How to fix drywall to profile

In carrying out finishing the interior drywall is quite popular material that is inexpensively enable smooth the surface and construct any form of ceiling or wall.Drywall Installation involves mounting profile and its fixation on it.How to strengthen the profile for gypsum board will consider further.

drywall installation options

There are three methods of attaching the drywall to the wall.The first and most common - drywall attachment to the profile.Second - sticking gypsum board directly on the wall.And the third - the installation of drywall onto the wooden structure.

Option gluing gypsum board is the easiest, but it requires a perfectly aligned wall.The adhesive solution is applied onto the surface of the drywall and the wall.The sheet is applied to the wall and leveled using a spirit level.This adhesive has the property of quick drying, so work is carried out very quickly.

Installing drywall onto the wooden structure a little more difficult and requires the installation of horizontal and vertical guides from the tree.They are fixed to the wall with screws.There is the option to install only the vertical bars, but, in most cases, every 60 cm mounted horizontal jumper.

Features and species profile for drywall

to secure the drywall used galvanized profile.Its main function is to fix the drywall to the wall or ceiling surface.A profile allows you to build a structure of any shape and size.

In carrying out these tasks need to use various types of profiles and destination, as well as a large number of connecting elements.

advantages of using the profile when installing drywall:

• ability to create curved structures;
• under the plasterboard laid all communications, such as wiring, ventilation, water supply, etc .;
• there is a possibility of formation of thermal and acoustic insulation layer between the plasterboard and the wall.

offer to consider the basic types of profiles that are used during installation of drywall constructions.In accordance with the appointment of the profiles are divided into:

• specialized that sheathe certain plane;
• profiles for the construction of partition walls.

first option is used in the process of lining the walls or ceiling.To create this type of design, use of three types of profiles:

• UD-profile;
• CD-profile;
• arched profiles.

All profiles have a standard size, the main difference between the two is the amount of the metal and its length.

to decide what is needed for drywall profile, we propose to consider the main types of profiles more:

1. profile for fixing plasterboard UD used in the construction of flat surfaces.For example, if you need to create a framework of drywall, then this kind of profile will be installed around the perimeter.Dimensions of this profile:. Width - 2.5 cm, length - 300 cm Profile UD has a high level of reliability thanks to the thickness of the metal, which is used in its manufacture.It depends on the thickness of the metal durability built by design.This profile is of varying thickness: the thinner used in the construction of walls and thicker - with trim ceiling structures.
2. profile CD is called the carrier, as its use is associated with the formation of metal frames and the impact on the basic load of drywall constructions.Plasterboard fixed on this profile, and depends on it, how tough and strong will this design.CD profiles are of different thicknesses.Profiles with a minimum thickness of less reliable, so the installation process require a large number of fasteners.The width of the profile is 6 cm, thickness - 2.5 cm, and length -. 3 or 4 m
   
3. profile arch type is also a guide and bearing profile, which is characterized by a large number of cuts that weaken its structure.If necessary, such a profile is easily bent and take any form.

second group of profiles - partition.They are used for covering flat surfaces.Such profiles are large in size, and other functionalities.They are produced in different sizes.In accordance with the width of the profiles are:. 5 cm, 7.5 cm, 10 cm, 12.5 cm, 15 cm width profile depends on the technical characteristics of the partition on which it is mounted: soundproofing, thermal insulation, and communication operations.

1. guides UW profiles are used for the construction of a flat surface and the direction of the partition.Their installation is carried out across the partition area.
2. Rack CW profiles reinforce the frame and give it greater strength.Amplification occurs through 40 cm, so that drywall sheets attached on both sides.

Fasteners and clips to the frame profile for drywall

For fixing profiles use different fasteners, which are also connected to each other different types of profiles.

Consider the most popular fasteners used in the construction of drywall constructions:

1. U-shaped brackets - this mount is a perforated steel plate, which is able to bend "P" letter in the form.Its main function - the compound wall or ceiling with a steel core frame.The middle part of the bracket is fixed to sheathe section and the end sections are attached to the support profile using screws.
   
2. Bystropodvesy - is an alternative replacement of the U-shaped bracket.In the case where the length of the U-shaped bracket is too small bystropodves used.Its main components are: needles, which are located at the end of the ears and immediately the suspension, which is recorded in the CD-profile.A compound of the spokes and the suspension occurs with a special spring mechanism.The advantage of this mechanism is the ability to adjust the horizontal position of the profile.A disadvantage of the spring is progressive weakening of it, which results in sagging of the roof construction.Using bystropodvesov extends only to the ceiling structure, because, as a rule, the length of the U-shaped bracket is sufficient for fixing the profile to the wall surface.
3. Crab CD-connectors are used during installation of the jumpers that connect the main sections of the carrier type.The connection is crosswise.CD-bellied connector type is mounted on the profile surface and snaps at her, and then fastened with screws or special antennae.Jumper is the same: first, it should snap in crab connectors, which are located on the carrier profile, which is located next door and then lock the screws.To install this product, you must have eight screws.
4. CD-connectors act as extensions of the carrier profile.One part of the set at the end of one profile, while the second - on the worn profile.Then there is their fixation on both sides using four screws.
5. CD-type bi-level connectors are rarely used in work with profiles.They are used for mounting the frame structure, which is attached to the wooden beams.The frame, which is going through a data connector, double turns.First, form the first level of the CD-profile, which is fixed to the wall surface and construct from it a movable structure.Then the fixation of the second level, which is connected to the first by means of CD-connector.This design improves structural strength gypsum in a wooden house, and repays change size of the tree during its operation.

Ways Profile fixing plasterboard

materials necessary for the operation:

• pitches - 2 pcs .;
• nails;
• chalk;
• level;
• hammer;
• rope.

Attach plumb lines on the upper part of the wall, which is located near the ceiling.Instead, the rope is better to use the line, three parts which pull on the plumb line to get a perfectly flat surface.The highest point between the plumb line and the wall is the benchmark by which to fasten the profile.

With chalk and further stretched fishing line do a breakdown according to the pre-engineered designs.With rules and chalk, draw a perimeter.

before proceeding to the direct fastening profile is necessary to work on prior to its strengthening.This will require the presence of:

• perforator with drill nozzle;
• hammer;
• dowel-nails;
• pliers;
• scissors for metal.

1. Start with the bottom - so will be more convenient to mount the profile.Apply pre-lined with a profile on the surface, turn away from the lower edge 300 mm, and drill a hole for fixing it.
2. Make two more holes in the middle and lower parts.Check the correct fit of the profile and line drawings, then hammer the nails.
3. Measure the distance which is left to the height, and add to it two centimeters, set the guides overlap.Using scissors, make a metal segment of the side portions, bend profile and cut out the middle.Pliers will help in aligning the edges.
4. now make installation guide profiles for gypsum board, at the docking stations secure it with the dowel-nail.Performing these operations around the perimeter, you will receive a profile frame.
5. In accordance with the strength of the wall, attach the screws, metal construction, making the step from 20 to 40 cm

To set the vertical profile will need to have:

• screwdriver;.
• screws for metal;
• fishing line;
• rules;
• suspensions;
• perfodreli;
• dowels-nails;
• hammer;
• chalk;
• pencil;
• pliers.

Instructions for installing the vertical profile:

1. Measure out from the wall the width of the gypsum board and put in the place of the mark.It will correspond to the transverse center of the profile.
2. In this way, it should be noted all the vertical parts, which falls on the joints sheets.
3. Divide the width of the gypsum board into several pieces, the maximum width should be half a meter.Put a mark on the floor.
4. Now with the help of a plumb line, installed on the ceiling, move the mark on the surface of the ceiling.
5. The middle part of the wall should measure the distance between the ceiling and the floor.Transfer the measurements to the surface profile and turn down one centimeter.Cut the side of the profile, straighten out and cut the middle part.With a pair of pliers to align the cut and bend the edges - it will facilitate the installation of the vertical profile.
6. Place the workpiece on the surface of the wall, and then drag it from both sides.Divide the wall into three parts and make the layout.
7. Attach hangers using dowel-nails.They will help to consolidate the profile and put it on a level.
8. Make the setting of the second suspension and fix the vertical profiles of screws for metal.
9. on vertical guides need to attach the screws to the level where the hangers are located.
10. side of the suspension to bend and put vertical profiles in accordance with the fishing line.
11. Upon detection of errors at this stage is still possible to correct them.Therefore, check the evenness of the design carefully.

Installing horizontal profile for drywall

horizontal sections are crosspieces between the vertical parts of the structure of the profile.Their main function - strengthening the overall structure and increase its rigidity.These parts are not attached to the wall.

To perform these tasks requires:

• screwdriver;
• screws for metal;
• pliers;
• scissors on metal;
• crab connectors;
• pencil or marker.

The intersection of the vertical profile of the horizontal connectors used crab.

Otherwise, you need to perform the following steps:

• make measurements between two vertical profiles;
• cut blank and try on her;
• with a marker put labels so that the profile was placed in the hole between verticals;
• with scissors for metal make incisions on the sides of the profile;
• pliers straighten them out;
• install the profile and secure it with screws;
• check the evenness of the structure.

How to fix drywall to profile

work is carried out, will need to have:

• screwdriver;
• screws;
• pencil;
• rules;
• stationery knife;
• planer;
roulette
• .

on standard wall requires more than one sheet of plasterboard, so consider this option.

first thing you are installing whole sheets.To perform this work, you need at least two people.One of them presses the sheet to the profile frame, while the second fix it with screws.The first sheet is set from below, and the second - on.This design is more rigid.Then you need to fill the remaining space.

With roulette make two horizontal and vertical measurement.Transfer them to a plaster surface and make the layout.Set a rule on the line that will be made of drywall cut.Using stationery knife, cut the drywall to the middle.Set it so that one part of it hung, and broke it on the cut.Then, using the blade, cut the paper on the other side.With the help of the planer roughing make the cut processing.Do the same with the second party.Install carved elements and secure them with screws.When all the sheets installed, additionally secure them with screws, making a step in the 20-30 cm.
