Overview

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Pressurized walls are temporary walls built with reams of 1/2 (6 mm) to 5/8 (16 mm) sheet rock (plasterboard), metal 2 x 3s (approx. 5 x 7 cm) or 2 x 4s, or taped, plastered and compounded. After the frame-out process, 1 1/4 (32 mm) sheet rock screws are used to attach the drywall to the pressurized 2x4s that contact the floor, the ceiling and the sides of the property's walls. In order to prevent structural or architectural damage, only T-nuts and leveling screw pads are used on those studs. No additional fasteners or adhesives are used to add stability to the frame work. Generally, hollow core doors or French style doors are recommended to prevent weight overload and/or shifting of a pressurized wall. Completed walls are often painted the same color as existing walls. Many landlords allow tenants to construct pressurized walls as long as they remove the walls before vacating the apartment.
