TRASDOSADO DIRECTO:
Formado por una placa de yeso laminado de 15 mm. de espesor atornillada a un lado de una estructura metálica de acero galvanizado de canales horizontales y montantes verticales de 48 mm. y 0,6 mm. de espesor con una modulación de 400 mm. a eje, colocación de lana de roca de 40 mm. de espesor, incluye encintado y empastado.

Any suggestions for encintado y empastado ?

Many thanks

Agree with Helena:

"I think I would probably translate 'cintas y pastas de juntas para encintar y empastar' as 'tape and jointing compound for hiding/finishing seams'."

Sounds like the installation of a drywall ceiling.

What is Spackle? (UK) I have heard of using spackle as a filler. I have not seen it in the UK. What is it? is it a trade name, do I get it from a DIY store, specialist composite supplier or where?

In the United States, spackling paste is a putty used to fill holes, small cracks, and other minor surface defects in wood, drywall, and plaster. Typically, spackling is composed of gypsum plaster from hydrated calcium sulfate and glue.

@Karen The joints can either be called 'joints' or 'seams'.

I'm including the following reference because I wasn't sure if 'jointing compound' was used in the UK.

Many new homes these days are not plastered internally.

The stud partition walls, and often the inner faces of the outside walls too, are lined with plasterboard, but this is not skimmed with plaster. Instead, the screw holes are filled, and the joints between the boards are covered with paper tape and filler (called jointing compound). The paper surface of the plasterboard is the only finish, and paint or wallpaper is applied directly to it.

yes, definitely on the right track, but further on it says:
cintas y pastas de juntas para encintar y empastar.

So 'taping and joint compound' would be great for translating cintas y pastas, but still leaves encintar y empastar... Or is it unnecessary repetition?

taping and joint compound

'includes taping and joint compound'

Joint tapes work with ready-mixed or dry, powder-type joint compounds to reinforce and finish the joints between adjacent gypsum boards. Paper tape with metal strips is available to reinforce exterior corners.

Joint reinforcing compounds are of three general types:

1. A taping or bedding compound used to attach the tape to board

2. A finishing or topping compound used especially for finishing

3. An all-purpose compound to be used for both embedding and finishing.

Most ready-mixed joint compounds contain water-soluble organic thickeners and adhesives or synthetic resins. These products achieve their strength and adhesion through drying and are consequently referred to as “drying compounds.” The loss of water inherent in drying compounds results in shrinkage, which necessitates several thin applications of the compound. Each application must dry thoroughly before the next application is started to ensure the desired result. Synthetic resin compounds such as “vinyls” will keep longer than the organic water-soluble types. Ready-mixed joint compounds come in two consistencies: one for hand application and the other for machine application.

Finishing drywall joints involves three basic steps that can take as many as four days to properly complete. The first step is called the taping step. The second step is called the filler step, and the third step is the finishing coat. Each step involves applying a layer of joint compound that is wider than the one before.

First Coat (Taping Coat)
The first step in the finishing process is called the taping step. During this step you are embedding drywall tape over the joints in the walls and ceiling. Some DIYers will choose to use a fast-setting compound for this first step.

Regular drywall compound shrinks too much to be used for wide gaps and voids (Photos 2 and 3). And it takes days to dry. Setting compounds, on the other hand, harden quickly and hardly shrink at all. And you can apply your tape coat as soon as they harden. No waiting. You buy setting compounds powdered in sacks (photo 4). Mix them with water in your mud pan to a paste consistency, about the same as regular compound, and press them into gaps, especially those wider than about 1/4 in.

A butt joint is created when two square edges of plasterboard meet. As a result, the jointing tape and compound used to conceal the joint will sit above, rather than level with, the surface of the plasterboard.

When taping butt joints, the primary aim is to minimise the amount of build-up applied and to make the wall as smooth and flat as possible.

Set of taping knife, joint compound, paper jointing tape, sandpaper
Paper jointing tape should be used to tape butt joints.

You will also need a set of three taping knives 150mm (6"), 200mm (8") and 300mm (12") in width, jointing compound and some sandpaper.
