Plasterboard partitions as a way to divide the room

device drywall partitions: select material

Any work begins with the choice of material, and since there are several types of plasterboard, it is necessary to know what is the best for septum.The first type - the usual list, which has no special advantages.Used it in rooms with humidity up to 70%, such as a bedroom, hallway, living room.The second type - a fireproof drywall.

He has composed a special reinforcing agents which allow it to endure high temperatures.Waterproof Sheets - this is the third type, which can be used in rooms with high humidity (bathroom, kitchen, sauna).And the last, the fourth type - a moisture-resistant material with a high protection from the fire, which has incorporated the quality of the previous two versions.

Important!Necessary to select the material, focusing on the characteristics of the premises, otherwise the partition structure may be ineffective.

determine the type of material that is suitable for your particular room, you need to select the thickness of the material.Drywall thickness ranges from 6.5 to 24 millimeters.The greatest distribution was received by the sheet thickness of 12.5, 9.5 and 6.5 millimeters, however plasterboard walls often made of material 6.5 mm thick.

Framework preparation

technology devices drywall partitions based on the accurate marking of installation sites profiles, which will be mounted sheets.In this connection, the first thing done septum position markings on the floor.If the room has a large area, it can also be on the floor to mark the location of all the vertical profiles and the door opening, if it is planned.Marking with a laser level or simply transferred to the ceiling.

The next step is to install the framework for the walls:

• profile is cut to the desired length;
• With screws in increments of 60 cm mounted profiles;
• becoming the first vertical profile, the height of which must be one centimeter less than the height from floor to ceiling;
• If you plan to make a doorway, then cross bar placed horizontal profile;
• second vertical profile is placed between the top of the door frame and the upper profile.

Note!If the partition is planned in the future to hang heavy objects, it is necessary to frame mount reinforcement elements in their locations.

Drywall Installation is performed in the following order:

1. sheet is cut to a height equal to the height from floor to ceiling minus one centimeter;
2. Next sheet is pressed against the established framework.Make sure that the edges of the sheet fall to the middle axis of the vertical profile;
3. Using drywall screws attached to the frame with a pitch of 25 centimeters;
4. between vertical profiles fit insulation material.Thereafter, in the same manner as the sheets are mounted on the reverse side walls.Check that one vertical profile cling only one sheet of drywall joint.

To work was done qualitatively, it is necessary to cut the material properly.To do this takes a knife and a ruler.The line drawn by applied on line, and a knife incision.Then, the sheet is folded and is placed vertically at the site of the incision.To complete the process of making an incision with a knife on the other hand.Cutting radii and angles is done with a hand saw.
