Quite often it turns out that there is too little room for the installation of furniture. In this case, you can make a choice in favor of various elements from drywall, which sometimes successfully replace cabinets, dressers and even small racks. Also, plasterboard will help create a composition that perfectly fit into the room. Unlike the already finished furniture, the dimensions of the elements from drywall we choose themselves, pushing out from the available free space of the room.

Many people to create shelvesand other elements From plasterboard They hire specialists, but this building process is quite simple. To successfully carry out all the work on the creation of the shelves, you need to know some things about which we will tell in this material.

Main features of plasterboard elements

First of all it is necessary to say that the creation shelves from plasterboard - This is a budget option that will cost several times cheaper of the purchase of furniture. In addition, many people, due to the lack of choice in the furniture store, acquire cabinets and racks of large sizes, which are poorly fit into the room. The dimensions of the elements of the plasterboard control us themselves, so there will be no problems with planning space in the room.

It's not a secret for a long time that plasterton It is a versatile material. With it, create designer suspended ceilings, rounded walls. Production shelves from plasterboard - relatively simple task. Many people create similar elements after a major repairs when small pieces of material remain unnecessary.

Proper layout of drywall shelves

In front of any actions associated with the creation of shelves, you need to spend high-quality plan. It should be understood that the plasterboard is not heavy-duty material, so it will take several sheets to combine the shelves at once. It should be especially serious to this case, if the regiment is needed to install the TV or other household equipment. In these cases, additional fastening will be required.

Also to create reliable shelves need to apply metal corners. Attaching them to the wall and drywall, we get a super-row regiment, which can withstand several tens of weight kilograms.

If the shelf is created exclusively as a decorative element, no additional fasteners needed.

Mounting process design

To mount the shelves, we need the following materials:

• guide strips;
• racking galvanized profiles;
• screw screws;
• plasterboard sheets;
• sandpaper;
• primer;
• plastic grid.

To create a shelves of the original form, it will also be necessary to purchase arched profiles.

Also in the process of repair work will require tools:

• roulette;
• screwdriver;
• building level;
• pencil;
• marker;
• plumb;
• plane;
• bulgarian;
• hammer;
• pliers;
• putty knife;
• hacksaw;
• tassel.

First of all, it is necessary to collect the framework of our future design. Ultimately, a niche should be turned out, which is filled with gypsum sheets.

To create a mounted shelf, we need to build a separate framework, the cross section of the metal profile should be 50 × 25 mm.

To mark the walls, it is necessary to use the construction level. The perforator drills holes in places where fasteners are necessary. To ensure reliable attachment, it is necessary to use a frequent step of fasteners. Also to improve reliability are traverses and various types of frames.

Along the profiles it is necessary to secure the guide strips that will create a kind of future crate.

Next comes a turn of creating a trim. In this case, any wood material will be required. You can use conventional plywood sheets, and you can use chipboard or MDF. In addition, for the trim, people often use mirrors, but it is necessary to choose an impaired material.

It is worth saying that in all this process the most important stage is cutting works. First of all, it is necessary to make measurements of all elements and transfer them to a sheet of plasterboard. To cut the blank, it is necessary to make an incision on one side of the material and break it. For alignment of the corner of the material, sandpaper can be useful. To the crate sheets of plasterboard are attached with the help of self-tapping screws.

Now we need to polish the parts of the plasterboard using all the same sandpaper. It is unacceptable the presence of even the smallest flaws. All joints need to apply a small layer of gypsum putty. Now the seams are stuck with the reinforcing mesh, and on top of it is applied the second layer of putty. At the very end, after complete drying, the final layer of putty is applied.

To create smooth angles will be required corner profileswhich are glued to the design with primer. It is best to use steel corners that are distinguished by high strength. Next, the surface can be covered by any primer composition. It is necessary to monitor so that no irregularities appear. Before the primer, it is better to arm emery with sandpaper and thoroughly treat the entire necessary surface of the shelves. After drying shelves You can safely load any objects, but should not overdo it, since the plasterboard is not intended for too serious loads.

Also from drywall you can create shelves of various forms. To do this, you will need drywall sheets of high strength, which during the work will need to be moistened - this will help bend the material. However, for his hardening will have to wait a few days, no loading shelves.

The entire amount of work will take a maximum of several hours. In addition, this building process does not imply a big weight of money for construction materials, so many shelves from drywall will seem much more profitable to ordinary furniture.
