At the moment, drywall constructions are quite popular. This is a completely understandable phenomenon. Such popularity of this construction tool is achieved by a very low cost and ease of installation of such material. After all, such properties make it possible to use this building material almost everywhere.
Drywall niches are even more popular. For the arrangement of such niches, special knowledge and equipment are not required. After all, such actions can be carried out independently by any home master.
To implement this idea, you will need to use special construction tools in the form of:
– metal profile;
– drywall sheets;
– self-tapping screws;
– electric drill;
– roulettes;
– pencils;
– plumb;
– building level;
– grinders or scissors for metal;
– glue;
– reinforcing tape;
– putties;
– spatula.
Instruction
one. At the first stage, the installation site of the wall with a niche is marked. To do this, you need to carry out all possible sizes. The niche size includes the volume of drywall sheets and the width of the metal frame. This is very necessary when creating niches for household appliances, for example, a stereo music system. Therefore, the dimensions of the niche should be slightly larger than the dimensions of the equipment itself, which makes it possible for air to penetrate to electrical appliances. Communication can also be brought here.
2. At the second stage, building materials are calculated and purchased with a small margin.
3. At the third stage, the shape and dimensions of the niche are determined, a drawing is made on a certain scale. To do this, the projection of the drawing is transferred to the wall, having previously established the place of attachment of the frame using special construction tools in the form of a plumb line, pencil and tape measure. It is also worth thinking about lighting, as well as antenna and electrical cables.
four. At the fourth stage, measurements are taken from the main wall of a distance equal to the depth of the niche. On the floor it will be necessary to draw a line for mounting drywall sheets. It will be necessary to deviate from this markup up to 13 mm, which corresponds to the volume of the sheet. Then you should outline the line along which the profile will be attached.
5. At the fifth stage, marking is carried out on the ceiling using a plumb line. Next, a plasterboard wall frame is mounted with fastening guides along the marked lines.
6. At the sixth stage, the profile is cut into segments of the required length with metal scissors or a grinder. Then they are attached to the vertical racks of the frame, placing them opposite the horizontal profiles. Self-tapping screws must be used for best fixing. Such elements are necessary for fastening horizontal profiles that form a niche.
7. At the seventh stage, the contour of the niches is mounted with the further connection of the vertical racks of the wall frame with jumpers from a metal profile. During installation, the position of the profiles is carefully verified using the building level.
eight. At the eighth stage, our sheathing is carried out with sheets of drywall. Initial actions are carried out from the side walls with their further fastening on the frame using self-tapping screws. In the future, you should once again measure the size of the openings and cut sheets of a suitable size. Then they must be glued to the wall with glue. The latter is selected based on the material used for the main wall. Next, drywall sheets are fastened to the front side of the frame.
9. At the ninth stage, finishing work is carried out. But in order to completely align the joints when performing puttying work, it is necessary to use a putty reinforcing tape. Next, a layer of putty is applied with a spatula. After that, the laying of the sickle mesh takes place. And the wall must dry. Only then is the final layer of putty applied, and the wall with the formed niches is considered complete.
