Experiment of a friend - Botan on the development of wall alignment methods

With Vadik, we have been friends for a long time. He is seriously engaged in science. Externally, the "botan" is absolutely not like, engaged in the gym. When there is an opportunity, pumps muscles, helping me at a construction site. Now we are doing interior decoration Houses, which builds my friend to himself. Any joint work begins with questions: why and how to make it yourself.

In the cottage Vadik several rooms and he wanted to learn how to perform alignment of walls in various ways:

• plasterboard directly on the walls;
• installation of metal frameworks;
• wooden frame for plasterboard;
• plaster walls on beacons.

For the purity of the experiment, I did not use the professional tool available. Used amateur and minimum special: rule and linear level.

Now we took up the interior of the house, which builds my friend

The rest of the fixtures and tools are standard, with their own hands for overhaul:

• spatulas;
• drill with various nozzles;
• screwdriver;
• lobzik;
• roller;
• tassels;
• scissors for metal;
• cord;
• grief machine.

For measurements and counting the consumption of materials of the roulette and calculator.

Wall Alignment Tools

Make the frame and we are cutting with drywall

In Samoa great room The walls were uneven. In addition, it was necessary to hide a lot of wires and pipes of various systems. It was decided to make the alignment of the walls of the plasterboard, fixed on the frame. This method allows you to simultaneously mount the insulation. But it was enough for us to put cork panels for the insulation of the sound. The main thing is that the loud music in the living room does not interfere with resting in other rooms.
Work to my friend was not difficult, he could do everything with his own hands.

Alignment frame method

It's just uncomfortable to do one person, and I helped:

1. Preparation of walls is simple. Wash with a linear level curvature of walls.
2. On the perimeter of the room on the floor, the line was shot down, which will be attached by plasterboard.
3. Vadik screwed up on the floor guide profile along marking.
4. The vertical lines secured the suspension.
5. A friend inserted the rack end of the rack profile into the guides on the floor and branded him to the suspensions. I held, helping to set up the level. You can independently fix the racks in the corners and pull the cords to align the middle profiles.
6. The strapping of the gangs of Vadik did it alone.
7. The height is greater than the length of the leaf of the gimsocarton. Under the joints horizontally, the crab attached the plank. This is done in a checker, as they are set.
8. Plasterboard to the profile screwed quickly. Used selflessness and screwdriver. Tighted with such a calculation so that the screw head slightly drowned.
9. The joints and dents from the fastener of Vadik embarked on the next day, after the primer was dried.

A friend asked how to align the walls under the wallpaper. To do this, it remained to clean the irregularities and go again again the finish putty. Under painting, we covered all the walls with primer and then the starting lineup. After stripping, a friend did everything with his own hands with the finish solution. Each time the lens defined the protrusions and cleaned.

Smooth walls, plasterboard mounted without frame

In a room with relatively smooth walls, a friend studied mounted plasterboard without a frame. Preparation consisted in determining the tilt of the walls and removing protrusions. We accumulated depressions and deviation from the vertical. The location was put on the places. The biggest holes were fired further with pieces of drywall.
I assisted the gypsum cardboard Vadik. Sheets are large and one person is difficult to align it. It caused a mixture to the leaf with spots around the perimeter and the axis of the sheet. Then we put the plasterboard close to the previous sheet. Alignment was made by rubber Cyans. A friend walked a sheet on the protrusion while I kept the level. Then the horizontal plane was then checked.
They datched immediately because they put horizontal joints with the displacement. In the day, Vadik covered everything with a soil and finished the putty and sweeping with his own hands. Preparation for the finishing passed without my help.

Alignment of walls with plasterboard without frame

Alignment of the walls with a wet way on beams from the profile

The tile is heavy and gluing it on plasterboard is not desirable. Therefore, Vadik mastered the alignment of the walls along beacons and learned to stucked with her own hands.
I explained to a friend how to install beacons on the wall. First you need to prepare the surface, determine the curvature and place the vertical lines at a distance of one and a half meters. For myself, I do a step more - two. But a friend has no experience. A gypsum solution is applied by slides after 30 - 40 cm. The beacon profile is installed with a rounded riding. Equals in terms of level and pressed into the solution. First, extreme beacons from the corners. Then the cords are stretched, and the average profiles are equal to them.

Plaster for beacons - a reliable way of aligning walls

Gypsum freezes quickly. Therefore, the beacons are put one by one immediately after a solution of the solution. The next day, Vadik began plastering cement-sandy mortar. The mixture was bought dry, ready. A friend pounced with his own hands the composition on the wall and spent the bottom up with the rule. A long plank easily slid over the surface of the beacons. Then the solution was added to the depressions and repeated everything first.
In the morning of the next day, when the walls were grabbed, we gently pulled the beacons. Captured the top edge and rejected the bar from the wall. Close the narrow grooves should be embedded after complete drying of the solution. You can do alignment of walls by lighthouses and do not remove the profile, but only on the interior walls.
After complete drying, the walls were saddled, put off the start, then the finish solution after stripping.

Stretching the mixture by the Rule of Lighthouses

Making beacons from gypsum profile

Vadik was interested in how to install lighthouses on the wall without a profile. In the next room, he did the alignment of the walls in my instructions with his own hands.

He already had experience with a gypsum solution and rule:

1. The curvature of the wall vertically is measured, and marks are made.
2. A solution of a solid band is thrown along the layout line.
3. The rule is held vertically from left to right throughout the height of the wall.
4. The resulting protrusion is checked, adjusted. Excess places are thrown by plaster.

As a result, semicircular tubercles are obtained. Medium beacons are made on stretched horizontally cords. The next day, Vadik plashed the wall. Then he was primed and brought to putty to the state of the state.

Gypsum lighthouses

Pay special attention to equalizing the corners

Plasterboard becomes smooth. Plaster requires to equalize the angles of the walls. I use corner spatulas for this. They represent a plate bent at right angles. On one handle comes on the performance, on the other in the depression. It is enough to spend the bottom up, and a clear angle is formed in the plaster layer.
In the solution we take a perforated corner profile, exposing it on a plunder or level. Then I smoke the surface. This method not only makes the angles of smooth, but also strengthens them. Aligning corners with your own hands without a profile for beginner masters Procedure is complex.

Overhaul of the apartment rarely costs without such a procedure as the alignment of the walls. An ideal geometry of premises do not differ even new buildings, not to mention old houses. If a couple of decades ago did not pay due attention, today even the walls are a prerequisite condition for quality repairs. At first glance, this is a difficult operation, but, showing patience, accuracy and observing step-by-step instructions, even the newcomer is able to cope with it.

Methods of alignment of walls

To align the wall curves in the apartment, you can choose one of the two main methods:

• applying a plaster mix;
• facing with plasterboard.

Both ways have their advantages and disadvantages.

Pluses of plastering

Stucco alignment technology used long ago. Mixtures are used on plaster or cement basis.

The main advantage of plastering is the minimum decrease in the room.

Other important methods:

• You can plaster walls in any room, regardless of its purpose and internal microclimate.
• On the material, the tile and other finishing coatings are perfect.
• If necessary, partial alignment with the application of the solution only in the desired location is applied.

Minuses

When choosing a method of alignment, you need to keep in mind that the method of plastering has significant disadvantages:

• Plastering mixtures recommended to level the walls with minor drops. Otherwise, it will be necessary to apply a too large layer of material, and it is expensive, long and time consuming.
• Plastering requires specific skills. The newcomer will have to work in the process of repair.
• The applied solution should dry before finishing, which requires no less than a week (time depends on the layer thickness).

Note! The entire plastering process is accompanied by education large number dirt and dust. We will have to carry out the furniture from the room and close the closed surface with the surface to protect them from contamination.

Pluses of alignment of plasterboard

Due to inconvenience when working with plaster Today, most people are preferred to level the wall curves using drywall. Its use has the following advantages:

• It allows you to relatively easily and quickly correct the flaws even very much the wall curve.
• Plasterboard can be smoked with walls from any material: brick, concrete, gas blocks, wood. The plaster is not with all the surfaces has sufficient adhesion.
• When using a frame method, additional warming of the walls is possible or improving their noise insulating properties.

Minuses

Disadvantages of using drywall:

• Reducing the internal volume of the room.
• GLCs poorly tolerate long-term contact with water. Even moisture-resistant drywall over time loses properties in such a medium.
• Requires careful preparation before finishing. This includes reinforcement of seams with a sickle or paper ribbon and embelling them with putty, primer, shpocking and lifting of a drywall surface.

It's important to know! With insufficiently high-quality processing of seams and violation of technology at the sheets of sheets, cracks often appear.

Stucco alignment

Before raving the walls on their own, it is desirable to learn the rates for this service from professionals. It is possible that the cost plastering Not so high and no sense to mess around with them yourself, risking in vain to spend time without achieving the desired result. In addition, experts have the ability to apply the mechanical method of applying plastering composition, almost inaccessible to the lonely wizard. By the way, shuttering with the machine method will cost 30-40% cheaper than manual. Approximate prices for work in Moscow and St. Petersburg. - at the end of the article.

Alignment of walls a rule (visual alignment)

Often it is not necessary to stucked the entire surface of the wall. Much more efficient to simply align the problem places in the form of a wpadin. The advantages of this method is a significant savings of time and material.

Special attention in alignment "on the eye" is given visually significant places. These are corners, doorways, wall joints and ceiling. The rest of the plane is leveled under the rule: it is pressed against the wall, and it is determined by the place of depression. Fill in them with a plastering solution, the rule is removed. And so as long as the tool does not fit to the plane without cleansing.

As a result, even if the wall has a slight degree of slope, it is almost impossible to notice. All decor elements, such as plinths or baguettes, are perfectly smoothly.

The visual method of alignment is quite complicated and, as a rule, is used by experienced builders.

After the completion of plaster works, the surface is processed by finishing putty and grind.

Step-by-step method of alignment with plaster without lighthouses is painted.

How to align the walls in the apartment plasterboard

Due to the complexity, plastering alignment is increasingly inferior to HELL position. It is used for those surfaces where too many plaster or its use is required and is impossible at all. For example, if we are talking about a wooden litter.

Plasterboard is mounted frame and frameless way. Each of them has its own scope and technology.

Installation of drywall framework method

It is advisable to mount the crate in the event of a significant curvature of the walls, and also if it is planned at the same time with alignment to conduct insulation of the room or increase its sound insulation. In the space under the plasterboard surface hide the wires, entering them into non-aggravated corrugations or cable channels.

Alignment technology Next:

• The minimum surface preparation is performed: wallpaper and poorly holding parts of the old coating are removed.
• A line is carried out on the ceiling, denoting the outer edge of the future surface of the wall.
• With the help of a plumb, it is transferred to the floor.
• On the surfaces are placed places of vertical racks and the attachment points of direct suspensions that serve to adjust their position. Racks are accommodated in a step of 60 cm: so each sheet of plasterboard will be fixed on three racks - two are located at the edges, and the third is in the middle. The step of fastening of the suspensions is 60 cm.

Clay mount on glue

It is used if the wall is relatively smooth. Installation of drywall is faster and easier than with a skeletal method, but requires careful surface preparation.

The order of work is as follows:

• The wall is cleaned of the old coating. Cracks are expanding and close up with a repair solution, the protrusions are knocked down.
• A layer of deep penetration with antiseptic properties is applied to the entire base surface with antiseptic properties.
• Plasterboard sheets are reproduced.
• GLC is attached to special glue. It is not necessary to lubricate the entire surface to them: it is enough to carry out the strip around the perimeter and make several "pisels" inside it.
• The fragment is pressed against the wall. Adjusting its position with the help of a level, it is held for about a minute until the glue mixture is captured.

The most responsible moment is the installation of the first element of the trim: it is on it that all follows will be equalized.

• So sequentially glitters of drywall. To reduce the load and prevent crawling sheets, bite the rail from below. It will keep fragments on the spot until glue gets dry and will not provide a reliable clutch. After that, the rail dismantle and closes this place by the plinth.

HCL finishing

In front of the finishing, such as blending wallpaper, carry out the finishing preparation of the drywall surface:

• The seams are squeezed with a reinforcing grid and close up with a putty.
• After drying it, grouting is carried out using fine sandpaper.
• At the final stage, the surface is ground in two layers, applying the second after complete drying of the first.
• Then the entire surface is putty. Under painting it needs to be done necessarily, under the wallpaper - it is very desirable, but before gluing tiles or decorative stone Spaklyka is not required.

Prices for alignment

To make a decision about doing work yourself or contact the craftsmen, it is useful to get acquainted with the prices for alignment from professionals.

The average cost per square meter. M.:

• Plaster without lighthouses - 350 rubles. in Moscow, 250-300 rubles. in St. Petersburg.
• Plaster for lighthouses - 450 rubles. in the capital, 420 rubles. in St. Petersburg
• Plaster for beacons mechanized by the method - 250 rubles. In Moscow, 200 in St. Petersburg.

• Alignment of plasterboard with frame 1 layer / in 2 layers - 360/450 rub. in Moscow, 300/250 rubles. In the northern capital.

Note! The price does not include related work - primer, putty, embedding joints of GCL and other services. As a rule, they are all considered and paid separately.

In the houses of the old Soviet construction of a wall with special levens, unfortunately, not always differ. In most cases, their surface is covered with grumps and yams, has cracks or chips. At the same time, their plane itself often often significantly departs from the vertical or horizontal. Of course, the premises look at the walls is not too attractive. Before salaling with wallpaper, staining or, for example, before decorative decorative plaster, the surface of the enclosing structures in such apartments has to be adjusted. How to level the walls? The answer to this question, of course, would like to know many homeowners. Correction of surfaces with defects can be using different materials.

Two main techniques

Align the walls in the room in our time you can two main ways:

• dry;
• raw.

In the first case, alignment of the walls under the wallpaper or decorative plaster Most often performed with drywall. Also, dry correction technology may imply the use of plywood, lining or PVC plates. With crude alignment techniques, usually used different types Plasters.

What are the types of mixtures

Such materials for alignment of walls are supplied to the market usually in dry bags. Before use, they must be brewed with water, in an amount determined by the instructions for use. Plastering can be used for wall alignment:

• gypsum;
• cement;
• clay;
• acrylic;
• silicate.

Advantages and disadvantages of gypsum compositions

The initial mass of this type of materials is a very fine powdery dry mixture. The answer to the question of how to level the walls in the apartment, the gypsum plaster is very good. Its, among other things, includes various kinds of plasticizers. And therefore she lies on the walls, it is very smooth.

Using such plaster, concrete walls or bricks can be aligned. Similar mixtures are not used mainly only in very wet rooms - saunas, bathrooms, pools, etc. It is also not allowed to use gypsum to align the facades of buildings.

The main advantages of the plasterers of this type are considered:

• high degree of elasticity;
• excellent adhesion with treated surface.

Also, its small texture also belongs to the pluses of plaster plaster. Alignment of walls under the wallpaper using such mixtures has the advantage that at the final stage in this case it is not necessary to apply the finish putty. Another unconditional advantage of such plasters is rapid maturation. It is possible to start the plaster mixture with the plaster mixture, if necessary.

The disadvantages of the compositions of this species are primarily their high cost. Alignment of walls gypsum plaster It is usually quite expensive. The means of this variety are approximately one and a half - two times more expensive cement. Also, the minus mixtures of this type include a very short period of vitality. Use the prepared gypsum mixture is needed on average for 45 minutes. Of course, such short term "Life" makes work with the plaster of this species not particularly comfortable.

The best brands of gypsum blends

Of course, when choosing plastering this variety, like any other, first of all, it is worth paying attention to the manufacturer's brand. Our most popular plaster mixtures in our country are:

1. "Best". Plastering of this brand can keep vitality up to 90 minutes. It is about 250-300 rubles. per bag.
2. "Knauf". This manufacturer delivers a very high-quality gypsum mixture "Rotband" to the Russian market. There is a bag of such plaster order 400 rubles. Alignment of the walls "Rotband" - the procedure is not particularly complicated. Viability This mixture can save for one and a half hours. In addition, it is characterized by a high degree of plasticity.
3. "Unice". Such mixtures after cooking should be generated for 50 minutes. They are about 300 rubles. per bag.

Pros and cons of cement compositions

It is such a material most often serves as a response to the question of whether to level the walls inside or outside the room. Two main varieties of such plasters come to the market today. For leveling of surfaces, both a cement-lime mixture can be used and cement-sand.

On the walls both of these types of plaster lay no worse than gypsum. It is worth a cement leveling mixture much cheaper. It is the best answer to such plaster and the question of how to level the walls in the bathroom. For wet premises, it is just fine.

The only thing that cement plaster loses plaster is not too smooth texture. After using such a mixture, it is usually necessary to apply the finishing material. Another disadvantage of cement plaster in comparison with plaster is a long time of maturation. K. final finish Walls aligned with its use can only after about a month.

The best manufacturers of cement mixtures

The compositions of this type, as well as plaster, many companies supply to the domestic market. But the most popular in our country are plastering:

• cement-limestrone "Best Starell-21";
• cement-limestone polimin sew 1;
• cement-sand "Old TT".

A mixture of "Starvelle" can be used to align the walls not only indoors, but also outside. Such plaster is about $ 5.9 per bag weighing 25 kg. POLIMIN SCH 1 mixtures are allowed to use only indoors. The permissible maximum thickness of the leveling layer when using both of these types of plaster is 20 mm. The price of mixtures of polimin sew 1 is approximately $ 3.6.

The "Old TT" compositions are allowed to be used to align the walls indoors and facades. It can be applied to the surface to 3 cm. There is such plaster about 9 dollars for 25 kg.

How to level the walls outside: acrylic compositions

The facades of buildings are thus most often leveled with cement plaster. However, acrylic mixtures are used for this purpose. Such materials are more expensive, but at the same time they give a much longer leveling layer. This finishing composition is made on the basis of aqueous solution acrylic. The main advantages of plastecrops of this type are:

• elasticity;
• good degree of heat and sound insulation;
• frost resistance;
• easily use.

The shortcomings of the plasters of this species, as well as plaster, include a small amount of vitality. Also, such a mixture deserved not too good feedback consumers and for not a particularly high degree of vapor permeability. Covered by plaster this type of wall, unfortunately, simply cease to "breathe". Referring to minuses of mixtures of such a variety and the fact that after drying they can accumulate static tension and attract the garbage to themselves.

The best brands of acrylic mixtures

The most popular manufacturers of such plasters in Russia, as well as plaster, are "basic", "Old Town" and "Knauf". Also often for leveling of facades are used by the plasters of the brand "Cerezit". Such mixtures are supplied to the market usually already in the finished form. It is not necessary to breed them with water. It is convenient to work with them, but also plastering this type is more expensive than plaster and cement. Therefore, they are usually used only for the correction of walls that have only minor defects.

Advantages and disadvantages of silicate mixtures

Alignment of walls under painting or any other kind decorative finish Using such a material can be made both outside and inside the room. But most often silicate plaster, as well as acrylic, is still used to finish the facades. Materials based on silicone resin are manufactured. Also, their composition includes liquid potassium glass, a hydrophobic agent and mineral aggregates. Like acrylic, the silicate plaster is expensive. And it is used, respectively, only for alignment of walls that have minor defects or as an finishing finish after a cement-sand mixture.

The advantages of silicate plasters are primarily attributed:

• elasticity and good adhesive properties;
• high degree of strength;
• resistance to different kind of atmospheric influences.

The main disadvantage of such mixtures is a small amount of vitality.

Raw Alignment Technology: Main features

Acrylic and silicate plasters, thus, in most cases are applied to the walls with a thin layer along the usual technology - a spatula or by a sprayer. Cement and gypsum mixtures are superimposed on the surface usually with a thick layer. Therefore, when working with them, it is used, among other things, and special guides - beacons. The use of such additions allows you to get the most smooth surfaces. Works are performed in this case in several stages:

1. First, the old plaster layer is removed from the wall (if necessary).
2. The surface is ground. Depending on which type of plaster is supposed to be used in the future, a means based on plaster or cement applies to surface treatment.
3. Instant beacons are installed. For alignment of walls, a special profile is usually used, which can be purchased in any construction hypermarket. The beams on the wall on the cement or gypsum solution are mounted. The distance between them should be slightly less than the length of the rule.
4. Between the beacons, the plaster itself is stacked. It can be processed with a solution with a solution, both manually and, for example, using a sprayer.
5. The mixture is thoroughly aligned with the rule.

After drying the composition from the wall beacons are removed. For alignment of the walls (sealing the grooves remaining after the profile), some more plaster or cement plaster are divorced. At the final stage, the surface is treated with a painting grater and is covered with a thin layer of fine-fucked mixture.

Finish putty: varieties

The compositions of this type can be:

• cement (based on very fine sand or lime);
• plaster;
• silicate;
• acrylic.

For wet premises and facades, cement plasters, acrylic or silicate can be selected depending on the budget. Gypsum is usually used to finish the rooms from the inside. Also in some cases, cement can also be applied for this purpose. The putty of this variety is applied on top of plastering often using a special reinforcing painting mesh.

Plasterboard

Plasters are definitely just an excellent answer to the question of how to level the walls. However, such agents can be used, unfortunately, mainly only to remove holes and bugs from the surface. More serious defects in the form of deviation from the plane through the crude techniques, it is difficult to correct, and sometimes it is impossible at all. After all, the plaster formulations on the surface is allowed only not too thick layer.

Some disadvantage of raw technology is that with its use can be performed mainly only concrete walls or bricks. For wood, such materials are usually not used.

To eliminate serious wall defects, as well as to align the brushed or chopped surfaces, the raw technique is thus not suitable. In this case, another method of correction is usually applied - dry. Walls with such technology are simply trimmed by a frame with some sheet material. Types of finishes in this case can be used different. But most often for this purpose still applies drywall.

Actually, two main varieties can be used for the correction of walls:

• ordinary;
• moisture-resistant.

The second type of GLC differs from the first first of all in color. Moisture-resistant sheets have a greenish tint. They, for example, are an excellent answer to the question of how to level the walls in the bathroom. Manufactured by industry in our time and refractory Glk. Sheets of this species can withstand not only very high temperatures, but even open fire (within an hour). It is worth such plasterboard very expensive, and therefore use it mainly only for aligning surfaces of furnaces and fireplaces.

The best brands of drywall

The leading manufacturers of GLCs in Russia are considered:

• Lafarge.
• Rigips.
• Giproc.

Quality All these brands of drywall are not bad. But the largest popularity in our country is still the sheets of "Knauf". This company supplies three main varieties of GKL to the domestic market:

• 12.5 mm wall thickness;
• ceiling - 9.5 mm;
• arched - 6.5 mm.

If desired, today you can purchase both the usual sheets of this manufacturer of 2500 x 1200 mm and non-standard. The latter width can be 600-1500 mm, length - 1500-4000 mm, and thickness - 6.5-24 mm.

Technology of trim plasterboard

Some special preparation of walls when using GCC is not required. Surfaces in this case are usually simply cleaned of dirt and dust. Next, a special aluminum or steel profile is mounted on the wall using the level. Actually, the plasterboard itself is attached to it using a dowel of a special design with plastic wide heads. The sheets of GLCs are recorded in the process of installation so that there are no cruciform seams between them.

At the final stage, the drywall surface can or wallpaper, or to be treated with a thin layer of plaster. Of course, it is often used to finish GLC and finish putty.

Lining, plywood and plastic panels

Such materials are also used usually at large deviations of surfaces from the horizontal or vertical. In addition, such a finish can be used and then when the walls need not only to align, but also inspire.

In the latter case, a timber is usually used to assemble the frame for the material. It can be mounted on the wall as vertically and horizontally. Actually, for insulation between the bars of the frame, plates are installed in the future mineral Wat or polystyrene foam. Then the vapor barrier film is turned on top, and the aligning material itself is installed on top of it.

For reading required ~ 4 minutes

Recently, people have become much more carefully approach to the issue of repair. Smooth walls are a prerequisite, without which the repair can not be done high quality. Even in the aerated concrete new buildings, the walls are not quite even, not to mention the old shrushchev, so repair before finishing the walls is necessary. In order not to overpay to the masters, many people make a decision to equalize the walls with their own hands.

About what is needed to align the walls and how to implement it, it is described in this article.

Ways alignment methods

Methods of alignment of walls in an apartment or house:

• wet, involves the use of several mixtures;
• dry, arrangement of plasterboard designs.

Wet alignment of plaster. This method is used when there are small defects (drops of no more than 50 mm) walls small Square. If desired, the wall can also be adjusted in the room of a large area, with strong drops. However, this will entail large financial and temporary costs. The big plus of wet alignment lies in the fact that the area of \u200b\u200bthe room does not decrease at all. The disadvantage can be attributed to the formation of a large number of dirt and dust during work. Although it may not hinder if you do overhaul - Putting the tile, install partitions, dismantle the doorways, etc.

Dry alignment of plasterboard. Unlike the previous method, this allows you to eliminate large surface irregularities. The main advantage is the ability to not prepare the wall before installing the plasterboard frame and the sheat sheets. It is desirable that there are no sprinkling sites. Support of the support structure can be filled with noise insulating or heat insulating materials. Also here is easy to hide various kinds of communication. Along with smooth walls, we get a little reduced space. You can find 2 types of drywall: simple gray And moisture-resistant green.

Wall shockting

First of all prepare the surface. Here is a sequence of actions:

1. Remove old finish, especially what is already well held.
2. All cracks in the wall expand, after which the degree of irregularities is estimated. Further, large and distinguished indents are removed by the hammer and other suitable tools.
3. If there is an old plaster on the wall, it is necessary to estimate its condition. To do this, knock on it if the deaf sound is heard, it means there is emptiness that inevitably leads to the collapse.
4. All large depressions are adjusted separately. The too thick layer can fall apart, so small defects are closed with a solution, and large protrusions are simply knocked down.
5. If you are going to separate the walls of paint, then without a special coating it will go slices. To avoid this, apply primer - concrete contact. It will make the surface rough. In this case, the putty will "hold" the paint well and will not fall off.
6. For even more chain fastening of materials used notches (100 pieces per 1m 2). Previously, the ax was used for this, now - Bulgarian.

Primer can be both ready and requiring breeding. In any case, it is necessary.

Installation of railway guide

What to get a flat surface from the wall curve, use specially intended for this lighthouses. This is a profile that is installed in parallel with the wall, and the beacon will perform the function of the direction of plaster in unfilled places, removing the emptiness. Basically, the profile is chosen by T-shaped from steel with zinc coating, but some use bars as guides.

Mounting metal lighthouse lighter and more comfortable than bar. The layer of plaster will be approximately 7 mm. The disadvantage of this method is additional financial costs. Although the amount and small. The plaster is terribly bonded with the metal, so at the end of drying the rake-beacons are pulled out, and the holes are closed.

Wooden rails though have a smaller cost, but the bar is more complicated. From moisture there is a warming of wood, and the layer does not turn out. Some people in replacement of standard beacons use a special mixture. First apply plaster strips on the wall, and aligned in terms of level. When they are dried, they are already used as lighthouses. The most economical method, but also the most time-consuming.

Installation is carried out in this way: several lumps from plaster are thrown onto the wall. The bar or profile is applied to them. Level levels, you can use a plumb. After pouring the pellets continue work. The distance m / d lighthouses orient the rule (must be available).

We start plastering

The solution is prepared according to the manufacturer's instructions, after which it is thrown onto the wall. From the tools you will need a spatula or molar bucket. After the composition is applied to the wall, your following actions are:

1. Starting should be started from the bottom point between the beacons, covering part of the wall.
2. The rule is installed on the bottom point of beacons. Plaster moves up, leaning on them. The mixture is superimposed by light siding traffic rules on the parties.
3. It is necessary to stucify to the maximum smooth state of the solution.
4. The spatula we remove the mixture and throw it onto the wall.
5. We carry out this work to the ceiling itself. Having finished laying out one strip of beacons, go to laying the following. Do it with every square meteruntil the surface of the whole wall is aligned.

The primary part of the work is over, but it will still have to align. Because visual defects are still noticeable. Complete finally will help the liquid composition of putty, but about this talk later.

Alignment of walls of plasterboard

This option is a good alternative to working with plaster, because it is faster and more practical. The result also wins - the walls are obtained as smooth as possible. With this technology, repair can be finished earlier than messing with plaster. At the exit, we will get a roughing of the room. In the process it can be decorated with any decorative elements, Leave the wall to painting or blew the wallpaper. We will analyze all the stages how to align the concrete wall, brick with drywall.

We make markup

Like a wet method of alignment, dry also starts with marking, but now under the frame. It consists of several horizontal profiles in different places. Marking is very important, as it determines the situation of the future plasterboard Wall. The following is a sequence of its execution.

First, on the ceiling, we carry out the wall line (which will be in the future) using a painting cord or long level. Exactly the same note on the floor right under it. Make it will help the plumb (any weighty item on the thread): Mark on the floor 2 points, connect, tick the line.

Secondly, we make marking on the walls with the help of a painting cord.

That's all, do it will not be difficult. The main thing to consider 2 important parameters:

• the gap between the wall and the frame should be sufficient for communications or gasket, but should not be very big to do not blame the room strongly;
• it is necessary to achieve visual alignment of the walls. What it is? The angle between the walls and floor, the ceiling is 90 degrees, that is, all the adjoints must be almost perfect.

To check how perfect room angles turned out, measure the diagonal. If they are equal, then everything is fine.

Mount the profile

The frame for Mr. is performed by metal profiles. Most often give preference to the profile ceiling and profile guide. They are used to manufacture a ceiling frame. The advantage of these types of profiles is the slight loss of the area of \u200b\u200bthe room due to their geometric parameters.

Starts mounting from the assembly of Mon. For convenience, it is installed first on the ceiling, and then on the walls, adhering to markup. It is attached with dowel nails in a step of 50 to 60 cm.

Next, perform marking for vertical racks. They are installed in a step of ~ 60 cm. To the wall be more rigid, this value can be reduced to 40 cm. M / d racks The distance should be a value of a multiple width of the drywall sheet.

The next step is fixing our suspensions with a step of about 55 cm. It will give the stiffness of the structure.

Go to PP. Cut it to the desired length and insert np into the cavity. After that, we establish a vertical rack on our markup and fix for direct suspensions using self-tapping screws.

In places where we are planned to be built into the wall, the sweaty items (TV, etc.), set the seal or additional racks.

Laying of drywall on the frame

In most cases, Mr. 11 mm thick is used. For dry places, such as a living room, a bedroom or an entrance hall can be safely used. normal Mr. Gray. If you do the wall repair in the room with high humidity (for example, in the kitchen), then moisture-proof Mr. Green is simply indispensable.

For high ceilkov (more than 2.5 m) acquires GLC ~ 3 m.

Sheets are cut to the desired size, applied to the finished frame and fixed by self-draws. The fixation step in this case is 15-20 cm. To make it easier to work, you can draw profile lines to the GCL. This will help to fix Mr. It is on the desired profile.

When working with a sheet, follow the hats of self-press. It must be completely "tumping" into it. However, the emission of cardboard on the surface is undesirable.

Finish finish - Wall Splot

Now you know everything about how to straighten the walls in the apartment. It remains to learn about the final stage of this process. The putty of the walls will help make the surface as smooth as possible. It is advisable to do it immediately after aligning with plaster or plasterboard. There are 3 main types of mixture to perform finishing putty. Before you buy, select the appropriate, based on the characteristics set out:

1. Cement. It has good resistance to moisture and an acceptable price. Over time, crack appear.
2. Gypsum. Smooth surface, no shrinkage. You can apply a thick layer, dries quickly. Unstable to water.
3. Polymer. Well settled, the solution is "long-playing". Smoothness after the first application. High price. Comfortably work at normal humidity.

Tools for shtcloth and some features of this work

Below is a complete list of tools and consumables that may be needed.

• spatula with a width of up to 50 cm;
• spatula with a width of up to 17 cm;
• putty;
• vessel in the form of a rectangle for a mixture;
• cloth, sponge;
• water sprayer;
• respirator;
• source of good lighting;
• pEMZA, STABLE;
• drill;
• wide brush.

The finishing putty differs from the starting fact that the consistency of the solution first must be more viscous and dense.

If you need a thick layer of putty, apply it to several steps to avoid swelling and peeling.

After laying, you can anoint the walls with varnish or oil paint.

At the final stages, use the respirator so as not to damage the mucous eye or the respiratory tract of dust.

Technology of applying shplankeeper

1. We fall asleep 5-7 kg of dry matter and gradually add water, constantly stirring the solution. The consistency should get sour cream.
2. Little spatula pick up a little composition and carry it on a wide spatula. Apply smooth movements diagonally (so it turns out evenly). The second time we try to distribute evenly.
3. We approach the other hand and do the same work.
4. Usually 2 layers of putty are required on the wall. Between the first and second application, there should be about 12 hours. During this time, the mixture will dry up. But do not let her dry completely, because it will be much more difficult to apply.
5. The maximum layer in the corners is 5 mm, in the middle - 1-2 mm.

Now you have knowledge about how to lift the walls in the apartment. To have a more complete picture of this process, we recommend reading photos and videos on this topic.

There are many ways to finish the walls, but most of them require a smooth and direct basis, but in reality everything is not so smooth. Walls modern houses And especially buildings old buildings Only seem smooth, but are not suitable for cladding with tiles, laminate or panels, because they have an invisible reference to horizontally or vertical. In this article we will tell how to solve the walls under finish finish any materials.

Any repairs begins with the preparation, and the alignment of the walls is no exception. In this case, first of all it is necessary to determine the degree of surface irregularities to know, the better to level the walls and how many materials need.

How to determine the degree of curvature of the wall:

1. Arm yourself with a long construction rule in 2-2.5 m long. In the corner of the room closer to the ceiling, learn the nail, leaving the hat to hang on 2-3 mm (so that the lace can be born behind the nail). This nail is your starting lighthouse.
2. Tie a nut or any other shipwheel to the lace or a strong thread and hang out the nail so that the load does not touch the floor. Wait for him to stop swing, and the thread formed a straight line.
3. Watch the second Lighthouse Nail at the bottom of the wall and tear it exactly so that the hat and the thread are on the same level.
4. Repeat this procedure with another angle on the opposite wall. As a result, you will receive 4 lighthouse around the perimeter and 2 level lines, respectively.
5. Take a long thread or cord and pull it between the upper nail of one part of the wall and the bottom - the other (diagonally). Repeat with the second pair of lighthouses. When you fasten the threads crosswise, make sure that they do not touch the wall surface.
6. Now with the help of these threads stretched in four points, you can determine which state is any wall in the room.

Selecting the method of alignment

Leveling dry mixtures

Align the walls with plaster, as practice shows, is the most universal option, relevant for any finishing material, be it wallpaper or tile. Despite the high labor intensity of work with the mixtures, you get a better and durable result.

How to align walls with putty:

Useful advice: When choosing a dry mix, pay attention to the layer thickness, as well as on the nature of the binding component. For example, gypsum solutions are recommended to take for rooms with a low or normal degree of humidity, because in the kitchen or in the bathroom such walls quickly mock and crack. For wet rooms, choose a mineral mixture mixtures. Cement plaster can be prepared with their own hands, mixing 1 part of the cement of the brand not lower than 400 with 6 parts of the sifted fine sand and dilute all the water to the sour cream-like state. You can vary the amount of sand to get a different plasticity of the solution - the smaller the sand, the more plastic solution, and it is easier to work with it (but the cement will then need more, which means that the costs for repair increase). Attention! It is necessary to use the finished solution for 1-2 hours, otherwise it will freeze or loses its properties, so do not mix large volumes at once.

Alignment of plasterboard

Align the walls with plasterboard is much easier than dry construction mixtures. This work is much cleaner, faster and more suitable for newcomers. The wide range of GLC allows you to work in almost any rooms, even with high levels of humidity. In addition, plasterboard allows you to level the walls with strong drops in height and horizontal, which would need to apply the too thick layer of plaster. And at least such a way is relevant for finishing with wallpaper or paint, in some cases this is the only way to get smooth and smooth walls.

There are two ways to install GLCs for wall alignment: on the frame and glue. The first method is suitable for surfaces with serious drops and helps to align wooden walls, the second can hide minor surface defects and get the perfectly level base for the finish. It is also permissible to combine these two options to achieve neat wall docking and ceiling. The frame method is most common, so we will look at it first and in all details.

For the manufacture of a frame apply a special metal profile under GLC. Fixation is carried out by means of screws and screws. Before telling the instructions, how to level the walls under the wallpaper or tile should be mentioned about one nuance of the framework method - due to the high thickness of the resulting skin, several centimeters of the useful area of \u200b\u200bthe walls are taken from each side (about 4-5 cm). And if it can be unnoticed in a spacious room, then for small rooms it is better to use another way.

Instructions and videos how to align the walls:

1. Remove the old coating from the walls and clean the surface.
2. In this case, the priming is not necessary to increase adhesion, but to strengthen and protect walls from moisture and fungus. If you are trimming outdoor wall Or a wall in a wet room, treat it with an antiseptic.
3. Build a galvanized profile frame by mounting the first UD profile by floor, ceiling and adjacent walls to get a frame. Then, inside this frame, jumpers from a thinnest CD profile can be fixed, which will hold dry couplings. In more detail, all the subtleties of the fastening process are described in the article "".
4. When the frame is ready, you can proceed to the installation of GLC, but before that you need to measure them, spread and numb them so that they fit into the specified area. GLK is convenient because it is easy to process at home by prudent tools. In the article "" is described in detail.
5. To close the seams between the plasterboard sheets, use a special self-keeper grid. Stick it on the seams, and then cover the starting putty to take one level with the surface. Subsequent processing of the wall depends on the selected cladding. If you put the tile or other dense not translucent material, you can simply shut out the joints with putty and that's it. But before painting or sticking wallpapers, the wall should be fully covered with a white finishing putty layer in 1-2 mm, stabbing and primed. The article "" has been said a lot of useful on this topic.

Now you know than you can align the walls under the tile, wallpaper or any other finish. We hope this article will help you quickly and efficiently make repairs with your own hands. Finally, we suggest familiarizing yourself with another useful videoHow to align the walls with plasterboard:
