As soon as it comes to the construction of partitions inside the apartment, it is usually preferred by drywall, as the most suitable material for such work. However, not everyone knows that with advertised advantages, drywall has a considerable list of shortcomings, while it has a more worthy alternative – PGP plate from gypsum.
This material in our country is not as popular among the wide masses as drywall, although many have already been able to appreciate the convenience and other no less excellent qualities of gypsum plates. Due to the presence of a number of convenient characteristics of the grooves are the perfect material for the construction of partitions in the rooms. They are mounted even easier than sheets of drywall, since they provide special grooves designed to fix the plates among themselves. In practice, the assembly of structures from grooves of gypsum plates is somewhat reminiscent of a simple assembly of a children’s designer using glue.
The reliability of the partition made of such material will be quite high, and its surface will differ in resistance to mechanical damage. In addition, grooves have good insulating characteristics, retain heat and do not pass extraneous sounds, this is possible due to their thickness of 8 and 10 centimeters, while drywall is completely deprived of these qualities. Special moisture -resistant slabs are also sold, not afraid of moisture.
Using for the construction of partitions of grooves, this is also a great way to save on workers, since one person can install more than thirty square meters of partitions from this building material per day. In addition, such partitions after installation do not require additional decoration and are immediately ready for painting or pasting with wallpaper. Another undoubted advantage of the groove is its high fire safety, which drywall cannot boast again.
Depending on the preferences of buyers or the need, the shape of the groove and crest in the slabs can be both rectangular and trapezoidal. GIPS, which is the main material used for the manufacture of grooves, is completely environmentally friendly, which means that they can be used to build partitions in kindergartens and in apartments in which allergies live.
