to the stud so you can complete the job on time. DSA20 is designed to withstand any environment and won’t sag in the heat. 

DSA20 offers a high level of flexibility and doesn’t skin over prior to installation. Once installed, it quickly adheres and secures so you can get more work done on-site on the same day. 

4. Fewer Callbacks 

There is nothing more frustrating than repairing fastener pops. When you’re on a job site, you need to be able to trust that your materials will hold up to the elements and last so you can complete the job without worrying about extra time and money spent on callbacks. 

Because DSA20 reduces the number of fasteners used for installing drywall, you won’t be going back to the jobsite because your adhesive gets it right the first time.
