According to preliminary lined on the walls or ceiling lines are fixed frame, it is enough to drill in the ceiling and on the floor of the hole of the required diameter. The profiles themselves these holes has already been done.

The vertical profiles (PS) or fasten the brackets with screws in the guide profiles (PN), which are already fixed in the ceiling and on the floor. PS is attached to the wall with a step 0.5-1 m. The better the recorded profiles, the more reliable the sheet is fixed.

Often under the sheet stack silencers and special insulation: mineral wool or foam. They do an excellent job with their tasks, adding decorated apartment with his hands even more comfort and warmth.

In the manufacture of niche you need to remember that in most cases have to "steal" the size of the room. However, this technique is effective enough that it is worth it. For mounting niches require alignment of the frame of the profiles.

Sometimes craftsmen create a built-in furniture made of plasterboard: This material is much more effective and easier to use than chipboard or MDF, and the furniture of it in an environmentally clean and unusual.
