The arch of the drywall - a turn-based technology , photos

In this lesson, we will clearly analyze how to make an arch made of plasterboard with their hands.Arch made of plasterboard - it is a standard material, which is increasingly used in this design and finish repairs of the apartment in addition to the euro-repair in great demand and are increasingly ordered.But we will do it on their own without the help of hired workers so start.

archway Production will begin by determining the height of your doorway, so first measure the height of the ceiling it should be about 2 meters, and preferably more.The fact is that if the ceiling height less than 2 meters, while construction will significantly hang down and not look very nice.

type of curvature of plasterboard will be made in the form of a semicircle, of course can be done in the form of ellipse, or other intricate shapes, but it was left to the choice or selection.It should be noted that the shape of a semicircle - this is quite the classic version, which is used a lot of designers in the design of the arch.

Materials for arch

1. Plasterboard
2. guides and metal frame
3. for metal Shears
4. Dyupelya
5. Self
6. Electric or a simple jigsaw
7. line
8. Pencil
9. and other small tools

Step 1 - Cut the profile.

first determine what height we want to see our arch if your ceilings are 2.20, then think for eye what size do you need arch, and if you have ceilings 1.80 cm, mean particularly to figure you should not do not run away in a choice of sizes in height, because it is at too great a height of arch you just simply will bump on her head, I think about 30 cm for you will be the most prielemy result.

So take plasterboard sheet (as shown below) and draw on it with a pencil shape the future arch, as soon as you draw the shape, and it suits you begin cutting the contour of an electric jigsaw (or usual), but remember that to work withelectric jigsaw needed skill otherwise you can just simply "take Liška" and spoil the entire sheet.

When the first half is ready to take her and a pencil draw out its circuit on another sheet of drywall so we get 2 completely identical halves, which we will later be mounted on the metal profile.

Step 2 - deform arch

Now we need to bend the arch itself for her to take the desired shape and deformed for us.Distort it we will be under the influence of weight - this is done with the help of two bricks on the sides.

Please note that the frame is easily deformed and took us to the desired shape for the top layer must be cut and moistened with water, and then put our guides that we cut in the previous step.

Step 3 - Fasten metal profile to

wall Now after drywall constructions are almost ready to start mounting the metal profile, which will be attached directly to the wall, and thenit will fix plasterboard frame.

First, take a sheet metal profile and metal scissors note on it slots.This is done in order to then use screws to attach the drywall to them.

Step 4 - Fasten the drywall to the metal guide

Now let's get down to fixing plasterboard.With the help of screws fasten drywall to metal guide.If you could not distort our arch in step 2, then there is a simple piece of advice - make the arch of the individual pieces of drywall, because they will be easier to deform and seal the joints of the irregularities in the conventional filler.

Step 5

Once we tightened our frame with 2 sides need to do finishing work, which betray a great view of our arch made of plasterboard, and the sample of the finished design you can see on the slide below.We think you might want to check out how to make plasterboard with their hands.
