Since the metal profiles in this case does not apply, the vertical position of the sheet of drywall is regulated by means of these screws.The heads of screws should be in the same plane.

Such adjustments are made with their own hands with the help of a plumb line or a laser beam.Instead of screws beacons can use strips of drywall.

Strips of plasterboard widths of up to 10 cm have to be glued to the wall about the same as it is done when mounting the frame of the profiles.
