Framework for gypsum cardboard on the wall: materials, installation

When planning repairs, each owner tries to do everything to make the walls in his house become not only beautiful, but even. Not so long ago, it was very difficult and long to achieve this, but today professional and home builders can solve this problem using plasterboard. In addition, using gipsokartonnye plates can quickly solve the problem of redevelopment - to make partitions, arches, alcoves. But that the material can be fixed on any surface or create a new structure, it is necessary to make a skeleton. From what materials it can be made, how to mount the frame for plasterboard on the walls, than to fasten it - about this further.

Methods of fixing the drywall cloths

The frame is the frame on which the plasterboard will be fastened. Since gypsum boards have a weight, and not a small one, the lath must be strong. There are two types of material, of which a frame for plasterboard can be made on a wall. This is a bar and a metal profile. In addition, the canvas can be mounted directly on the wall. Which way to choose? Everything depends on the purpose of the cladding room: if there is high humidity in the room (kitchen, bathroom, veranda), then the base is best made of metal - for example, aluminum structural profile perfectly resists moisture and will not bend over time.

Thanks to the use of a metal base, it is possible to make a construction not close to the wall, but to retreat to the required distance. So sometimes you have to act to hide communications, create partitions, lay a heater. The minus of such a design is excellent soundproofing: if you strike on its surface, the sound will be like from a blow on the drum.

The wooden frame is assembled in the same way as the metal frame - it has racks and jumpers, only the structures are fastened directly to the wall. But how to make a frame for drywall on the wall, if it has large differences? In this case, the installation of wooden elements will be quite difficult, since it will be necessary to find the most protruding points inside the room and use them as a reference point when assembling all the parts. Another way out is to hang the ledges as far as you can, and then start mounting the base.

You can also install the canvas by attaching it directly to the wall, using glue. But this method can be used only when the walls are perfectly level, which is very rare, otherwise there will be a difference. To install gypsum boards directly on the wall, the glue is applied to the wrong side with strips, set in place, checked for proper placement with the help of a level, and fixed with props and wedges. The disadvantage of this technology is the impossibility in the future to attach to the wall cabinets, paintings.

Advantages of using a frame structure

The manufacture of the substrate for the installation of plasterboard sheets has a number of advantages. This is an opportunity:

1. Hide all irregularities and other wall defects.
2. To create an original structure - to make protrusions, niches, to embody other ideas. And you can make a design of any size.
3. Hide the various communications.

Depending on the purpose, the material for the substrate is also selected. So, if you just need to align the walls and at the same time take up as little space as possible, you can make a base of timber and laths. If it is planned to hide, for example, pipes or other communications, it is possible to use an aluminum structural profile for making the base, which will make it possible to create a frame at the desired distance from the wall.

Types of profiles

Today, manufacturers produce different types of metal profiles. To choose the right material, you need to know its purpose.

1. Mon. This is the name of the guide element. Designed for manufacturing the contour of the crate. The part is made in the form of the letter P. The width of the shelf is 5-10 cm, and the legs - 4 cm. The guide is fixed not only to the walls, but also to the ceiling, the floor.
2. PS. This is a rack designed to be fixed only on the walls. From the guide there is a special two longitudinal grooves necessary to increase the rigidity of the part. The shelf width is 5-10 cm, and the legs are 5 cm.
3. PP. This marks the ceiling profile. The product has three longitudinal grooves. The dimensions are standard 2.7 x 6.0 cm.
4. PPP. Marking means that the product is a ceiling rail intended for the manufacture of contours of suspended structures. The dimensions are 2.8x2.7 cm.
5. PA is an arched element. It is necessary for the manufacture of arched doorways.
6. PU. This is a corner element, with the help of which not only the corners of the structure in the room are created, but also built-in closets, partitions. To do this, manufacturers produce internal and external corner products. All corner elements are perforated and have an angle of 85 °.
7. Crab. This is an element in the form of a cross to connect at one point four profiles.

Why should you know the information above? Then, that if the profiles are chosen incorrectly, the design is unlikely to be strong and durable, and the fastening of the frame to the wall is reliable.

The right tools and materials

To assemble a metal structure, it is necessary to prepare not only the material, but also a set of tools.

Material is:

1. Profile products of different types (ceiling, rack, guide).
2. Connectors to join the segments.
3. Suspension.
4. Dowels, self-tapping screws.
5. Connectors "crab". This is the element by which the profiles are fastened in the places where they intersect.
6. If the frame is made of wood, you need a wooden bar, nails, dowels, screws.

The necessary tools for the wooden base - saws, electric jigsaw, hammer.

If the frame is made of profile, you will need to work:

• Levels.
• Corner, roulette.
• Screwdriver.
• Drill shock or perforator.
• Shears for metal.

Hardware

To attach the hangers and guides, it is necessary to select the hardware, taking into account the material from which the surface is made.

For example:

1. For concrete walls, you need to use 6x60 or 6x40 dowels (depends on the quality of the surface).
2. If the crate is wooden, you need screws 6x80, 6x70 mm. The head of the screws should be the most flat, then you need less shpaklevki to level the surface.
3. Self-tapping screws are needed to connect all the metal parts of the base. For installation of gypsum cardboard to the metal profile, experts recommend using self-tapping screws made of galvanized steel 3.5x25 mm with frequent threads. It is best to buy white products, since Black breaks more often.
4. Expandable dowels reliably attach to the gypsum cardboard ceiling guides.

Sequence of work

To the end result pleased with a beautiful view of the walls, you need to know some subtleties of how to make a frame for a wall of plasterboard. Work does not begin with the creation of a foundation, but with a careful study of the premises. It is necessary to determine how vertical the walls are.

Begin the manufacture of the design from the side that is more inclined inwards. If this is bottom, then it's necessary to start from the floor: fix the rail and from it with the help of a laser level (and if you start from the ceiling, then using a conventional plumb bob), mark the location of the top element and immediately fix it.

Thus, the basic elements have already been installed, now it's time to install the racks. First of all, mount the extreme parts, connecting them with the guides. After that, every 0,6 m you need to draw vertical lines. The figure of 0.6 m depends on the size of the sheet, since the most common - 1.2 m, then its length must be divided in half, so that you can fix the sheet and in the middle. It is done this way: mark the ceiling guide and from it, using a plumb bob, drop the dots on the element located on the floor. Now it remains to connect the dots - and the markup is ready.

Along the received lines it is necessary to mount direct suspensions, to which then to attach the racks. In order for all racks to be positioned vertically, it is necessary to stretch the thread between the extreme elements in several rows (3-5), place each guide along it and then fix it to the suspensions.

To create a reliable and durable construction, the frame for plasterboard on the wall must be "checkered". This design is obtained when the transverse and longitudinal parts are connected with crabs.

Installation of a wooden base

Use only dry timber for work. In no case can you build a frame for gypsum board on a wall made of freshly sawn timber: in time it will dry up, it will necessarily "lead", and the created wall of sheets will collapse.

Before you start working, you need to treat all the wooden elements of the future design with a moisture protection agent. Particular attention is paid to the places where the saw was made.

Further, the marking is done and the bars are fastened along the paved lines. In order to fix the laths of the battens it was correct, it is necessary to stretch the fishing line between the rails at an interval of 0.4-0.6 m.

Reiki for the manufacture of the battens should be about 4 cm wide. In places where gypsum board joints will be joints, it is necessary to use 8 cm wide slats. If there is no material of this width, it is possible to install the frame on the walls using double rails. For fixing the structure to wooden walls using self-tapping screws, to brick or concrete - dowels.

Metal base

Frame from the profile is much stronger than wood. Advantages include such indicators as:

1. Fire safety.
2. Ease of installation.
3. Stability against decay, deformation.
4. Less weight.

With this in mind, most consumers prefer a metal base. What do you need to install a metal frame for gypsum board on the wall?

Gypsum boardboarding

A few practical tips from experts will help to properly install gipsokartonnye sheets:

1. Before fixing the plasterboard to the frame, you need to make sure that all communications are in good order.
2. If the installation of a heater is planned, then first it is laid between the posts.
3. Gypsum plasterboard cloths are fixed with screws so that their heads are slightly, by 1 mm, submerged in depth.
4. If the work is carried out in a room with high humidity, it is necessary to use only moisture resistant gypsum boards.
5. Sheets can not be joined at any time - there should be a gap of about 2 mm between them.
6. The beginning of fastening the canvas is the middle of the wall.
7. Where there are no chamfers on the sheets, you can make them yourself. To do this, it is sufficient to cut the edge at an angle.

Features of docking gipsokartonnyh sheets

Horizontally, each subsequent web is stacked so as to avoid the appearance of a long longitudinal line. Specialists of this kind of laying of cloths are called "with a shift" or "at a time". The minimum displacement of the web with respect to the lower one is 40 cm, the maximum is the middle of the sheet. If you do not make offset sheets, at the seams necessarily over time will appear cracks.

If the wall is to be faced with two layers of plasterboard, then it is necessary to shift not only horizontal but also vertical seams: that sheet, which is installed from above, should be placed so that the joint of the previous one is in its middle.

Sheet fastening

The works are carried out as follows:

1. The sheet must be pressed against the frame and secured.
2. Utaplivaya samorez in the canvas, you do not overdo it so as not to break it.
3. The screw must enter the sheet strictly perpendicular. This will protect the cardboard layers from damage, since the rigidity of the structure depends on their integrity and, hence, on the strength.
