Why is it dangerous to install thin profiles under drywall

The strength, reliability of drywall directly depends on the quality of the frame (metal profile) and fasteners. Correct installation will ensure the reliability of the structure for a long time.

Everyone learned how to choose the right drywall for finishing. Many people know about its main varieties (GFL, GKL, GVL). We are familiar with the properties of the material: moisture resistance, fire resistance, fire and moisture resistance. The fire-resistant sheet has a pinkish tint, and the moisture-resistant green. Plain gray material.

It is very important to choose the right profile for drywall. What should be the thickness of the profile so that you don't have to redo the repair later?

This small detail is overlooked. This is especially true for customers who, without advice and preliminary clarification of the technology, buy a thin profile themselves. They buy the cheapest profile to save money, and then they complain about the repairs done.

For example, a ceiling profile 60x27x3000 mm is sold in Leroy. Price - 76 rubles per piece. Those who are always accustomed to saving money will buy it first. Many people complain that it is completely unusable.

The profile is soft as foil and the screws scroll and tear the profile like paper. As a carrier, it is not recommended to use it, it will definitely lead.

If you make, for example, partitions of thin metal, the walls will "play". You slam the door, just walk, vibration is created and cracks appear at the joints of the drywall. Even if the joints are reinforced, you will still see cracks over time.

A profile for 96 rubles (length 1.5 meters) can be found in the same store with a metal thickness of 0.6 mm. It is this option that is good for drywall. High quality and very tough material. With it, you can make a solid structure for any purpose. You can use a 0.55 mm profile. It is difficult to bend such material with your hands.

Conclusion: 0.4mm and especially 0.3mm cannot be used. if you don't want to ruin the plasterboard lining. Even without effort by hand, such a profile bends like foil. It will not withstand weight and vibration loads.
