Slopes of plasterboard with their hands

Slopes are the inner walls of the window opening.In most cases, these surfaces are equipped with a small slope in the direction of the room.When replacing the glazing slopes are usually damaged.Restore damaged surfaces with the help of plaster is not convenient in all situations, so the owners are increasingly given a choice in favor of the slopes of plasterboard.This material allows you to avoid all the difficulties and inconveniences, typical for plastering.

Construction of slopes using the drywall can be performed on the adhesive and frame methods.Learn basic information about the work, check out the features of both methods, choose the most convenient option for you and start to finish slopes.

What you need to work?

First of all, you need to prepare appropriate for this work plasterboard sheets.The best option - waterproof material is 12.5 mm thick.

thickness	Size	Area	Weight
12,5 mm	1200h2500 mm	3 m	28,9 kg
12,5 mm	1200h2700 mm	3,24 m	31,2 kg
12,5 mm	1200h3000 mm	3,6 m	34,7 kg

If you selectedmethod of fastening the drywall to the frame, buy the appropriate UD and CD profiles.Fixing profiles are made using screws and dowels.In the case of using the method of pasting, buy special glue for plasterboard.At 1 m2 of plasterboard takes an average of about 5 kg of adhesive.The specific value is determined individually under the brand name used by the binder and the state of a finished surface.

Additionally, you will need to seal the tape.

standard set of tools.Prepare the following tools:

• grinders.Need for cutting metal profiles.In the absence of grinders can be dispensed with scissors for cutting metal;
• punch;
• knife for cutting drywall sheets;
• metal square;
• measuring roulette;
• building level.

Preparations

First remove all measurements.During the preparation of sheets of material to process minor slopes leave allowances.

ensure absolutely equal basis in the field of finishing is extremely difficult to mount, so it is best to take the material from the stock in the future to cut off too much, rather than to discover that part of the sheet is not enough to cover the entire surface of the slope.

Regardless of the chosen method of finishing slopes plasterboard, do preliminary training surface to be decorated.Be sure to remove the existing layer of plaster coating.

In the case of applying the method of laminating the surface must be carefully aligned.To do this, you can use ordinary plaster.

surface When using the frame method, it is possible to abandon the pre-alignment in most cases.Suffice it to get rid of the crumbling sections of plaster coating.

Treat base antifungal.

After all the preliminary activities, you can go directly to the mounting drywall sheets on the chosen method.

Frame method finishing slopes

When using this method of finishing the work should be started with the vertical arrangement of decorative elements.

first step

Along the edges of the window opening fix perpendicular to the floor rails.At this stage, using UD-profile.Fixing screws follow the steps of 40-50 cm.

If mounting rail is made to the frame of a plastic window, be sure to lay between the profile and the surface of the glass sealing tape.It will prevent freezing in cold weather profile.

second step

perpendicular to the UD-profiles, insert the CD-guides.

third step

Sew skeleton sheets of plasterboard.

fourth step

Proceed to finish top of the opening.Work is performed in a similar manner.

If the window has a small slope of the depth guide profile is best fastened on three sides - on the finished trim elements and the frame glass.

After completion of work between the leaf decoration and the outside of the bridge will be approximately centimeter gap.Fill it with special glue for plasterboard work.

finishing slopes perform at its discretion.Usually they shpaklyuyut any color.

adhesive method finishing slopes

adhesive method drywall finishing slopes more difficult to implement than the previously discussed method.For high quality of this work need to possess certain skills to ensure accurate slope surfaces.

therefore refer to this method is recommended only in situations when, for whatever reasons, there is no possibility of changing the existing dimensions of the window opening.

Furnish should begin with fixing the upper slope.In this case it will take over the "guide" function for correct mounting of the side members.

Cut from a single sheet of drywall details on the size of each side of the slope, and glue them to the pre-leveled and dried surface.

In most situations, the adhesive should be applied with a continuous layer.If the base surface is flat and you need to reduce the drying time of the glue, apply a bonding composition of broad stripes.sheeting align on the level.At the time of the glue has dried, set the prepared backup.The exact time of drying the mixture is indicated on the packaging.Be sure to clarify this point in a separate order.

Finishing work

repose of plasterboard should be given a more attractive and aesthetic appearance.

First align all bulge appeared at the points laying glue mixture, using a special float for plasterboard work.Groove leveled using putty.

also recommended putty to fill in the joints of the side panels of drywall to the upper part of the opening trim.

Cover leveled and dried surface primer.If necessary, apply a first coat with a double layer.

slopes can be painted if desired.Coloring compositions are best applied with a centrifugal brush or roller is special, able to give a roughened surface of a beautiful structure.

Optimum paint option for finishing drywall - a water-based formulations.The required number of layers of paint to achieve the desired shade is selected individually.

In this cross slope can be completed.Additionally, you need only to decorate the exterior elements of the window slopes and plaster space under the windowsill.

qualitatively to issue window slopes with the help of drywall, you will get a fine for its external characteristics of the decoration, as well as save time and budget.Finished finish perfectly fit into any decor and will serve for many years without losing its original quality.
