Preparation and installation of the partition from the GKL
To perform a neat installation of the gypsum board wall, it will be necessary to mark the floor, walls and ceiling wherenamely, a septum is assumed. The marks and lines for fastening are made relative to the window and must be parallel to the other two walls.
On the designated perimeter, a rigid profile is screwed with dowels, which will be the support for the future design. To understand how to make a wall from gypsum board, you need to consider the following rule: the rack profile should be turned by a stiffener in the direction from which the sheets will begin to attach. If the installation is from the right to the left, then the edges should be on the right.
If a door is provided in the partition, the reinforcement of the rack profile must be carried out. To do this, it is required to install a bar in it, fully matching the width and depth. A detailed video about installing gypsum board walls with your own hands will allow you to see this process firsthand and understand how the prepared structure should look.
Further, along the rails, the racks are distributed at a distance of about 40-60 cm from each other. It should be taken into account that joints of two sheets should only be carried out on one common profile. In this case, the strength of the structure will be the highest.
In the part that is located above the door, you need to insert additional profiles that will ensure the rigidity of fastening the sheets and then make sure that the resulting base is strong and can withstand the weight of the screwed drywall. The sheets are joined with a screwdriver and self-tapping screws. At the joints to create an ideal plane, the thin plastic mesh is pasted and the subsequent plastering is applied with plaster to level it. At this stage, the installation of the partition will be completed, it will be possible to begin finishing it.
Step-by-step instructions for wall finishing with gypsum plasterboard
Work on leveling or warming up is slightly easier than installing a partition. For mounting, you will need all the same guides and rack-mount profiles.
1. Before work, it is necessary to mark the level under the level, according to which the plasterboard wall will be mounted. The guide profile is attached to the main wall, thereby leaving enough space under the plasterboard for insulation.
2. The installation of the guide profiles is done by marking. A variety of photos of plasterboard walls, attached to the article, in the process of erection will help to understand how to properly mount.
3. At a distance of approximately 40 cm, rack-mount profiles are exposed. For their installation, you will need to pre-attach to the walls of the suspension, which will be based on vertical elements. Then, with the help of self-tapping screws, the racking profiles are connected to the rakes.
4. Installation of the first sheet of plasterboard is carried out. Under it, if necessary, it is required to arrange a heater. Mineral cotton wool of high quality is ideal for these purposes.
5. Next, plasterboard walls are plastered to the edge, where it will be joined to another wall. But you do not need to place the sheets. The wizard must take into account the width of the sheets that will form the corner.
6. After completion of the plating, the joints are examined. When the composition dries, the walls are made of plasterboard. Any decorative materials can be used.
Mounted and insulated wall will look pretty stylish, if it will be a niche or will be removed sockets. Naturally, in such a case, the holes are drunk beforehand. But you need to remember that this kind of work will take more time and will require additional skills.
