Installation of a septum from plaster puzzle plates with their own hands

In various conditions, it is required to create partitions. This can be carried out with the aim of separating space in a private house, or within an office or a traffic point. As practice shows, a wide variety of materials can be used for these purposes, but the most practical option is the use of gypsum puzzle plates.

The laboriousness of works related to the creation of a partition is high enough, but experience for conducting such works is not required. Accordingly, it remains only to learn the technology and try to prevent any errors in the process.

The prolonged part of the work lies in the preparatory activities, and often precisely from them and depends on the overall success of repair activities.

Installation of partitions from plaster discogeneous plates. Materials and tools

For mounting partitions, we will need the following construction resources:

• moisture-resistant gypsum puzzle plates (often their size is 667x500x100 mm);
• dry glue mix for mounting plates.

As for tools, it is often the following list:

• roulette;
• plumb;
• building level;
• box and celma;
• hacksaw;
• plane;
• rubber hammer;
• brush;
• screwdriver.

In rare cases, there is a need for a drill and electric strokesse.

Installation of partitions from plaster discogeneous plates. Marking

As we have said, preparatory work is often becoming decisive in the process of creating partitions, and all in this process begins with room markup.

• To make marking, you need to have a roulette and plumb. With the help of these tools, all previously planned work plans will be observed. Also for applying markup exactly at the desired points you can use a laser level, which will allow several simplify the process.
• Experts note that when applying marking is most important to pay attention to the vertical lines. The fact is that when installing the puzzle plates, the vertical deviations will not be noticeable immediately. Accordingly, if the owners still risk completed work even with this problem, then it is impossible to exclude that after a while the design will be in disrepair.
• Therefore, in the case of the marking of vertical elements, it is desirable to use a plumb, not a conventional roulette.
• First of all, control points are determined on the ceiling, after which you can move to the markup closer to the floor. All this is controlled by a plumbing, as even minimal deviations from the point on the ceiling and on the floor are not allowed.
• If initially markup occurred using a roulette, then in front of the main works everything should be checked with a plumb. If the deviations are present, then with the most likely it is a problem of roulette or other tool, but not a plumb.
• It is important to know that the markup should be the minimum of points or lines, since excess information does only harm and complicates the repair process.

Cleaning the room and surface preparation

Garbage and other contaminants present in the room can make a lot of problems associated with the quality of repair work. Perhaps a good solution will be the transfer of all things, including outdoor materials, to another room. This will allow several simplify the process, as well as create more free space for work.

Also, partitions are often created on the basis of elastic tape, so it is necessary to carry out its installation.

• The elastic noise insulating gasket can significantly improve the properties of the partition, passing through itself at least external noise. It is attached to the base of the walls, as well as to the surface of the ceiling. For installation, a binder solution is used.
• First of all, the solution is applied throughout the perimeter, where the gasket will be located. Most often it is not the width of the elastic ribbon, but the duration of the entire partition.
• Immediately, without losing a single second after applying the solution, styling elastic tape is carried out. At the same time you need to check the surface horizontality. The fact is that after applying the solution, small tuberculos may be formed, negatively affecting the final result.
• After mounting the elastic ribbon on the floor, it is attached to the rest of the surfaces that we spoke a little higher. Again, the most important thing is to control the position of the material and the absence of tubercles.

Specialists are recommended to lay the elastic ribbons using roller. You can spend several times with this tool on the surface of the ribbon and get the perfectly flat base for the partition.

If the base is uneven, then you will have to perform several steps of work to bring everything in proper condition.

• First of all, the entire perimeter, where the partition will be installed, must be purified. You should throw away all the garbage and clean the surfaces.
• Immediately after marking the places where the partition will be located, concrete-contact is applied using a painting brush. Next, you can immediately use the cement-sand mixture, which the floor is aligned. The thickness of the layer should not exceed 30 mm.
• After drying the tie from above, you can apply a primer layer. Next, when all this is driving, it is possible to lay the elastic tape.

As for the width of the elastic ribbon, if the partition has a thickness of 100 mm, then the ribbon material should be limited to 90 mm.

To facilitate the installation of the partition, you can use a device called Metrostat. It is installed on some kind of corner of the future partition, after which, with the help of the clamp on the rail, its extension takes place to the ceiling. Next takes place, as well as additional control with the help of a construction level located on the rail.

Plates for creating a partition

It should be borne in mind that the preparatory work in this case relate to the puzzle plates. The bottom line is that the installation of this material may occur groove up. With this situation, it is required to cut a spike using a hacksaw with a large tooth.

Also, a difficult task is to align the surface on which the spikes were cut. Most often, these irregularities may be more than a serious threat to obtain a reliable partition.

Puzzle plates are available on the basis of gypsum, so such material will be uncomfortable. But at the same time it is worth understanding that it is necessary to damage the surface - the problem is elementary, so it is worth being careful.

Installation of the partition from plaster discogeneous plates

It is necessary to note in advance that the installation of puzzle plates does not have any serious restrictions. It is possible to carry out the installation and the groove up and spike down. However, the first option is preferable due to the convenience of applying the solution.

The solution that is necessary for creating a kind of base is applied to the elastic tape, or simply to the floor, if there is no need for insulation.

• If the laying occurs from the angle, the binding solution should be applied immediately under two plates.
• The first stove is located in the Metrostat. Accurate alignment of this device occurs, and if necessary, adjust the initial values. During this process, you need to catch up to the end of the material with a rubber hammer, which will allow slightly align the slab horizontally.
• Setting the next plate with a spinal spike occurs in such a way that it is tightly adjacent to the very first unit of material. Again, to ensure the fit of this slab to the rest of the surfaces, you need to arm a rubber hammer and tapping at the necessary directions.
• After installing the plates, the solution is removed, which can create problems if it is not lost on time.
• The most difficult thing in the process is a nodal connection of the plates. The situation is such that partitions can be sufficiently specific, so it is often necessary to combine 3 plates with each other. In this case, the same installation occurs, as we pointed out above, but in addition occurs the tapping of two lateral discogeneous plates. This allows you to provide a sufficient density of the future partition. Also, a good solution will first install the side slabs, and only then mount the central, which should be tightly logged in the installed framework. Ultimately, this most central stove should create 2 symmetric angle of 90 degrees.
• The mount can occur not only with the help of binder solutions, but also on the basis of steel corners. Practice shows that it is best to immediately combine the 2nd method of installation to obtain the most reliable fastening result.
• After installing each individual slab, you need to take the construction level and control the position of the material. While the binder solution is not still frozen, you can produce small adjustments.
• Immediately after we installed the plates around the perimeter (equipped the entire first row), you need to create places for installing spikes. These are the same angular compounds that we talked a little earlier.
• To spike insert into the groove, it is necessary to make 2 feeding, and ultimately the gap will be equal to the spike width. Now we have 2 perpendicular grooves that are ideal for plates of the second row.
• In this process, as in the case of brick masonry, you need to create a breakdown of vertical seams. The essence of the task is also to save the material, and not to make it cutting when laying near the walls, so the offset compared to the previous one may be minimal.

Door installation

The problem of creating partitions is often lies in the fact that the standard length of the puzzle plates is 667 mm, while the doorway has a width of 900 mm. Therefore, if there is a need to create a doorway, you need to purchase plates whose length is 900 mm.

The essence of the idea is that with the standard length of the slab we get a sufficiently unreliable design, so you have to use a special jumper, for the arrangement of which there will have to make a lot of effort. In the case of wide puzzle plates, the jumper acquires a slightly different design, which creates favorable conditions for obtaining a qualitative result. Despite this, it will still have to make a cutting tile, since the blocking of the material in places of the opening will be about 440 mm. The cutting need to be performed is verified, since small deviations can significantly affect the external component design.

The mounting process of the jumper is as follows:

• A plywood or board is used as the main material to create the jumper. This design must have a P-shaped form.
• The mounting of the P-shaped jumper occurs to the ends of the slabs of the partition using two screws, and on each side. In parallel, you need to control the horizontal of the reference part using the construction level.
• A knitting material is applied to the ends of the plates, after that the first top plate is set, which is tightly pressed against the jumper. Again, the construction level should be involved in a short period of process.
• The second stove above the doorway is established on the above principle.

After the partition is fully equipped, the jumper can be deleted. This is done simply enough, but at the same time it is necessary to take into account the fact that caution in this process is clearly not excess.

Installation of plates to the ceiling

Experts recommend to leave between the ceiling and the finishing layer of the partition, the gap, which will be approximately 20 mm. Thus, the completion of the process occurs in the following order:

• The space that we received after creating a partition from the puzzle plates, you need to fill out using the mounting foam, however, all the dust and other contaminants are removed before it, which can significantly affect the final result.
• After using the mounting foam, as well as the pouring, the remains need to be removed. For this case, you can use a regular knife, but you need to keep it at some angle so that there is a slight recess. This is the deepening then will be filled with putty.
• Well, ultimately the sealing of this very junction takes place using putty. Ultimately, the surface should turn out to be smooth.

You can also carry out the same works, but somewhat in any way:

• The process of mounting the finish layer of plates begins on the material. Ultimately, there should be a cutting tile on 2 parts at an angle of 45 degrees.
• By markup, using the hacksaw, there is a sawing material to 2 equal parts.
• On the penultimate series of the partition, the layer of binder is applied, and immediately the cropped tile is installed in such a way that the spike place is directed upwards.
• Ultimately, an empty gap that turned out as a result of the work is filled with putty. The material is applied by large layers to provide high density.
