Why align the wall?

walls are aligned for many reasons, of course initially - it is an aesthetic component.The appearance of your apartment entirely depends on the geometry of your walls and smoother than they have, the more expensive and more refined look your apartment.Of particular value attached lined walls with putty, but not sheathed plasterboard, becauseLast visually reduces the space of the apartment, and also creates a disadvantage associated with its performance characteristics (on drywall difficult to hang pictures, mirrors, etc.).

In addition, owners of apartments with the broken geometry of the walls (most often this happens in the so-called "Khrushchev") suffer from wavy plinths (as ceiling and floor) that echo the walls loop and disrupt the visual geometry in your apartment.If you are faced with a similar situation, then the alignment of the walls - it's a great solution for you.
