Plasterboard partition with door: self-assembly

The gypsum board partition in the room with its own hands with the door is an excellent solution for zoning space. The structure may contain built-in shelves or grooves. They accommodate various subjects: books, decorative figurines, photographs. The configuration of the partition can be different. Very popular curved lines, non-standard shapes. However, many novice masters believe that it is quite difficult to erect such a construction. Further we will understand, whether so it.

General information

When constructing a partition of plasterboard with your own hands (how to make a design, it will be described in stages below), you should carefully follow the recommendations and follow the sequence. When designing an element, you need to accurately calculate the expected loads. The plasterboard partition under the door must have a very rigid and strong frame. It is from him in many respects will depend on the stability and durability of the structure.

Marking for the bottom profile

First of all, it is necessary to determine where the plasterboard partition with the door will be located. After selecting the place, the markup is done. On the floor, a line for the lower guide element is drawn. As it is a metal profile. It is attached to the floor using dowels and self-tapping screws. Since a partition of plasterboard with a door is being built, the lower profile is not laid along its entire length. It is placed up to the place where the box is supposed to be. If the door is in the center, then the profile is stacked in pieces from one side and the other.

Some nuances of markup

It is enough simply to make a marking of the structure, which will be installed parallel to the existing load-bearing element in the apartment. To do this, measure the same distance from the vertical overlap and draw a line. If the partition of the plasterboard with the door will be located perpendicular to the existing load-bearing structures, the layout will be a little more complicated. There are 2 options for how to do it. In the first case, a square is used. This method is suitable for the situation where the hypo cardboard partition with the door will be small in size. For the overall design, this option is not suitable, since serious errors are likely. You can use the second method. On the floor you should put a whole GVL-sheet. One side needs to be restrained in the wall, and to the second one, attach a level and draw a line. The use of a sheet allows more accurate marking of a 3-4-meter structure than the use of a square.

Upper guide

The easiest way to markup is to install a laser level. This tool will quickly and accurately show the line on the ceiling. If there is no such level, then it is quite possible to use the usual plummet. Fastening of the upper guide is also carried out by screws and dowels. The distance between the fastening elements is 50-60 cm. This stage is completed by the installation of vertical racks at each wall. Fastening is also carried out on dowels and self-tapping screws. To increase the level of sound insulation under the profiles attached to the elements of the building, it is necessary to lay the sealing tape.

Plasterboard partition with a door: the organization of a doorway

Work begins with the installation of racks. They will form a doorway. They are attached to the floor and ceiling guides. Next, from each wall with a step of about 60 cm, intermediate stands are installed. Then you need a small section of the profile. Its length should correspond to the width of the future opening plus 2 racks of 10 cm. From this segment the letter "P" is formed and is attached to the place of fixation of the upper crossbar of the future box upside down. To give greater strength, install 1-2 small racks, the size of which is equal to the distance from the crossbar to the upper (ceiling) guide profile. This creates a kind of skeleton over the future box.

Partition of plasterboard with a door: mounting features

The framework for the future box should be assembled in such a way that it is then possible to correctly place and fix the sheets. With errors in the assembly, when opening or closing the door on the partition, cracks may appear at the joints of the GWL directly near the opening. To avoid these problems, it is necessary to strengthen the rack profiles, which will be located on both sides of the box. For this, a bar (40x40 or 50x40) is inserted inside the pillars. This reinforcement will not only give the strength of the structure, but also facilitate its installation. In the absence of a bar or unwillingness to use it as additional elements of rigidity, you can install another rack profile in the immediate vicinity or close to the extreme stand. All parts are fastened with screws. Alternatively, you can immediately install a reinforced profile with additional stiffeners. The more of them, the higher the load the wall with the gypsum board door in the apartment will withstand. This completes the frame assembly. If necessary, wiring should be carried out before plating the gypsum board (if the lighting for the plasterboard partition is installed by oneself). How to make an original design design? As a backlight you can use spotlights or LED strips.

Fastening GWL

The sheathing of the frame begins with solid sheets from the wall. Mounting GVL is carried out in the same way as when decorating walls and ceilings. In the process of work, you must ensure that:

• The distance from the edge of the sheet to the place where the screw was screwed was located in the region of 1.0-0.5 cm.
• Between the fastening elements the step of 10-15 cm was observed.
• Docking of adjacent sheets was carried out on one profile.
• The hat of the samoreza was drowned in a sheet of GVL by 0.5-0.8 mm.

When constructing a wall with a single-layer plasterboard lining the length of the fastening element should not be more than 2.5 cm. When finishing two in two layers of gypsum plaster, the screw must be not less than 4.0 cm.

Using jumpers

Often, there is not enough of a solid sheet for covering any area. In this connection, it is necessary to increase GVL. In this case, it is necessary to install additional jumpers on the lateral joints of the sheets. As additional racks, the guide rail sections or the CD-60 profile are used. When installing the jumper, do not exert strong pressure on it. Fix the sheet with a short step using at least 5-6 screws for each side.

The final stage

After the GWL is fixed on one side, proceed to the cladding of the other part of the frame. Preliminary it is possible to lay inside insulating material - a heater (mineral wool or polystyrene). Its width should be slightly larger than the inter-profile space. Then the material will be installed between the posts butt, which, in turn, will eliminate the formation of gaps. After that, the second side is closed with sheets of plasterboard. After the fixing is complete, the joints are glued together with an arboreal tape and shpaklyuyutsya. Also, self-tapping hats are masked.

Finally

In general, even an inexperienced, novice master can cope with erection. All the work can be done independently without attracting anyone for help. The most important thing is to observe verticality and horizontality when installing frame elements. The situation is controlled by the construction level. The advantage of drywall is that when it is laid, a perfectly flat surface is created. Various materials can be used as a finishing coat. Very decorative wallpaper and painting. Also often the surface is covered with decorative plaster. You can use heavier materials - stone, wood panels. But in this case, a reinforced profile is required for the frame, and thick plasterboard for the plating. Otherwise, the structure can not withstand the load and collapse.
