About RM General Contracting Inc
Steel Stud Framing
River Mountain Drywall and RM General Contracting have been leaders in steel stud framing for over 30 years.
A steel framing system begins with steel studs and track. What started as an easier-to-use and more durable replacement for wood studs is now a fixture in the commercial building industry and an up-and-comer on the residential front.
Drywall
Drywall is a construction material consisting of thin panels of gypsum board. The board is composed of a layer of gypsum rock sandwiched between two layers of special paper. Drywall makes for a much more efficient method of construction than the common earlier technique of applying wet plaster to a gypsum lath.
In addition to being easy to install, drywall provides a measure of fire protection to buildings. Gypsum contains large amounts of water bound in crystalline form; 10 square feet (1.0 sq m) of gypsum board contains over 2 quarts (2 1) of water. When exposed to fire, the water in the gypsum board vaporizes; the temperature of the panel remains at 212°F (100°C) until all of the water is released, protecting the underlying wood framework. Even after all of the water evaporates, the gypsum itself will not burn and continues to provide substantial fire protection.
