As a result of the repair, redevelopment of premises is often carried out. Moreover, this can not affect the bearing walls. In order to increase the area of the premises, interior partitions are demolished - they are much thinner and unprinted on a large load. And if it is required to divide the space, the design of drywall is erected.
Operactions from plasterboard
Product specifications
Plasterboard - in essence, layer of gypsum between two layers of dense construction. At first glance, such a material seems too fragile, but in fact, such a "wall" is constructed from a completely durable frame, in which plasterboard sheets serve as a finish.
Plasterboard
The important advantage of the material is the ability to make the doorway from drywall, with any form and any necessary size. It is possible to benefit it, but it is also preferably sliding and naturally, the easiest. Often, they do without them, and the doorway itself is decorated as decorative as possible - for example, with the help of the arch.
The advantage of plasterboard sheets weight:
- Sheets are very light - thickness varies from 0.65 to 1.25 cm, easily allows the most volumetric designs from the material;
- You can purchase GLC in any construction store and any kind - the usual, ceiling, heat-resistant, waterproof;
- Flexibility - GLC can be bend in fairly wide limits. Thus make curvilinear contours;
- Fast installation - speed will not compare with the construction of structures from brick or stone. In addition, it is possible to work with sheets with your own hands, it is only important to comply with step-by-step instructions.
- Material non-combustible and fully safe.
You can make a screen with the doors between the rooms, and make it too wide, and change the form of the existing one.

Plasterboard Wall with Doorway: Mounting Design
The basis of the partition is the steel profile - starting and rack. Its dimensions are determined by the value and, accordingly, weighing the structure. Close up of a frame of plasterboard of the desired type: so, for the separation of the kitchen and the hall will require waterproof material.
Plasterboard partition
Also needed fasteners corresponding to the type of bearing walls.
- First of all, the parameters of both the design itself are found, and actually open in it. As such, there are no restrictions here. But if the door is assumed, its weight must be measured with the weight of the structure.
- Sketch is created. Upon finished scheme, it is much easier to take into account all the features: for example, an increase in the frame around the future door, the construction of additional volumetric elements, if a complex design with columns and semi-columns is supposed.
- According to the project, the number of necessary material is calculated - profiles, finishes and fasteners.
- On the surfaces are marked for the future frame. On the markup, the distance is calculated between the fastener - at least 20 cm, and drill holes in the surfaces.
- Cut the guide profile on the calculated data. It is recommended when installing in an angle only to put the profile and bend to an angle of 90 degrees: the design as a whole will turn out to be more durable.
- According to the scheme in the guide profile, segments are installed. Fix with special self-drawing.
- The finished partition is separated by plasterboard. If necessary, the space between sheets is sealed with insulation and a soundproofer - mineral wool, for example, or foam sheets.
On the video process, the installation of the interior partition is illuminated in detail.
Doorway from drywall
Sometimes it is necessary not to build a new interroom wall, but only to reduce or modify the existing doorway.
Doorway from drywall
For this, the GLC is also more than suitable, the scheme of action is similar, but the volume of work is noticeably less.
- Determine the dimensions of the future door and make up the scheme. The actual doorway form 2 rack profiles and horizontal crossbar. However, depending on how much the initial dimensions need to be reduced, additional racks may also be needed.
- Place the surface and drill holes under fasteners.
- Following the step-by-step instructions, the guide profile is fixed, and then install the racks.
- If you need and reduce the doorway and hang the sash, the design must be strengthened. For this, horizontal jumpers are fixed between racks. Their amount depends on the value of the alleged load.
- Then the finished frame is sealed with soundproofing material and is trimmed with drywall as usual as in the photo.

Arch made of plasterboard in the doorway
This design method allows you to do without doors. However, their main advantage in decorativeness, and not functionality. The arch can have any shape - semicircular, trapezoid, angular, complex curvilinear or asymmetric.
The construction scheme is the same as when installing the ordinary door. However, there are nuances. In most cases, round, semicircular arches are built or with rounded corners, and for this you need to bend profile.
You can do it with your own hands, but you can just order curved profiles on the project.
Alone, the profile is bended, trimming the metal with scissors and bending with a needy. Then the same is done with the drywall. Material is treated with a needle roller: perforation makes sheets are not so hard, then wetted with water - slightly, and bend. Having frowning, GLC takes the desired shape.
