How to sheathe walls with drywall

You live in Sochi? Planning to make repairs? Or want to change the design of your apartment/house? Our experts will help you draw up and implement your own design project Sochi. You can always use our services by contacting us. However, in this article we can share our experience with you. We will tell you how to make measurements on your own and sheathe the walls with drywall. So, let’s start. The first thing to do is to measure all the walls, so that after it is easy to install the structure. Standard dimensions of the drywall sheet 1200*2500 mm. Based on these sizes, throw a scheme on paper on how to place the sheets economically. It is very important not to forget that if there are doorways in the room, then the drywall sheets should do in the middle. After all measurements, we proceed to the construction of the frame made of metal profiles. The main profiles on which the whole structure will be oriented are attached to the floor and ceiling using a dowel-grooves. To do this, drill the necessary holes in the ceiling and with the help of a plumb line we transfer the size to the floor. This is a very responsible moment. If you do the work incorrectly, then your entire wall will be uneven. Perhaps if you are a beginner, then for the first time it will be better to ask for help to perform this step. You can do all other actions yourself. The next step in our work is to establish the main profiles of the PP parallel to the guide, which we installed earlier. Profile size: 60*27 mm. Between the centers of profiles we measure a distance of 600 mm. Thus, each sheet of drywall is usually based on three vertical profiles. Where in the future the book shelf will hang or something still very heavy, you need to strengthen the structure in advance. A wooden beam is attached to the profile that goes across the design, which will significantly enhance the structure. Remember that you can always turn to our specialists who will help you calculate and implement your project at the House of Sochi. After fastening all the longitudinal and transverse profiles, we proceed with the sheet with drywall sheets. Whole sheets will not be difficult. Using self -tapping screws, they are attached to the frame. Do not confuse the back and front sides of drywall sheets. The rounded edges should be from the side of the room – these corners are specially provided to correctly close the joints between the sheets. It’s more fun to work with an assistant, since it is not very easy to hold heavy drywall sheets yourself. After the main sheets are laid, it is necessary to accurately measure and cut the sheets of the desired size. To do this, we use the usual construction knife. Please note that at the joints with the ceiling and floors, you need to leave a small gap of 10 mm. This gap is subsequently successfully embedded. Here, in principle, is all. When our wall is ready, we can proceed to the next stage. Sealing seams is a simple matter, but more on this in another article. We remind you that on all issues of design and repair you may need a professional interior designer for Sochi.
