The most common way to install GKL is the fastening of the material on the metal frame. Depending on the complexity of the structure of the box and weight of the sheets of HCLs, various fasteners are used. The production of suspensions for drywall is constantly improving, manufacturers are trying to simplify the installation of the inner cladding as much as possible.
What materials and components are necessary for the installation of GLC and what are their fundamental differences.

Accessories for installing the frame of the interior of the premises
Installation step is standardly accepted in sixty centimeters.
Installation is greatly simplified if you immediately acquire all the necessary materials and components. On our site you can see detailed photos and video materials with step-by-step instructions for installing metal crate on the ceiling and walls.
To spend work in a short time, qualitatively and professionally need the following materials for the installation of the crate:
- Guides and bearing metal profiles;
- Self-tapping screw and dowel;
- Fasteners.
Important. To install drywall, installation instructions recommends using only galvanized metal elements.
This is due to the fact that it is not galvanized metal rust, and the rust can in the process of exposing to sharpen on the finish.
For the purpose of saving, you can make the fastening and from the remnants of the profile, as can be seen in the photo, but only professionals can do
It is also desirable to immediately prepare all the necessary tools:
- Water level and plumb;
- Painting a painting thread to beat the level of the crate;
- Screwdriver and drill;
- Metal cutting hacksaw;
- Roulette and centimeter.
When going to perform the installation of the crates with your own hands, we'll figure it out that we need to fix it to the walls and the ceiling.

Everything you need to install a metal frame for plasterboard
The main function of these components is as follows. Plasterboard plates are rarely mounted directly on the wall or ceiling with a glue composition. Instructions for installing wiring and other engineering communications require free space between the surface and sheets of facing.
The production of drywall suspensions and their use provides a useful gap between the facing and the surface for the placement of communications and ventilation. They are attached to the ceiling or wall and support the carrier metal profile for drywall, to which a sheet of plasterboard is mounted.
Installing a profile on the wall
In the device of multi-level drywall ceiling structures, it is often necessary to significantly lower the design of the crate. In this case, sliding components are used that allow you to omit the level of the crate to one meter.
Consider the design of the crate and its mounting to the surface in more detail.

Direct suspensions
A frequently used option for the arrangement of the crate, the installation of which is not particularly difficult. A straight suspension for drywall is used when installing a metal frame for drywall on the walls, floors and ceilings from any material - concrete, stone or brick.
The design of the direct P-shaped element allows you to reduce the time of work. The price of the material in different regions of our country fluctuates, on average, from three to four rubles per piece. With wholesale purchases, the cost decreases percent for thirty.
Dimensions of direct fasteners for GLC
The photo shows how a simple P-shaped element looks like. In the store, the fasteners are purchased directly, as it is more convenient for transportation and allows you to damage the material during transportation.
Installation to the surface:
An example of the installation of the fastening element on the ceiling
- Mount fasteners with galvanized dowels through the elongated hole , as it shown on the picture.
Important. The hole has an extended shape, as sometimes it is necessary to shift the item to one - two millimeters to align the design.
Also, sometimes the dowel can get into emptiness or cracks between the stoves, then the hole allows you to shift fasteners and reinstall the dowel, not shifting the already displayed crate.
Side Additional Fastening
- Direct suspension for drywall withstands load without deformation up to twenty-five kilograms . Therefore, when installing a simple frame for the ceiling, for example, it is enough to install elements in 60 - 70 centimeters increments;
- When a multi-level ceiling device, the step must be reduced depending on the weight of the plasterboard sheets;
- Also, with a large weight of the design, additional holes are provided on the sides..
Important. When installing the crate on the wooden surface, the instruction provides for a mandatory additional side mount.
This is due to the fact that the tree - the soft material and the frame may vary during operation.
In addition, walls and ceilings made of wood give shrinkage for ten years after building a house.
And the tree has a property to expand and shrink when the humidity and temperature is changed.
Suspensions with clip and craving
Sliding fastening element

These fasteners are used when constructing multi-level ceilings from GLC. Sliding suspension for drywall allows the leaf to a significant distance from the ceiling overlap.
Fasteners equipped with a wire burden. On the one hand, there is a steel clamp for mounting supporting profiles. On the other hand, there is a loop for anchor mounting element to the surface.
Due to the fact that the length of the wire is adjustable, then the crate can be placed at a distance of one meter from the overlap. Standard thrust length - fifty centimeters and one meter.
It is very convenient when equipped with complex plasterboard structures. In addition, this fastener withstands the load in forty kilograms.
Nonius suspensions
Construction of fastening element
This fastener consists of two parts. To the base of the ceiling or wall, the upper part of the suspension is attached, and the other part is designed to fasten the profile. These two parts are connected using screws.
It is very convenient when the device of plasterboard finish is performed with its own hands, without subbands. You can easily and correctly set the framework of the level and adjust the design.
Fastening "crab"
"Crab" to connect profiles
This element is designed to connect the carrier profiles of the metal crate. Additionally strengthens the design and guarantees its durability.
Output
The production of suspensions for drywall is constantly improved. And since the price of these comfortable elements of fasteners is small, then, of course, it is better to mount the frame for installing the sheets of GKC with the help of a variety of suspension designs.
