Drywall as an optimal way of decorating pipes
Consider how to decorate the heating pipe. Probably the best way to hide pipes or give them a more attractive appearance is to close them with a plasterboard box. After all, the box can be trimmed, as required, so that it is in harmony with the design of the room.
Another advantage of this method is that all valves can be arranged free access, and if necessary, the drywall is dismantled without problems. You can, of course, use a plastic lining for these purposes, but it will add an office look to the room and will not create the necessary coziness for the living room.
Before closing the heating pipes, they must be inspected for chips, cracks, streaks. If you notice a defect, you must immediately remove it, in order to avoid trouble in the form of a divorce on the finished box. It is recommended to cover the pipe with a layer of waterproofing. To do this, a regular polypropylene stocking, which is superimposed on the pipe and wrapped with scotch tape, is suitable.
We make the decor on our own
We need materials and tools for manufacturing the box: galvanized profile, screws, dowels with impact screws, sickle and gypsum board, with which the heating pipes are masked, as well as the construction level, punch, metal scissors, construction knifeand a drill.
If the wall is a large number of pipes, not one, do not be discouraged, you can all sew them with a solid gipsokartonovoy wall.
In order to create a decor of heating pipes with a gypsum board, it is necessary to assemble a framework of metal profiles. First, to the floor perpendicular to the wall and along it at a distance that allows the pipes to be closed, the guides from profile UD-27 are nailed.
After this, the same guide should be nailed to the ceiling. To make the frame smooth, the upper and lower guides must be in the same plane. Then the profile ЦД-60 , pre-cut in length, is inserted into these guides vertically and is screwed to them by screws.
It turned out a fairly hard box, which will become even more reliable after plating it with plasterboard. Drywall sheets are cut to size and bolted to the frame by screws. The joints of plasterboard slabs and the places of their adhesion to the wall are glued with a sickle. Then the whole box shpatlyuetsya.
Depending on the required appearance of the box, it can be plastered, wallpapered or tiled. Now you know how to hide heating pipes. As you can see, this will not cause any special difficulties, and this can be done with our own resources and small means.
