We all want repairs in our housing to be carried out quickly, efficiently, inexpensively and, as they say, “without noise and dust”. That is, with a minimum amount of dirt and debris.
The use of drywall solves most of these problems.
Advantages of drywall:
– high speed and ease of repair work;
– ideal evenness of the resulting surfaces, for subsequent decorative coating;
– the minimum number of wet processes (putty, plaster);
– no need for wall chasing, for laying electrical communications;
– the possibility of laying heat and waterproofing.
In addition, drywall is strong enough, non-flammable and non-toxic.
Disadvantages of drywall:
– High hygroscopicity. Drywall has the ability to absorb excess moisture from the air. This is useful for rooms with normal and moderate humidity, but high humidity can destroy this material;
– Relative fragility. Drywall does not withstand high mechanical loads.
Gypsum cardboard of residential premises is carried out by conventional sheets of GKL marking. These sheets can be mounted on special frame systems, or glued directly on the wall.
The frame method of fastening is used when facing very uneven surfaces, as well as for styling between the sheets and the wall of a significant layer of thermal insulation.
The frame is mounted from UD and CD profiles, and attached to the floor and walls. GCL sheets are fixed on it using screws.
Gloring drywall is advisable on fairly even and durable walls (brick or concrete). Gluing drywall is carried out directly on the prepared wall surface using a special gypsum adhesive.
Plasterboard lining of service premises (kitchen, bathroom, toilet) is carried out using the same technologies as in residential premises, with the difference that in this case waterproof plasterboard of the GKLV marking is used.
In places of increased fire risk, fire-resistant drywall marked GKLO and GKLVO is used.
Plasterboard on the ceiling. Installation of suspended plasterboard ceilings is a somewhat more complicated task than wall cladding. In this case, the construction of a carefully calibrated and sufficiently strong suspension system will be required.
However, the advantages of such ceilings are undeniable:
– ample opportunities for organizing optimal lighting;
– the possibility of creating multi-level ceilings;
– providing good heat and sound insulation.
The latter is especially true for multi-storey buildings.
