How to make a partition of gypsum board?

Reshaping an apartment or any living quarters is a serious and expensive business. It so happened that most of our houses and apartments are mostly built the same. But everyone wants to make his house special, with a unique interior.

Today, designers offer a variety of options for redevelopment with gypsum cardboard. If, for example, it is necessary to divide one large room (premise) into several separate rooms, interior partitions from gypsum board will help with this task. This material not only saves money, but also helps to realize the most incredible fantasies in the design of the room.

How to make a partition of gypsum board? Before starting the work, experts advise making a drawing of the location of the future wall. For this, on the appropriate scale, it is necessary to draw on the sheet of paper the parameters of the room in which the work data is planned. Next, you need to mark the place where the installation of the partition will be made. So it will be easier to calculate the amount of material needed. Answering the question: "How to make a partition of gypsum board?", It should be mentioned that before you start working, it is important to determine what physical load the future construction will carry. In case of its importance, the frame must be further strengthened, which means that more consumables will be needed.

Manufacturing of partitions   Begin with the markup. To do this, we need a plumb line, a padded (routing) cord, a level. Marking is applied to the floor, and then, with the help of a plumb and cord, is transferred to the walls and ceiling. When the markup is ready, proceed to the installation.

The basis of the interior partition is a rigid frame of a metal profile. Several types of perforated profiles are needed to construct the structure.

Rack "PS" - the support base of the entire frame.

The "PN" guides are used to guide the racks. They also give the structure additional rigidity.

Corner profiles "PU" are necessary in those cases, if the partition is planned to be "open", that is without subsequent installation of doors. They are installed to prevent damage to the corner part of the structure. Mounted with gypsum plaster or putty and in the process of finishing completely hidden.

How to make a partition of plasterboard with a doorway

The principle of operation is almost the same, but there are some differences. We make additional calculations that determine where the doorway will be located . For such a markup, it is best to use a laser level. You will save time, and calculations will be as accurate as possible. Marking, as in the first case, we put on the floor, then on the ceiling.

The erection of the frame provides for the reinforcement of the structure in the area of the doors. After the installation of the guide profiles, we install the reinforced profiles of the doorway. To do this, you need to connect the guide and rack profiles so that a space is formed inside.

It is possible to give greater strength to such a structure with the help of a wooden beam. We choose such that its thickness was less than the width of the profile, and insert it into the perforated racks. This way of strengthening is more reliable.

From all of the above, it is easy to understand that the installation of the frame takes most of the work. But the installation of gypsum boards does not take much time. But before proceeding to the paneling of the septum, the holes are filled with foam polystyrene or other insulating material. Mount the sheet of drywall should be so that its center rested against the rack profile. If the gypsum board is standing in the doorway, do not rush it immediately. Do this after attaching the drywall, since by screwing the screws into the edge of the sheet, you can damage it.

In this article, we have examined only the basic ways of installing partitions. Therefore, if you are not sure that you will cope, trying to solve the problem yourself: "How to make a partition of gypsum board?", Ask for help from a good specialist.
