We produce gypsum boards with our own hands.

Drywall is a composite material sold as sheets. Sometimes this material is called "dry plaster". The basis of this sheet is gypsum, and the outer layer is lined with cardboard. Often, components that help to "specialize" a sheet are added to the gypsum base, giving it additional properties, thereby widening the range of their application. As a result, not only standard drywall sheets are produced, but also fireproof as well as waterproof sheets (GCR, GKLO or GKLV). The cardboard layer of this sheet performs two very useful functions, acting as a reinforcing frame and a good foundation, which can be finished with almost any material: wallpaper, paint, plaster, ceramic tile, etc. If you mount gypsum boards with your own hands, you will need a spatula and a high-quality Screwdriver.

Fire-resistant plasterboard sheets have found their application in communication mines, various air ducts, etc. Waterproof gypsum cardboard, which includes special substances that destroy fungi, found its application in the decoration of bathrooms, bathrooms and kitchens. As a result, gypsum boards are at the same time a hard and flexible material that gives good sound insulation and thermal insulation, while it is environmentally friendly, since it does not contain any harmful toxins. It is worth noting that it is quite simple to perform many gypsum plaster structures with your own hands, including you can independently level the walls, as well as easily do a partition or an arch of gypsum board with your own hands.

Mounting options.

There are several options for how you can work with gypsum cardboard with your own hands, applying it for decorating or building walls, partitions or arches. Having learned to mount gipsokartonnye designs with your own hands, you can mount any of the structures, whether it's a partition, ceiling, wall or arch of gypsum board with your own hands.

You can paste sheets on the base wall. Also it is possible to execute facing of brick, concrete and other walls, applying a metal profile, or to make a partition or an arch completely from gypsum cardboard.

As a rule, a profile or metal frame is created, but the use of wooden beams is also acceptable. The width of the framed can vary from 50 to 100mm. It is desirable to lay soundproof materials under the guiding profiles .

Aligning walls on a metal frame

The frame for gypsum board systems on the wall is mounted according to standard technology. It is much easier to create wall gypsum plasterboard structures with your own hands than to mount the ceiling, so this work with gypsum cardboard can be done by an inexperienced person. Work begins with determining the level of the future wall surface. Further along its perimeter fixed intermediate profiles, and then proceed to the installation of bearing vertical profiles.

All of them must be in the same plane. Such a result is achieved by pulling the cord in several rows between the outermost profiles. It aligns the frame. It is important to know that cross-shaped joints are not permissible when fixing plasterboard sheets. The final stage is the processing of joints and grouting of fastening points with self-tapping screws, and it is also desirable to prime the entire surface of the wall.

Alignment of walls with glue mixtures.

The work is carried out with the deviation of the wall is not 30 mm. On the back side, at the center of the sheet and perimeter with an indentation from the edge of 50 mm, glue roller is applied to the adhesive mixture. The sheet is attached to the wall, carefully verified in all directions. Having established the sheets, we fix all the joints between them.

Arches can be mounted both in a doorway, and in a brick or plasterboard wall. The installation technology will be different. One of the variants of the arched overlap is as follows:

Two sheets of plasterboard are cut to the width of the opening, and then with the help of a jig saw cut the arch blanks along the contours outlined earlier. Then both blanks need to be fixed on the established skeleton so that circles coincided.

For slopes, prepare a strip of gypsum board, drill it, wet it, give it a wet, and screw it onto the screws to the inner surface of our arch. The structures must be dried, after which we screw vertical slopes to the frame from the plasterboard, fill all joints and sand the surface of the arch.
