Ceiling  and  Wall  Covering Ceiling  and  wall  covering  may  be  broadly divided   into   PLASTER   and   DRY-WALL covering.  Dry-wall  covering  is  a  general  term applied  to  sheets  or  panels  of  wood,  plywood, gypsum,  fiberboard,  and  the  like.  A  plaster and/or ceiling covering requires a “plaster base” and a “plaster ground” before it is installed. The plaster  base,  such  as  gypsum,  fiberboard,  or  metal lath, provides a plane-surface base to which the plaster can be applied. Wooden strips of the same thickness  as  the  combined  thickness  of  the  lath and plaster, called plaster ground, are installed before the lath is applied to serve as guides for the  plasterers  to  ensure  uniform  plaster  thickness around  doorframes  and  window  frames  and behind  casings. The use of dry wall over the lath-and-plaster finish   is   rapidly   increasing.   Installation   or construction time is faster with the application of dry wall. Being wet, plaster requires drying time before  other  interior  work  can  be  started. Gypsum is one of the most widely used types of dry-wall finishes. It is made up of a gypsum filler faced with paper or with a foil back that serves as  a  vapor  barrier  on  exterior  walls.  It  is  also available  with  vinyl  or  other  prefinished  surfaces. It comes in 4- by 8-ft sheets and in lengths of up to   16   ft   for   horizontal   application.   Notice   in 6-35
