Today, there are plasterboard from several manufacturers in the building materials market, and a plasterboard sheet from the Volga company is one of the attention. Often, questions about building forums arise, what kind of plasterboard is better - a free or Knauf, and to facilitate the process of choice, we will try to characterize this finishing material in the most detail.
Three-meter GLC from TM "VOLMA"
Gyrozi from the company "VOLMA"
Product specifications
Finishing plasterboard, produced by the Corporation "Volma" (Volgograd), in its composition practically does not differ from the drywall of all other brands:
Logo Corporation "VOLMA"
- The basis of plasterboard is made of natural gypsum. Gypsum is initially grinding on special mills, and then undergoing burning at a temperature of about 180-2000C.
- From above and below the plaster plate is covered with a multilayer protective cardboard. The side edges of the cardboard are bend, reliably protecting the edges of the plate from the chipping.
- Depending on the type of material, additional components may include additional components, such as starch, fiberglass, cellulose fiber, hydrophobic impregnations, antifungal compositions, etc.
Standard gypok
According to the information provided by the material manufacturer on the corporate site, the "VOLMA" products are designed for cladding walls, mounting suspended ceilings and interior plasterboard partitions, as well as for the manufacture of other elements of the interior.
Note!
Instructions for installing GLC "VOLMA" recommends using special profiles and fasteners from the same manufacturer.
However, as practice shows, compliance with this recommendation is desirable, but not necessarily.
Hyprop nomenclature
Under the trademark "VOLMA" produced gypsum plates for internal works of several varieties.
The most popular are:
- "VOLMA-LIST" - Standard drywall (GLC) with dimensions of 1200 x 2500 mm. Plate thickness 9.5 and 12.5 mm. This plasterboard is used to cover the walls and ceilings in rooms with normal temperature and humidity, the characteristics of the material correspond to the requirement of GOST. The appearance of the game is shown in the photo.
- "Moisture resistant" - G Clac. Plate dimensions - 1200 x 2500 mm. Thickness 9.5 and 12.5 mm. This type of drop is used to align the walls and ceilings of rooms with high humidity, such as bathrooms, bathrooms, kitchens, etc.
- Also, experts recommend to use moisture-resistant gyroxes when wearing unheated premises - country houses, household buildings, etc.

"Moisture resistant"
- "Three-meter" - Glk with dimensions of 1200 x 3000 mm. Gyros of this type is available on a special order and is used for facing rooms with a large area. The use of large panels allows you to significantly save time to align the walls of the room.
As you can see, the range is quite extensive, although inferior to the variety of borping brands from leading global manufacturers.
As for the quality, it is clear here to answer the question specified at the beginning of our article, "what kind of plasterboard is better - Knauf or a VOLM?" pretty hard. The thing is that the main mass of drywall Knauf, so respected by our masters, is produced in domestic enterprises.
And therefore, talking about the superiority of one brand above the other only on the basis of the placement site will be unreasonable.
Well, and if you analyze the reviews of most masters who had the opportunity to compare both stamps, then the "Volma" is practically not inferior to Knauf in quality. Taking into account the fact that the price of Volgograd products is slightly lower, it can be safely recommended this gyrox for use.
Additional components
In addition to the plasterboard, under the brand "Volma", additional components are also available, designed to facilitate the installation of plasterboard and its subsequent finish:
- Galvanized profile. Used to assemble frameworks for plating walls and ceilings GKL. Unfortunately, the assortment line of profiles is not too diverse, therefore the situation may occur at which the starting or rack profile of another manufacturer will have to buy.
- Glue for plasterboard. It is used when frameless installation of HCL on the walls, provides high-quality adhesion to almost any surface.
- "VOLMA-SHOV" - putty for sealing the junctions between the sheets of GKL. It has a high plasticity, a small shrinkage coefficient, does not contain toxic substances.
Mix for sealing seams
Note!
Putty manufacturers recommend applying it with a sickle ribbon or construction paper tape (also presented in the catalog on the company's website).
- Finish putty. Used for final surface alignment, covered with plasterboard sheets.
It can be used both under painting and under the pasting wallpaper. Differs in high shelterness and good adhesion indicators.

In addition to the above-mentioned mounted drywall "VOLMA", a specially designed fastener from the same company can be applied.
Installation of GLC "VOLMA"
The process of installing hypostic plates from this manufacturer is carried out according to the traditional scheme:
- At first, the old finish is removed from the walls of the room, all the protruding elements (shelves, brackets, hangers, etc.) are dismantled.
- Then, using the level, roulette and measuring cord, we apply marking. Marking is needed, because without it there is a risk of setting the frame at an angle, which adversely affects its strength.
Obsek on the wall
- By marking, we mount a metal galvanized profile on the walls, forming a crate. How can I collect the frame - shown on the video posted on our website.
- To the finished crate we apply the GLC "VOLMA" panels and fix them with self-tapping screws.
- After all panels are fixed, we will expand the seams between them with the help of a painting knife, and then we glue them with a sickle ribbon and close in a specialized putty.
Installation GLC
- After sealing the seams, we process the entire surface of the primer and align with the finish putty. To achieve the best result, use putty mixtures from the same manufacturer.
Plasterboard from the company "VOLMA" is a material that is quite suitable for the fulfillment of the interior decoration with their own hands. Its characteristics are practically not inferior to the properties of GLC from manufacturers with world names, and the available cost makes it very attractive to many masters.
