How to level a corner of a wall

The alignment of the corner is the final stage of finishing the wall surface before its final finishing. The process is quite complex and time-consuming, but you can do it yourself. The main difficulty of removing corners with your own hands is that you need to achieve a clear correspondence in 90C.But, on the other hand, the question is whether the angle in 90C is wide-angle. Do not always need a clear deduction. For example, if you have a carpet hanging in this place, a deviation of several degrees will be completely invisible. But when installing modern, stylized furniture, even half a degree of deviation strikes one's eye. But this does not mean you can leave it as it is and do not deal with this problem at all.

How and what to compare?

How to level the corner of a wall with plaster?- there are two options for answering this question: by means of plasterboard or wet plaster. Consider the options for solving this issue.

Gypsum plasterboard method

The main advantage of drywall is that its surface is almost perfectly flat. With this element, even the most complex corners can be aligned. In addition, the sheets are mounted on a prefabricated frame of aluminum profiles, so you can hide the curvature and unevenness of the walls in a fairly wide range, up to 10cm! On the question of how to level the inner corner of the wall, it is best for you to answer the master who has been working with gypsum cardboard for several years already.
Speaking of disadvantages, they consist in the following putty and alignment of joints. In addition, the corners will have to be displayed manually, but it is much easier to do this on flat planes.

• In order not to damage the internal corner that was removed during the plaster, the corners are previously glued with a special tape to fix the value obtained, and also to strengthen the structure itself;
• After the work has been carefully prepared and the angle is taken out, proceed directly to the plaster and the putty.

Apply a layer of the mixture carefully and evenly, avoiding unevenness. When processing, always use the level, and in case you find the deviations - immediately align them until the material is dry and has not lost elasticity.

You can use special profiles, if you still decided to resort to gipsokartonnomu method. Angle profile is fixed to the surface of the corner, then it is cleaned and processed( priming, plastering, puttying).Profiles allow not only to take out a flat angle, but also to strengthen it. After all gypsum board, the material is very brittle and, in the absence of fastening elements, can crack or chip off at the slightest mechanical contact.
