The box is made of plasterboard with their hands

Very often it occurs during repairs need for concealment of certain structural elements, such as radiators mounted outside. Naturally, residents often want to hide them to make the interior more aesthetic. Undoubtedly, the fact of radiators outside can at any time have access to them, for example, for repair or replacement.

How to make a box of drywall in the home

But domestic builders often install radiators, to put it mildly, not very nice and tidy. Very often, the pipe installed crooked, and very ugly look. During pasting wall wallpaper pipes and radiators create additional complexity, since for them it is very difficult to perform pasting. Therefore, the perfect solution that allows to hide these shortcomings is to create a box of drywall.

As a result of the creation of such a box is greatly simplified the process of gluing wallpaper and manages to hide all the "mistakes" that were made by builders.

Our main task is to carry out all stages of repair their own hands, so further detail will describe the process of creating a box of drywall. In this case, you will be able to show their creativity and skills. We emphasize that working with drywall and pretty simple to create the required elements of it and everyone can.

The process of preparation for the manufacture of boxes made of plasterboard

The first thing you need to be primed and perform painting pipes, which will continue to put in our box. These operations are carried out to protect the pipes from the occurrence of corrosion processes, as well as extend the life of the heating system of your house or apartment. Each of these tasks requires no special knowledge or experience, so they can carry out easily.

Next, you have to address the holes in the ceiling, which spoil the view. These holes are located next to the pipes, leaving the upper floors. Sometimes these holes strike terror in the wizard, since they can be quite large, and it seems that the builders simply did not undertake work in this area. To get rid of these openings it is possible using the foam core and a special plaster mixture. The last stage of the preparation cycle is waiting for the moment when all the solution dry.

We begin to make box

When the preparatory phase drew to a close, it's time for the main part of the work - the manufacture of boxes. It's one thing when the task is to cover a wall or other structure with sheets of plasterboard, and another thing to build a specific structure of the material. Boxes are often made in the bathrooms, and are used to cover pipes. This operation is often preceded by decorating the walls with tiles. In this case, all work a little harder and we consider a simpler option - the creation of ducts for heating pipes.

In the must-see destination is the existence of profiles. They should be chosen in such a way as to have reinforcing ribs. To solve our problem ceiling profile fit perfectly, which is easily found in any hardware store. Very often you can find the same profiles with different coefficients of stiffness. You should choose more rigid profiles as it will give structural strength. But do not buy the most rigid profile, as in this case will be difficult to screw in a screw him on the stage of designing the drywall. Even screwdriver sometimes can not cope with the toughest profiles and hand tighten it certainly will not work. It is also worth mentioning that it is very hard shape having a larger thickness will be a strong spring, and at this time will repel drywall screw on the profile, which greatly complicates the task. If in such a case to continue screwing the screw, this may cause cracks in the wallboard and the screw cap in this case strongly drown. As a result, yielding destroyed hole fail to achieve secure adhesion of the sheet material.

It is time to go to the process of manufacturing a box. This will require the presence of three vertical sections, the height of which will be from floor to ceiling. Also needed are short jumper that can be made from scraps. In our case, there is a profile 27h28, which is perfect for the production of his jumper.

Consider the sequence of actions for the optimal course of the process. Attaching two vertical profiles to the wall will not cause any difficulties, but immediately raises the question: how to fix the third profile? In this case, it is best to use fastening devices which serve for working with profiles - the developers have taken care of us and saved our time. Under one profile fixed directly hanger, then you want to bend the ends. The entire surface of the suspensions is easy to see, has many holes prepared to help carry out the positioning profile with high precision.

Create boxes to help us align the corner, so in need accurate benchmark, which does not allow to stray from the right path. Great solution is to use lasers having excellent accuracy and enables you to create well-defined angles.

Pre raschertit standing on the floor perpendicular lines. The error in this case should not be allowed, even the least of its value. Next, we go directly to the walls. Vertical laser beam our miracle-leveling device will accurately install two profiles on the walls, as well as create all necessary conditions for good positioning of the third Profile. This profile must be installed on the short side of the box. His attachment should be carried out by using suspension. Leveler in this case allows to perform tasks well and is an indispensable element in the manufacture of boxes made of plasterboard.

Note that each vertical profile which, it seems, is firmly fixed to the wall, is able to deform. Therefore, to create a strengthening of preventing these problems, create a horizontal lintel. To do this, on the crease on the profile you need to make cuts with scissors for metal. Then you need to bend the middle element perpendicularly. Having made several such connectors, fasten them with screws, to achieve high strength. Now, our design is characterized by high resistance and will not be deformed, thus preserving the flatness of sheets of drywall.

The moment has come when it is necessary to perform cutting drywall. The first thing you need to cut elements for the wide side, then cut the pieces to the narrow side. If you think about it, the sequence of pieces of drywall preparation is not critical, and these operations are quite successful change - the end result will not change.

Note that the fixing sheet of plasterboard to the box, manufactured from a profile, is easier than mounting structure of the profile process. At this point you will feel that the finish is near and the work will be more enjoyable because ahead awaits an excellent result.

The main drawback encountered during installation duct made of plasterboard, the screwing operation is screws in the inside, as the dimensions of the box are small screwdriver will not be able to climb all the necessary area. Also, do not forget that drywall strips are flexible and can easily crack, so tightening the screws, you should feel good about the effort and do not overdo it. Because otherwise it needs to cut a new piece of material that will replace that piece, which was broken due to strong pressure from the screw. The distance from the edge of the sheet of plasterboard to the screw should not be less than 15 mm, otherwise the material will break easily.

To summarize, we note that the production of boxes of plasterboard is a fairly simple task, and it will not require you a lot of effort, time and expertise as well as experience. Following this instruction, patience, ingenuity, accuracy, you can create a true masterpiece that has angles. In the future, the presence of such boxes have a positive impact on the beauty of your interior. After tasting the production figures of plasterboard, each will open up new opportunities and be able to create unique things that can not be found anywhere else. This construction technology is now accessible to everyone thanks to the detailed description of the process. Study, try and do not be afraid to make mistakes - if you are waiting for new heights in this area!

Employing your imagination and gain experience in the manufacture of a box of drywall, you can create new solutions for your home, made, for example, ducts for pipes that are in the bathroom. Each time, complicating the task, you get invaluable experience that will help in the future to perform any elements with plasterboard. After all, this material is very easy to cut and lets you make of it, even complex shapes - it all depends on the imagination of the master. Set a new challenge, achieve the goal and repair will be truly joyful event for you.
