Plasterboard: the price per sheet, size and variety of the material

Drywall - one of the most popular building materials. The main advantage of the material is that it allows you to expand the range of use design decisions and create designs in all shapes, decorate the walls and ceilings in any areas. This article describes the options that allow you to pick up the drywall correctly: the price per sheet, size, thickness, and other appointment.

What made drywall?

The main material, which is part of the sandwich plasterboard - gypsum. It is a natural salt that is formed naturally from seawater.

In order to obtain a sheet of plasterboard (GCR) must pass the extracted raw material preliminary processing, which includes two processes:

• burning. The temperature at which this process takes place, is approximately 180-190 ° C;
• grinding.

To produce a desired shape GCR solution is mixed with water are sometimes added to fiberglass. It is a component that significantly increases the deformation resistance of the FCL, as well as a positive effect on the quality of the refractory. On both sides of a sheet of gypsum board is fixed, which is different environmental friendliness. Such a board is made of cellulose and impregnated at the production stage with special flame retardant additives.

The main varieties of gypsum boards

Depending on the application and the technical features of all GCR are divided into these types:

• standard;
• moisture-proof;
• flame retardant;
• water-resistant and fireproof;
• acoustic.

Standard and moisture resistant gypsum board 12mm. Price per sheet and specifications

Standard GCR is used when you need to perform domestic work on finishing. Using standard plasterboard walls are aligned and are settling partitions, ceilings and multilevel t. D. To calculate the materials to finishing work is necessary to know the length and height of the drywall sheets. The dimensions of the sheet are typically 2500h1200 mm. Cardboard sheets differs from the standard gray and blue markings indicated. Standard GCR used in rooms with normal humidity.

Moisture resistant gypsum sheets are used indoors, the humidity level of which exceeds the allowable parameters. But its use is only advisable if the room is provided exhaust ventilation system. In turn, the front surface of the sheet must be provided with a waterproofing material (paint, primer, coating PVC).

Dimensions moisture resistant gypsum board are the same as that of the standard plasterboard. Apply such sheets for the construction of slopes. Gypsum plasterboard in combination with waterproofing materials used for covering the working surfaces in environments with high humidity level. To those include bathroom.

Helpful information! Moisture resistant gypsum board has high strength; it can be used for decoration of public premises.

The material includes various hydrophobic additives, by which the sheet is capable of absorbing the minimum amount of water (no more than 10%). In this case, the sheet has a green color and blue designated marking. The price and size of the moisture resistant plasterboard sheet may be different. However, standard-sized products (2500h1200h12 mm) are in the range from 295 to 395 p per sheet.

Fire-resistant, water-resistant and acoustic plasterboard

Building products fire-resistant type used in the case where you must finish surface, which is located in close proximity to the fire source (e.g., internal surface fireplace). This is the embodiment, which is mixed into the glass fibers, imparting fire resistance.

Refractory sheets are used indoors, the humidity level of which can be low or normal. Cardboard in this case can be either pink or red. Plasterboard sheets are refractory red marking.

Water resistant and fire-resistant gypsum board (GKLVO) has a high fire-resistance coefficient, and also has reduced water absorption. The set of properties allows to use such gypsum boards in the baths and steam rooms. However, it can also be used for conventional decorating indoors. Cardboard sheet differs GKLVO green and red marking.

Acoustic GCR differ from other species that has a high insulation coefficient. This property allows the use of the material for the walls and ceiling in the concert halls, dance studios, as well as the premises where a sound recording is made. The main difference from the standard acoustic plasterboard is that its surface has holes with an indicator section approximately 1 cm. The reverse side of the acoustic GCR has a coating that copes with the absorption of sound waves.

Dimensions sheets of drywall: length, height and thickness

The standard length of the GCR is 2.5 m, and the width - 1.2 m is also a standard length dimensions are as follows:. 3 and 3.5 m addition to the standard size. in markets and shops construction can be found gypsum boards, the length of which can be 4 m. Sometimes there sheets 1.2m (Small size). The size and price of plasterboard interrelated. For example, sheets whose thickness is 9.5 mm, are cheaper dvenadtsatimillimetrovyh products.

The standard width of gypsum board is 1200 mm (1.2 m), but commercially available products are found, in which this indicator can be 2 times lower (625 mm). Such sheets will be cheaper.

As for the thickness of the FCL, the following are to the standard parameters:

• 12.5 mm;
• 9.5 mm.

Deviation from standard thickness is also a common practice. If necessary, you can acquire GCR 6.6 mm thick. In this case, their weight will be much lower, as the index value for a sheet of drywall. There are also other sheet thickness - from 8 to 24 mm, which can significantly increase their operational area.

Differences between the wall and ceiling drywall

Dimensions plasterboard wall in the form of sheets may be different, however, they are all considered standard. The length of the wall GCR varies from 2000 to 4000 mm. The minimum width of 625 mm, and the maximum - 1200 mm. The standard thickness of plasterboard which is used for cladding, is 12.5 mm.

Note!Wall finishing sheets most commonly used, the dimensions of which are 2500h1200h12,5 mm.

If necessary sheathing wall in an apartment or a house with a high ceiling, then it is recommended to use a sheet with a maximum length (4 m). Thus, we can conclude that the GCR dimensions are selected depending on the particular situation.

Gypsum board, which is used for mounting on the ceiling itself must be easier to simplify the installation process. Used for covering ceilings GCR thickness of 8 mm or 9.5. Minimum thickness allows for weight reduction ceiling, which, in turn, reduces the financial costs of the acquisition of profiles for mounting drywall.

Price ceiling of plasterboard are significantly lower than in the case of installation of wall material. If necessary, you can use the services of professionals who take an average of about 250 rubles. 1 for installing drywall ceiling square meter. Price per m2 installation of plasterboard wall and ceiling also depends on the complexity of the work.

Overview of the cost of installation of the GCR:

Installation of drywall on the wall. Price per m²	Installing ceiling GCR m²	Installation of drywall. Price per m2
p 260-380	p 250-270	p 480-660

Price per m2 mount plasterboard walls depends on the number of layers of plasterboard (1 or 2), as in other cases. Thus, we can conclude that the price per square meter. m. drywall differ depending on the installation place, the complexity of work (including the creation of curved elements), number of material layers and gypsum t. d.

In order to answer the common question: how heavy drywall sheets, you must familiarize yourself with the data which are presented below. The table below indicates the dependence of the weight of the FCL on their size.

weight dependence on the size of the FCL:

Dimensions GKL mm	The thickness of the GCR, mm	Weight, kg	The average cost, rubles.

Profiles for plasterboard: the size and price

Today you can find different profiles for gypsum board. The size and cost of these products also vary. The thickness of the metal profiles from the German manufacturer Knauf ranges from 0.5 to 0.8 mm. A choice of different thickness can collect skeletons, which are capable of withstanding the necessary weight.

Helpful information!Profiles for plasterboard in the production stage equipped with corrosion protection by galvanizing. This procedure allows to increase their strength properties and extend the service life as a whole.

Profiles may have a different structure that allows for building a model of any configurations. Depending on the design features, all of the profiles are divided into several varieties.

The length of the profiles of different types:

product name	Length m
rack mountable	2–6
guide	2,5–6
overhead	2,75–4,5
Arched
Angular	until 6

Rack sections: description, use and prices

The international nomenclature of building materials, such products are designated by Latin letters CW. These profiles are most often used for the installation of metal obreshotok. Metal lath is needed for fixing the FCL on the false walls or ceilings.

Use Algorithm rack profiles as follows:

1. The first rack strips are inserted into the guides, which are fixed on the perimeter of the false wall (or ceiling).
2. Further, the profiles are aligned in a desired plane.

The structure made of profiles - is the basis for further GCR mounting. Rods, which are to a display mounted type, made of 60 mm, and their height is 27 mm. The length of rack strips can be different (from 2 to 6 meters).

If the length of the strap does not correspond to the intended target, then there is the possibility of combining two or more planks together into one profile. Joining of the individual slats to each other is made by means of special latching elements. If desired, the strips can be connected so that they are positioned relative to each other perpendicularly.

Such profiles can have different markings depending on the manufacturer's. Marking rack bars can be as follows:

• CD (Knauf);
• PP (gypsum plasterboard).

Price Profile for plasterboard bulkhead ranges from 150 to 400 rubles per pack. The price range is due to different brands of products, as well as dimensions. Packaging often contain a number of standard parts (12 pcs.).

The average cost of rack profiles:

Profile Size, mm	price, rub.
50h50h3000	190
75h50h3000	240
100h50h3000	290
50h50h4000	279
70h50h4000	325

The guide profiles

Profile of such type is international designation UW. These products are manufactured in the form of "U" letter. From the name, we can conclude that these products are used as guide elements. When assembling of the carcass structure to them or fixed rack rails, and then made the installation of drywall. Prices for guide profiles vary depending on the length of the article.

The width of the guide bar is of 28 mm, and height - 27 mm. Fixation of the guide rails to the working surface is produced using dowels. The length of the guide part can be different (from 2.5 to 6 m).

The average cost of rail profiles:

Profile Size, mm	price, rub.
28h27	105
50x40	175
65h40	210
100h40	275

Ceiling and arched profiles

International designation ceiling profile -CD.Potolochnye plates are used for rapid assembly of frame structures, which are fixed to the ceiling and further sheathed GCR.

The thickness of the ceiling bars ranges from 0.45 to 0.55 mm. The standard ceiling profile length is 3 m. The most common ceiling strips with dimensions 60h27 mm.

The average cost of a ceiling profile:

Profile Size, mm	profile length, mm	price, rub.
60h27	3000	149
4000	215

Variety arched slats differs from others in that they are characterized by curved shape. Arched plates are used for the organization of the arched doorways and other structures that have complex shapes.

These products are marked with Latin letters CD and UD. When mounting these parts there is a possibility of bending of the required radius. This possibility is realized due to the fact that the body of this type of profile is provided at the manufacturing stage holes and incisions.

In the market of building materials in specialized stores often you can find ready-made (curved) profiles. The bending radius of such a profile can vary from 0.5 to a few meters, and length of from 2 to 6 m. Profiles of this type have a fairly large range of prices. Purchase a profile for drywall arch type can be both over 30, and for 200 rubles. Here a very important role played by design feature details.

Helpful information!It often happens that the sale does not show the profile of the required radius and even direct arch models with no notches. In this case, skilled craftsmen are advised to perform a notch on a standard profile and make desired bend radius alone.

corner profiles

Products of this type are divided into two types:

• protection;
• plastering.

The first type of angular splines used to provide protection of external corners plasterboard structures (e.g., doorways). Fixing the corner straps is made by plaster that permeates the hole profile and fix it securely in position. The second type is also called beacons, and is used for plastering walls.

Cost popular models of angular profiles:

The size and the name of the product, mm	price, rub.
Profile corner Aluminum perforated, 20x20, 3000	27
Profile corner galvanized mesh 35x35, 3000	39
Profile corner white PVC, 30x30, 3000	63
Protective corner profile 31 × 31,3000	129
Corner metallized paper-based for internal corners 3050	260

As a rule, in the assembly of structures made of plasterboard experienced craftsmen are trying to use the materials of one firm. For example, for fastening GKL Knauf brand acquire profiles Knauf plasterboard, species and that there is a variety of sizes. It makes no sense to use expensive drywall, but to save the profile, because it is the quality and reliability of parts for the frame depends on the durability of the whole structure. And in order not to exceed the limit of the budget allocated for repairs, you need to carefully calculate the amount of materials to choose the optimal size of the sheets to minimize the amount of debris.
