The okraton has a lot of advantages. With it, you can hide all communications and wiring. He also hides defects on the ceiling. The box allows you to install lighting fixtures of various types.
In order to proceed with the installation, it is first of all necessary to choose a drywall. The basis for the production of the material is gypsum, along which the paper is located.
Paper performs several basic material functions.
Paper layer function in drywall
- Protects gypsum;
- Supports stretching;
- Allows you to keep the sheet tension internally.
Before starting work, you should familiarize yourself with the installation rules for the
. These functions are used when working with this material, which in turn is divided into several types.
Types of plasterboard
- Normal. It is used for finishing dry rooms for finishing walls and ceilings.

The height of the plasterboard box on the ceiling: the correct calculation
When choosing a drywall it is important to take into account the dimensions of the sheets, because for each type of surfaces they have different characteristics and requirements.
When installing the box, it is important to adhere to the correct dimensions of the structure. This is due to the difficulty of installing the box.
For the execution of the drawing of the future product, it is necessary to measure the dimensions of the dwelling and take into account the wishes of the customer.
. For each room, original plans of structures are developed, which should be adhered to. The following indicators can serve as an example of settlement work.
Height calculation parameters
- The height from the bottom of the duct to the ceiling must be no less than 120 mm;
- The depth of the box is 100 mm.
- The lower part of the box can be variable, its length does not affect the installation of the structure.
After calculating and verifying the height, you can directly proceed with the installation of the gypsum board box structure.
How to make a gypsum board on the ceiling yourself
It is necessary to mount the box yourself very carefully. It is important to follow all the regulations and installation rules, as this will depend on the success of the entire installation.

- Attach the sheets to the frame and plaster.
Before starting the installation, you should prepare the required GKL sheets of the required size
. When an approximate plan is planned, you can start installing the plasterboard box.
Step-by-step actions:
- Make markup using a pencil. An important role is played by the width of sheets of plasterboard.
- Assemble the guide profiles. Holes in the wall are pierced around the perimeter. The design contour should first be applied to the floor, after which you transfer the drawing to the ceiling. The markup must be accurate.
- Fasten the screws to the contour of the metal profile. To do this, you need to drill holes, after hammering in them dowels.
- Move the structure to the ceiling surface. Drill holes and plug dowels in them.
- Carry out the measurement control.
After this you should start installing the suspension.
It is important to pay due attention to fastening the guides. They must be on the same level as the entire length of the structure, and they must not bend. For work you need to use only the best materials.
Installation of hangers must be carried out, strictly following the instructions.

Suspension stages
- Cut the suspensions with metal scissors. It is the size of the hangers that will determine the size of the drywall box.
- Secure the cut hangers on the guides using self-tapping screws.
- Attach the guide profile to the suspensions.
- Attach the wiring to the ceiling. Secure the wires.
- Attach metal guides. To do this, cut the cross guides. Attach them to the guide using self-tapping screws, perpendicularly.
- Cut out the required length and width from the sheets. Finished elements to attach to the bottom of the box.
