Construction work on the creation of plasterboard door: guide.Step 1: Create a partition frame

First you need to determine the location, which will be the door.Then the floor is placed a metal profile and secured with screws using a punch.This profile should be laid on one or both sides of the walls to the point where you have decided to do the doorway.

As you know, during the installation opening in the middle of the room stretches Profile placed on opposite sides of the opening, and the door to the wall needs a solid segment before opening.

Define the profile location on the ceiling.To do this you will need a laser level that will clear a line to accommodate the strap.In the absence of this instrument, take a plumb line and drop from the ceiling to the floor and mark the points and draw a line.

More importantly attach vertical profiles with screws and dowels at a distance of 40-50 cm from each other.They will act as a support for the structure.

Important!To ensure good sound insulation frame, it is necessary when installing the profile of the surfaces to glue on them a special tape to cover seals.

Step 2: Determine the door opening and installation of rack profiles

To form the opening you want to create a rack, cutting off a piece of the profile along the length equal to the width of the doorway, and a separate two short rack 10 cm These elements.We need to add the letter "P", but upside down to the horizontal profile of the door.

1. Cut the profile for the required height and place the rails on the floor and the ceiling.
2. top and bottom of the opening should be the same, so check the spirit level vertically.
3. To ensure the structural strength, use pieces of wood of various sizes and place them in a profile.Be sure to put them in those sections that will keep the door frame.
4. Secure rack profile with a block of wood screws (length 35 mm).
5. remaining rack profiles are installed across the width of the wall and the place where you want to be sure of their place, determined by the width of the sheet of drywall.Often, these are three rack on a sheet of drywall.
6. Check the rack and fasten them to the guides.
7. The transverse profiles above the door lay the pieces of wood, but so that they do not distort the structure.
8. When installing each new transverse profile Please flag its location on the rack and fix strictly on the target site.Misalignment should not be.
9. in the bar for rack-mount profiles necessary to perform a connector for a nail, which is to ensure that when nailing in the timber does not break it down.
10. Secure beam profile can be a standard hammer.
11. profiles that are transversely fixed with screws with a short tip.

Step 3: conducting electricity wiring

wiring inside the profile is usually carried out through the holes in the rails provided by the manufacturer.The openings are of sufficient size to allow for any cable.For

wires inside the profile requires special insulation, which is used in various construction works and helps protect the cable from damage and retain its durability.

Step 4: fastening drywall

Attach a sheet of drywall can be on one side only, and only in a vertical position.The screws need to be screwed on the edge of the sheet every 15 cm, retreating 1.5 cm from the edge.And it is also important to recede 6-7 cm from the corner for strength, otherwise the corner could crack.

hat Screw the screw is no more than 1 mm per sheet, and the screw should be no longer than 2.5 cm.

for sockets and switches in advance, determine the place and cut it on the sheet.Next, check how well done all the cables and sockets are put down and start to trim the second side.

must install the box to the wall outlet, to bring the wires and fix the drywall.

in construction for insulation can be placed mineral wool, which also acts as a heat insulator for racks.

joints in drywall need to expand before incorporation in order to put them in a solution, and then plaster.This will provide a better fixation of joints and ease of finishing in the future.

When the installation is complete, you can only attach the protective rims and eliminate seams.

Step 5: Finish a plasterboard partition

When putty seams of drywall constructions most attention should be paid to seams.For the reinforcing effect, you can use a special net (serpyanku), which will align the seams and corners.Its principle of operation: grid indentation in a fresh layer of putty, and then apply a second layer on top of it.
