Plasterboard structures are almost universally used in modern construction. With their help, create arches, walls, interior partitions, and t. p. The popularity of the material is explained by the fact that its installation is not particularly difficult. Any home master can cope with this task. The only condition is to competently choose the type of drywall, fasteners and profile.
Types of profile
For the formation of the frame, the following sizes are used:
W (larger). The profile is designed to create a single wall frame.
D (smaller). The material is used to form planes, where drywall is further fixed.
In addition, it is customary to distinguish two more types:
Support (c).
Guide (u).
The support profile from the Profil-Gipsokartona website is characterized by a ribbed surface, which provides it with maximum bending strength. As for the guide material, it is a regular P-shaped profile with a flat surface.
Features of installation
Consider the example of how to create a frame using the profiles CW and UW.
First of all, it is necessary to mark the location of the future wall. It is important that the structure is tied to each wall. Given the unevenness of different surfaces, as well as the lack of ideal angles, the marking may have minor differences.
Secondly, the profiles need to be fixed on the surface. For this, a special sealing tape is used. Initially, UW is mounted. For work, you can take shock screws. They are inserted at a distance of 50 centimeters from each other.
As for support profiles, they are exhibited on the sides of the guides. Do not forget that the racks should be mounted in areas where door or window openings are equipped.
Thirdly, it is necessary to strengthen the perimeter of the available openings. For this, ordinary wooden bars are used. They are mounted in the profile and fixed using self -tapping screws.
Fourthly, supporting cws are exhibited along the perimeter of the frame. The first profile is installed at a distance of fifty centimeters. All the rest – sixty centimeters about each other.
The work ends with the fact that the boundaries of the openings are determined using the guides UW. For this purpose, a piece is cut twenty centimeters longer than the width of the opening.
