Are you bored with your old, cracked walls, which are not correct either wallpaper or paint? Would you like to drastically change the look of the house, but major repairs have no money? One of the best solutions of the situation – sheathe the walls of sheetrock. Drywall – an environmentally friendly building material, made that quite clear from the title, made from plaster and cardboard. So, all very simple: first create a supporting framework to which then attached sheets. Consider the technology in detail. For a start pick up metal profiles to be used for mounting the carrier frame.
Selecting a particular type of profile depends on the type of room, height and wall thickness. Need for fixing a drill with a drill, the diameter dowel, hammer, screwdriver, putty knife, scissors for metal cutting profile, carpenter's knife and a cutter for drywall. Also useful: a pencil, level and, of course, the meter. Let's start Take a level or plumb line and produce on the floor and ceiling of the markup that defines the distance from the old wall to the attachment profile. Using a meter, spend it on the line on which will be fixed profile.
Glue the rubber strips on the "sole" rack and rail profiles. Install and tighten the profile along the lines of markup. For this drill the holes for the dowels through the holes in rails on the ceiling and the floor. This can be done directly through the walls of profiles needed points. Vertical profile attached to the ceiling and outdoor guide profiles using self-tapping screws or brackets and the wall – fixings, which are driven in every 600-1000 mm. Correct fasteners – a guarantee of a smooth wall surface. If you have a cold or damp home, recommend that you put between the profiles of rack-mount frame mineral fiber board. After installation and adjustment of the frame profiles generate the necessary communication wiring (ducts, electrical wiring, pipes, etc.). Now it is time to begin installation of panels using a screwdriver and screws. Tight-fitting panels screwed to the shelf profile will create a rigid structure. Plasterboard fixed vertically. The edges of the panels must be flat and fitted in size. To trim the edge of the sheet used hacksaw, jigsaw or carpenter knife. Smooth edge plasterboard is obtained using marginal planing. After preliminary training on the floor, proceed to the fastening sheets of drywall to the frame. C interval 200-250 mm fasten the sheets to the profile screws. How can thoroughly customize to each other edge, depends on the general form of the finished wall. If you need to leave space for an opening (window or door), it is necessary consolidate the profiles in terms of its edge and screw evenly cut along the edge of a sheet of drywall. Without applying much effort for a couple of days can be quite enough to cope with spacious rooms, easily overcoming the different irregularities and cracks in the walls.
