As a material for the frame, you can use a wooden bar section 30 × 30mm.
For plating a niche, use a plaster board with a thickness of 6.5. .. 12.5 mm.
The frame is assembled using self-tapping screws, it is installed and fastened with special joints and dowels.
To give the niche a curved contour, use arched profiles and thin sheets of gypsum board.
From the tool you can not do without a drill with the adjustment of the speed of revolutions, joker, knife construction and hacksaw for metal, scissors for metal, plane. To mark, measuring the installing design is necessary with the use of a tape measure, plumb line, string and level.

Assembly of a niche

• Any work begins with a marking of a place of installation of a niche.
• On the wall, put the installation location of the future niche.
• Cut vertical rails from the profile by fixing them to the wall using dowels.
• From the guide profile, cut out the horizontal supports and secure them to the rack with the self-tapping screws.
• To increase the rigidity of the structure, install additional jumpers.

You have a skeleton of the future niche.

• Cut the workpiece out of the gypsum plasterboard for the cladding. Billets are fastened to the frame using self-tapping screws with a step of at least 25. .. 30 cm. Do not forget to heat the screws of screws to a depth of 0.5 mm.
• Install accessories for switches, sockets and luminaires.

• Fasten the racks to the walls, floor, ceiling with dowels.
• You should get a U-shaped design.
• We cut out the upper part of the arch from the plasterboard and fix it to the resulting structure along the perimeter with self-tapping screws in steps of 20. .. 40 mm.
• Now we need to fix the pre-cut piece of gypsum board to the lower shelves of the U-shaped structure. To ensure the radius, the profile is cut in several places with metal scissors.
• If you need an arch of a certain width, do the works listed above with the second part of the arch.
• In order to sew up the radius of the arch, it is necessary to bend the cut out of the gypsum board. Drywall is well bent, if its width is cut on one side in increments of 10. .. 20 cm. The step size depends on the radius of the arch. The smaller the radius, the more often the incision step.
• Fastened curved plasterboard with self-tapping screws.
• All unevennesses and grooves necessarily shpaklyuyutsya and lit up. The finishing material is superimposed on top.

A few words about the use of fabric in the interior of the walls of plasterboard

• After complete drying, absolutely flat surface is primed and checked for the absence of grains of sand and depressions.
• Applying a primer layer removes the remains of sand grains of sand and dust.

If you use a thin fabric, then you need to glue the surface with sheets of paper overlapping.

• The fabric is pasted onto a dried and stripped layer of paper.
• Especially it is necessary to carry out if before any fabrics on a surface were not pasted.
• The label of the fabric itself is made with a special mastic, flour paste or casein glue.

Remember! The tissues become deformed when wet. Choose those fabrics that are subject to less deformation.

• As a rule, before gluing the cloth soaked and pasted after completely drying.
• Pasting leads from corners, spreading walls with paste or mastic.
• The edge of the bonded fabric before drying is fixed with wooden strips, hammering the nails not to the end in increments of 50 cm.

It is preferable to fasten the fabric covering with wooden rails.

• The lower rail is attached to the floor, the upper one is fixed at the ceiling. The slats are preliminarily installed in the plaster layer.
