• Guide profiles with a section of 28X27 mm, they will lie horizontally( MD or PN);
• Profiles for the carcass base, having a section of 60X20 mm and a length of 2 to 6 meters( SD or PP);
• Guide retaining profiles PS( HC or PN).
• Arched profile( PA);
• Profile for strengthening corners( PU);
• Two-level or single-level connector that connects the profiles of the framework of the frame;
• Direct suspension, to which the PP profile will be fixed;
• Anchorage suspension extends the straight suspension;
• Element that extends the PP profile;
• "Crab" to strengthen the intersection of profiles.

Without drill and screwdriver when installing the frame will not be able to do exactly

Also, there are additional tools that are a must-have for fastening the frame.

Before installing the frame need to necessarily make a layout of walls

So, let's look at the main stages of installation of drywall constructions:

1. First, you need to mark the ceiling and walls for the installation of frame profiles.
2. Now, you need to conduct the wires to the locations of point and central lighting, taking into account the passage of the metal frame elements under the drywall.
3. It's time to install a skeleton on the ceiling.
4. Mount the frame under gypsum boards on walls.
5. Assemble the gypsum board on walls and ceiling.
6. Complete the finishing work.

Gypsum plasterboard structures are one of the most popular ways of decorating a ceiling. Such designs conceal all irregularities on the ceiling and allow for excellent zoning of the space, with the help of plasterboard steps and spot lighting.

Let's look at the basic positions of the frame assembly for gypsum board:

1. First of all, with the help of water or laser level, it is necessary to determine the place where the ceiling is at the lowest possible level. It is important to set the level correctly, otherwise the new ceiling will be uneven, and you will have to redo all the work done.
2. Now you need to calculate the distance from the base ceiling to the new gypsum board structure, for this you need to know the height of the spotlights( if it is supposed to).
3. When the basic calculations are made, mark on the wall the line with a padded cord, measuring from the ceiling a distance equal to the height of the gypsum board frame.
4. Use a self-tapping screw to fix the wall guide profile at this level.
5. Make a marking for the ceiling profiles using a padded cord per squares with a perimeter of 60 cm.
6. At the points where you plan to install lighting or any other communications, attach the traverses.
7. Straight pendants bend the letter P and place on the ceiling at the intersection of the lines that you indicated earlier.
8. In the bent hangers, the profile guides are inserted and fixed at the level of the parietal guide profile.
9. Cut using the scissors for the profile metal into the required lengths for their transverse installation.
10. Then connect the profile guides with self-tapping screws with transverse profiles with an approximate pitch of 60 cm.
11. The intersection of the guides and transverse profiles is strengthened by crabs.

Wall structure from drywall profile

The installation of a frame for plasterboard on the wall is made in order that the room can be further insulated, different from the above described ceiling work.

The most difficult thing is to install a structure for plasterboard plating on walls where a window is present, since such works have a lot of subtleties and nuances.

All work with electricity is carried out prior to mounting the profile frame to the walls.

most important advantage of the method of the carcass - possible to further insulate the wall

Let us see how the frame set for gypsum board, wall with window:

• If you want to insulate the wall, then measure off the base slopes of 5 cm. When the sill is already installed, you should also take into account the thickness of the drywall.
• From the window frame, measure 5 cm( the distance to the edge guide rail).
• Attach the guide rail to the bottom of the window sill, to reduce the width of the step.
• Attach the profile rails to the ceiling and to the floor.
• Now set one guide profile to adjacent walls( these will be the outer guides).
• Make the markings in vertical lines in 60 cm increments on the wall from the ceiling to the floor guide using a plumb line, level and padding cord.
• On each line at a distance of 60 cm, install a straight suspension.
• Attach vertical profiles to the suspensions using self-tapping screws. They must rest against the guides on the ceiling and on the floor.
• Now connect the vertical profiles to the cross sections. The step between them must be no more than 60 cm.
• In the angle between the adjacent walls, install two vertical guides, on which fix the corner starting profile.

The wall frame is ready, it is necessary to put a heater and mount gipsokartonnye sheets. Of course, it is not necessary to install drywall on the frame, but in this case you can not insulate the walls and hide wires and communications on the ceiling.
