What Is a Level 1 Drywall Finish?
In level 1, the drywall finish is done through a process known as ‘taping’. This process means that the drywall has a layer of solvent such as joint compound placed over the gaps between the sheets of drywall. A piece of paper tape is then put over the solvent, and is pressed into it using a special drywall tool. The tape is then left to dry. This is the most basic of finishes, and so there is little concern for signs of tool marks, cleanliness of working, or other things which we would take for granted on a ‘finish’.
