Project

At the heart of the creation of any design project lies. It is a detailed drawing of placement to create the box profiles.

It should be noted that each case is an individual.

• Box of drywall for bathroom is best to equip a small technical hatch. Therefore, in places it is necessary to make landfall strengthening of the profiles, if necessary, set the loop. (Cm. also the article How to plaster plasterboard with their hands.)
• It is recommended to make the holes through which the air will flow in. This is in order to avoid condensation on the pipes.
• Schedule frame assembly can be virtually any type of profiles, but the finished construction should be sufficiently strong and reliable.
• On this project should be noted all types of connections.

Tip!
All profiles mounting scheme must perform to scale, in order to correctly calculate the distance between the parts.

Material

Since the box for the bathroom plasterboard will be continuously exposed to moisture and temperature changes, the choice of materials must be approached very carefully.
