Plasterboard shelves are becoming more and more popular in the process of implementing a variety of design ideas. The popularity of these interior elements is caused by many qualities. For example, such shelves are perfect for any type of interior of any room. In addition, they are highly practical.
At the first stage of the installation process, markings of the future shelf are applied to the wall. Recommended shelf width should not exceed 2.5 m. As for the depth, the range from 20 to 50 cm is considered to be its optimal value. But if we talk about the depth of the supporting columns, then this characteristic is completely dependent on the design project. The features of the latter may require a greater depth value than was mentioned above.
After marking is completed, it is necessary to begin the installation of load-bearing columns. For this, a profile is necessarily used, which is fixed to the wall with a special fastener. In addition, the resulting structure must be checked for level. In this case, everything should be perfectly even. Using a square, a line is drawn that determines the depth of the column on the surface of the floor and ceiling. A guide profile is mounted along this line. After fixing the guide profiles, you can start mounting the rack, which is inserted into the guide. In this case, screws are used for fixing. The next step foreshadows the screwing of a sheet of drywall, which is already pre-cut.
Sometimes, in the process of making drywall shelves, special attention must be paid to their height. In this case, there are no standard recommendations. Therefore, this parameter is selected individually depending on what will be on the shelf.
There is no doubt that in addition to standard actions, it is also recommended to strengthen the structure. The thing is that drywall is not a durable material. For this purpose, it is possible to install additional columns that will give strength, as well as improve the performance of the shelves. But at the same time, you will have to spend a little more on finishing materials. Although, on the other hand, it is much cheaper than the complete renewal of a broken structure, and besides, in some design projects, it is the additional columns that are the “highlight” of the entire product.
It is very important to strictly adhere to the technology of manufacturing shelves. Practice shows that very often, due to mistakes, you have to do, for example, repair plasterboard ceilings. Photos of such errors clearly demonstrate the results of incorrect installation. But besides the ceiling, you can also damage the wall and floor surface. By the way, to resume the latter is very difficult, especially if it is made of natural materials.
In conclusion, it should be added that the products made of drywall photo are examples of which can be found on the Internet are the main part of the interior of the modern room. Even beautiful furniture will not give the effect that the above products give.
