It is easy to work with drywall, with this will cope with any novice builder. However, there are still some controversial questions about which it is worth learn in advance. For example, metal profiles and attachments used in the working process.
They are not so much, but each performs its function. Let's look at what kind of.
Profile for drywall, as well as HC himself, is used in the construction sphere for a long time and is not going to slow down
Metal profile for plasterboard
The need to use a profile for the construction of walls of plasterboard is associated with its functionality. After all, in fact, the finishing material itself without a frame is only sheets of plaster.
They can not be equalized by the wall, eliminate the unevenness of the ceiling or build a partition, if there is no crates - the bases for fastening the plasterboard.
It would be possible to use wooden bars as a frame, but they have many flaws. For example, they can not be called durable, because the tree rotates with time. Also, they are exposed to moisture - even after processing with protective equipment, the material remains vulnerable.
With a metal profile for drywall, things are different, only the price, which is slightly higher than wooden products can be considered its "disadvantage".
Actually, the picture shows what you will need for construction work.
Metal advantages
- Resistance to all external influences.
- Strength and reliability of the design.
- Durability. Move from sheets galvanized tin thick up to 0.6 mm.
- The possibility of restoration.
Main profile
- This type of product is indicated by the marking of PS or PP.
- It is intended for large loads.
- It is the basis for fastening the plasterboard.
- Externally, they can be discharged on C- or P-shaped edges.

Guide profile
- Indicated by marking Mon.
- Used as a horizontal strip in which vertical racks are inserted.
- This type of profile is the basis of the metal frame for drywall.
- Profile guide
- Ceiling profile
- Fastening profiles for plasterboard
Marking designations
To make it clear, why such labeling are used on products, we describe each kind of detailed.
- Ceiling guide profiles for drywall - PN . As you understand, are used as a component of a frame for fastening the finishing material for the ceiling.

- Ceiling Main Profiles - PP . Also are intended for fastening drywall to the ceiling. Fastened around the perimeter of the room where the suspended ceiling is required.
- Wall rack - ps . Used as vertical racks for indoor walls.
Note.
PS profile can be used by the prefabricated parts, that is, to install segments for saving on the material. It will not affect the final result.
- Wall guide profiles - Mon . Serve the basis for fastening drywall to the walls.
There are two more types that are rarely used, but you may be useful: angular and arched profiles.
As they look, you can look at the photo below.

Varieties of corner profiles that you may need
- Corner profile impose on top of plasterboard sheets . It serves as protection against various mechanical damage.
If you build a ceiling, then the angular element is located around the perimeter of the room, if we build walls or partitions, then it is fixed to the floor and ceiling.
- Arch profile required for radius and any unusual forms that can be made of drywall.
With it, it is created by all sorts of elements on the ceilings and walls, straining uneven angles and arrange the arches in the doorways. It is attached to ordinary self-tapping screws.
Reminder!
It is not desirable to reduce the radius of the bending of less than 500 mm. There is a possibility that the metal will not withstand the voltage and burst.
Method of fastening
The profile is attached using special suspensions that can adjust the distance to the wall, thereby easily align the wave-like walls. For this, first of all, a suspension is installed in the ceiling or wall, after which, the profile is attached to it with the help of self-drawing. The suspensions are better to use 4-5 to a height of 2.5 meters.

The guide profile is enshrined on the floor, the rack is inserted into it, which is fixed by the suspension
Also, do not forget that the guide profile is the basis of the metal frame. For its attachment, dowels and self-tapping screws are used. Drill holes better at a distance of 15-25 cm from each other to securely secure the design.
Note.
In profiles, there are usually harvested holes.

Features profiles
You can exercise all the work with your own hands, for this, it is only necessary to learn some details that will make you understand your understanding of the workflow.
The main thing is not to neglect the useful information that we give you.
- The wide wall of the racks by the profile allows you to easily fix two sheep plasterboard on it. It is only important to prevent one sheet to enter more than half.
Tip!
Try to calculate the location of the vertical racks on the wall so that between them was a 6 cm distance less than half the width of the plasterboard sheet.
- Screws better screwed into the profile closer to the wall so that the mount does not occur directly into the end of the material.
- It is undesirable to bend the self-tapping screws at an angle. Even if it happened so accidentally, unscrew and twist the methomez to another place.
- The screw of the self-press should be recessed by 0.5-1 mm.
- Vertical racks for engineering communications have special holes. However, most often all wires and pipes are passed through drywall, as it is easier to trim under the necessary dimensions.
- If the decoration of the walls of plasterboard is carried out in a country house, then you can use additional sound insulation and thermal insulation materials. The best will fit the windproof film - it is easy to attach.

- Guides and profiles for drywall are acquired in the amount required for work with a small margin.
It is enough 10% of the total, since even the smallest residues (up to 10-15 cm) can be used in the working process.

The above-described instructions for the workflow with a metal profile should help you in any endeavors. Do not be afraid to work with the profile, since it is, in any case, it will not be seen: brought off, incorrectly cut off, made an excessive hole - it is not scary, everything will be finished with finishing materials.
For those who doubt their strength, we specifically prepared a video on this topic. It is also worth seeing novice builders to avoid a large number of errors. Successful repair!
