few words about

profile applies rack profile "PS" section reminding channel.Functions uprights.Profile Size 28 × 27 mm.Import marking rack profile CW has an index.

guide profile "PN" section of similar shape acts as a guiding framework for the profile of the "SS" and the bridges between rackmount profiles.Profile dimensions 60 × 27 mm.Marking the western CD counterpart.
Corner profile "PU" secures the outer corner joints drywall sheets.
Standard Profile 3.0 and length is 6.0 m.

for mounting the frame on the wall, be sure to apply markup, drilled holes, and set anchors.Step drill holes selected from 0,4 ... 0,6 m.
markup is applied depending on the size of gypsum boards used.
sheet edges must be laid in the middle of the frame profile.

begin installation of gypsum boards should be on the wall without openings.
sheets should be installed in a staggered manner, secured the perimeter and in the center.
Attach sheets should be self-tapping screws are screwed strictly at right angles, keeping the indentation on the sheet ends at 10 ... 15 mm.At the same time the head necessarily recessed 1 mm.

as heat or sound insulation is recommended to use glass wool, cork, Isover, foam, laying between the load-bearing frame.

Tip 2

• The horizontal line of the dowel-nails in increments of 0.5 ... 0.6 m mounted rail;
• The guide grooves are inserted ceiling profiles, clipped in size;
• between the axes of the profiles is recommended to keep away: for the water-resistant gypsum board 0.4 m to 0.6 m normal;
• Profiles additional hangers attached with fastening step 0.5 ... 0.6 m.

About installing the ceiling in more detail to find out and see the video.Online calculator calculates not only the number of sheets of drywall required.

Tip 3
For greater rigidity of the ceiling frame between the longitudinal profiles are installed transverse insertion using devices called "crabs."

To start headlining sheets of plasterboard with subsequent finishing should only after wiring and other works.

Conclusion:
- the main advantage of gypsum board is that in case of failure of any part of the product replacement or repair can be easily performed with his own hands.
