Installation of a plasterboard partition

If the apartment needs to install a partition, then the best and economical option will be the use of drywall sheets. Install them on a wooden or metal frame. When installing a wooden frame, a beam made of coniferous wood is used, saturated with antiseptic agents.

With a standard height of the rooms, vertical racks are chosen with a section of 60×80 mm. They are installed with a step of 60 cm. Installation of the frame begins with the installation of bars. First, the beam of the marking is attached to the ceiling surface, then to the base of the floor, the vertical is attached to the walls. Races are installed in the obtained frame.

The easiest is the fastening using bars. Their screws are screwed to the strapping and rack. If you need to strengthen the structure, it is better to use metal corners. For the doorway, vertical bars are installed on both sides, and a jumper on top. A piece corresponding to the width of the doorway is cut at the bottom of the strapping.

For conducting communications in a wooden frame, holes of the required diameter are made in rack structures. The cable laid should be protected by the corrugation to reduce the risk of fire from wood. Assembled frame, sheathed with leaf plasterboard. It is fixed to wooden racks with screws with a wide hat, with the depth of visiting 30-35 cm.

In places of doorways, sheets are shifted to its center on both sides by 15-20 cm. Above the horizontal upper jumper to the ceiling with the same displacement, the racks are installed on the left and right. When installing drywall, between the sheets and the ceiling, a 4-5 mm gap is left, which is subsequently putty.

Before sheathing the frame on the other hand, it is filled with foam plates with a thickness of 5 cm. They are cut in size and glued to drywall. Then the mineral wool is glued to the foam layer. Cover the second side with sheets of drywall with a displacement of sheets by 60 cm, relative to the opposite coating. The partition is ready for finishing.
