Conceptual drawing of a cabinet made of plasterboard.
By drawing up a drawing, you can use ready-made models from various directories or develop your own option.
The main thing is to take into account all the details: the location of the rod, shape, size and amount of shelves, as well as the distance between them, the presence of lockers and T d.
- Transfer the resulting drawing on the wall to prevent the occurrence of shortcomings in the design. Do not forget also about the thickness of the shelves, which will eliminate all inconsistencies during the installation of the product. When applying horizontal labels, use a construction level, and vertical - plumb.
- Based on the drawing, make a list of product details, as well as accessories. Remember that some details will need in two copies, even though they can be seen in one (roof fixing plates, floor base).
- Prepare the surface to which the cabinet frame will be attached. Drive old wallpapers, if necessary, clean the walls.

Ready frame for the cabinet.
It is possible to make a carcass for drywall, both wooden rails and metal profiles (in the photo above). Choosing a tree, pay attention to a number of nuances. First, bars should be absolutely dry and high-quality, because the frame is the basis of the future design. Otherwise, the design of the cabinet is deformed with time.
Secondly, the wooden structure is more difficult to collect, it has a greater weight and can take more space.
Metal profiles for drywall are more convenient in operation and get rid of you from a number of trouble. However, they are less durable. Therefore, at this stage, you should decide on what objects you will fill the closet, and how much load will be on the framework.
The construction assembly provides the following steps:
- The framework details are fasten with each other through the outlined lines using self-tapping screws, dowels or screws. We start working from installing guide profiles on the wall, gender and stream. The step between them should be calculated on the basis of the size of the future cabinet. The more dimensions, the smaller the distance for the step should be provided.
- Mount the suspensions based on the cabinet parameters. Strengthen the vertical rack profiles by inserting them into the guide-carbon guide profile.
Frame from guide and vertical rack profiles.
- Additional stiffness of the structure is horizontal elements that act in our case also in the role of shelves and boxes.
Therefore, it is important to consider not only designer preferences, but also use partitions to enhance the design. In places involving high loads, strengthen the frame with the help of transverse regimes.
