The process of creating a drywall niche
At the very beginning of the building process, it is necessary to determine what depth will niche and what it is needed. If we need a design to install a LED TV, you will need only a few centimeters of depth. Just in case, it is possible to significantly increase the thickness. In this case, the TV will be placed on the TV or other equipment. In any case, the recess depth must be at least 5 cm larger than the thickness of the TV. With this scenario, the equipment can not be hurt by passing by. Accordingly, the TV does not fall to the floor.
Further future held marking the metal structure. It will assess how the room will look like after the renovations. Also marking handy during the main part of the process.
With the help of drywall, you can create a niche of a wide variety of forms. To do this, you need to purchase special metal profiles, with which it will be possible to create curved surfaces. In addition, in this case, it will be necessary to moisten the plasterboard, which will be flexing it to the desired forms.
A metal frame is attached to the wall with a dowel. Preliminary will need to do in the wall of the hole. For this purpose, the perforator is useful. It is necessary to check out several times and make sure that the design is really secure. Do not even consider the items that will be located on the design, the frame must withstand the high weight of the plasterboard. To monitor the smoothness of vertical and horizontal lines, a construction level is used.
Now there comes the main part of the process, during which the finish of a niche plasteron is obtained. First you need to cut parts of the drywall under the dimensions of the niche. Attach the material to the wall with the help of glue to prepare. It is best to take advantage of ready-made mixtures that are sold in any construction store. In some cases, it is possible to use construction "clouds", which are small coins. It is important to note that before the process of finishing on sheets of drywall, it is necessary to do holes for outlets.
The walls of the design must have a decent thickness. This applies to the lower part of the niche, on which, for example, a TV will be located. To improve reliability, it is best to use two layers of plasterboard.
After completing the creation of the trim, it is necessary to get rid of the curves of the joints between the sheets of the material. To do this, use putty. In addition, this procedure should be carried out in places where fasteners are placed, since they should not be seen. In order to get rid of small flaws and polish the surface of the design, you can use sandpaper.
The end of the process of creating a niche of a drywall
At the very end of the process, it will take painting design. If the niche is located in the bedroom, it is better to use the dark colors.
Only after all the above stages you can start installing electrical equipment. The design of plasterboard allows the wires under the construction material. Accordingly, the entire wiring can be hidden from the eye of the tenants.
In addition, in some cases, various lamps can be installed on niches. In the dark, it creates an excellent atmosphere and the external look of the room. The design and appearance of this housing element depends only on your imagination.
