How to level the walls with plasterboard video lessons.
This method has a number of undoubted advantages over the others - this is the high speed of the work, the possibility of installing additional sound and heat insulation, no need to remove the old coating, and even walls with gypsum cardboard with video instruction becomes even easier. The site of the apartment renovation itself continues a series of articles on plasterboard.
There are two basic methods for leveling the walls of GCR - without the installation of the frame and with the installation. In the first case, a simple pasting of walls with sheets of gypsum board( it is used only for even solid walls).The second method is used in case of danger of wall subsidence or deformation.
We start with the markup. First, we use the level to draw parallel lines on the ceiling and on the floor. This is the markup under the starting frame. Further, on strictly vertical lines on the walls every 60 cm or 40 cm, we plan to attach the suspension points for the bearing profile. This distance is due to the fact that the standard width of the gypsum board is 120 cm. Thus, the edges of the sheet will lie approximately in the middle of the bearing guides.
It is necessary to determine in advance the places of the wiring outlet, the need to use mineral wool or cork sheets for heat and noise insulation. Aligning the walls with gypsum boards goes to the next stage.
We proceed directly to the installation. To the floor and ceiling screws screw the pieces of metal galvanized profile - the so-called starter frame. In order to achieve reliable fixing, you need to use 3 - 4 screws per meter profile. Then fasten the dowels with metal dowels to the wall. We insert the supporting guide in the starting frame, and the upper edge of the guide should not rest on the upper profile. Consistently attach the self-tapping screws to the metal carriers to the starting frame and suspensions. Insert the next guide. It is recommended to put small wooden blocks under the rails at the connection points with the suspensions to give more rigidity to the whole structure. Our tips for working with profiles and sheets will help you.
We begin to mount the sheets of plasterboard. Preliminary it is necessary to process sheets special water-repellent primer. Next, self-tapping for gypsum cardboard we attach the sheets to the frame, proceeding from the calculation that one self-cutter goes to 30 cm. After installing the last sheet, we seal the seams with a serpent and shpaklyu. After drying, it is required to sand the irregularities with sandpaper. Now cut openings for sockets and pull the cable. We produce the final puttying and grinding of the entire surface of the GCR.We take into account that any type of puttying of walls by your own hands is suitable for wallpapers, only the finish for paint, but it is not needed for tiles.
