When interior decoration of a modern city or country house, there are always a lot of questions. After all, how and what will you repair, in that and you will live with your family. And to live not one year and not two, but most likely all life, also children will inherit. This of course, if it is well repaired, and above all, to give preference to environmentally friendly materials, so that the rest of your life over this very purity is not to reflect.
And in nature, such material has long occupied leading positions for finishing the premises, and calling it - gypsum board. This material, made of gypsum and pasted with pressed cardboard on both sides. Its main function is the formation of flat and smooth surfaces. Thanks to plasterboard, it is possible to straighten any old wall, without exerting great effort, to give it any desired shape, without excess dust and dirt. It is also possible to build a new partition between rooms, fixing it on a metal or wooden frame, leveling ceilings and walls, and also quickly and seamlessly build window slopes from plasterboard with their own hands, without straining and without the qualifications of an experienced builder.
Window escarpment is a part of the wall that adjoins the window aperture. Mounting slopes is done by replacing old windows with new ones. If you decide to buy plastic or wooden new windows, then to great regret the dismantling of old windows can not be made without damaging the slopes. Slopes - are brought to a normal state, only after full installation of windows. For this operation it is very important to prepare in advance. In order not to damage the frame, it must be wrapped in a protective film. In the upper slope of the window, it is desirable to insert a mesh-mantle to reinforce the upper layer of the slope and improve strength. Side slopes can not be reinforced, since the vertical wall and so creates the necessary strength and durability. A slope must be made, strictly perpendicular to the frame and wall.
You can do it yourself without resorting to help from repairmen.
How to make a gypsum board from your own hands?
- We make measurements.
- Over the previous slopes, cleaned of dust and pieces of old plaster, responsibly primed.
- We cut out from gipsokartonovogo sheet blanks for slopes - a strip of the necessary length and width according to previously removed parameters. Drywall is very simply cut with a special knife if it has, of course, a well-sharpened blade.
- While the primer dries, we have a lot of free time to try on the prepared material, if necessary, to equate it, so that it will fit well into its place. Take care that there are no small crevices and gaps.
- Prepare the mounting glue - it must be kneaded only before use. Pour the required amount of the mixture into the water, and mix it with a mixer until a thick mixture forms. Concentrate on the recommendations on the package, in general, the shelf life of the prepared solution is no more than an hour. Therefore, it is necessary to work quickly and quickly.
- With a confident movement of the putty knife we transfer the glue to the wall, and then, gently stick the prepared strip of gypsum board onto the slope itself.
Repeat the operation on the other side, and the slopes will be made. Now, and you are convinced that finishing the slopes of gypsum boards with your own hands, does not take much time and effort. Remove the protective film from the entire product, wipe the slopes and the window sill with a dry rag. Gypsum plasterboard slopes have great advantages: quick installation, easy maintenance and of course a beautiful appearance.
