All about gypsum cardboard

Still ten years ago we did not know some gypsum cardboard. At furnish of a premise of elegance and expressiveness achieved by means of old kind plaster and plaster. And now designers, architects, builders only are surprised: how they could manage without it? After all gypsum cardboard inspires on creation multilevel labirintoobraznyih ceilings with illumination, curvilinear partitions with numerous niches, shelves and figured apertures. It gives multi-variant approach of interiors and high architectural expressiveness of premises.

>Gypsum cardboard is a composit material in the form of the sheets, which length of 2,5-4,8 m, width of 1,2-1,3 m and a thickness of 8-24 mm. The basis of such sheet is made by plaster, and outside planes are revetted by a cardboard. For achievement of necessary indicators of the plaster core characterising its durability, the density etc., in it is added by the special components raising him service properties. The cardboard executes a role both a reinforcing skeleton, and a fine basis for drawing of any material for processing (plaster, wall-paper, a paint, a ceramic tile). So that the material simultaneously flexible and firm is received. At the Russian builders of the greatest popularity uses production of German firm TIGI KNAUF.

On the physical and hygienic properties gypsum cardboard ideally approaches for premises, and that is why. It is ecologically pure, does not contain toxic components and does not render harmful effect on environment that hygienic and radiating certificates confirm. It - energosberegayuschiy a material having also good sound-proof properties. Nonflammable and fire-resistant. It is necessary to notice still, that gypsum cardboard "breathes", that is absorbs a moisture at its surplus in air and gives it, if air too dry. This very important, it is possible to tell invaluable qualities of the material applied indoors. With such walls to us it is easier breathed. Plus - it has the acidity similar to acidity of a human skin. The last two properties allow gypsum cardboard to regulate a microclimate of premises natural by and largely to promote creation of harmonious atmosphere.

Each of the transferred properties can be strengthened, if it is necessary to intend gipsokartonnyiy sheet for definite purposes. Accordingly the industry manufactures except standard gipsokartonnyih sheets (GKL) fire-resistant (GKLO), and waterproof (GKLV). The substances destroying fungi are entered Into the last, they are applied to furnish of kitchens, bathrooms and bathrooms. Fire-resistant apply to any furnish of air lines and communication mines. And is still so-called pazogrebnevyie plates in which plaster is subjected to roasting. Their durability so increases, that it is possible to use as interroom partitions, without any preparation to paint, paste over with wall-paper or to revet with a ceramic tile. Such partitions happen one - two-and three-layer. Last are applicable in seismically dangerous areas, for inhabited, civil and industrial buildings of all degrees of fire resistance. In their cavities it is possible to lay electric and telephone cables, systems pyileudaleniya, heating and water communications.

Experts love this material also for magnificent running characteristics. It has small weight. At its use the inconvenient "wet" processes creating on object not comfortable conditions are excluded, labour efficiency so, time and nerves of the customer are saved considerably increases. Conducting in apartment or office repair, you will avoid building dust and a dirt.

Generally gypsum cardboard is invented not today, in the form of flat sheets it is applied for a long time to internal furnish and alignment of walls, sometimes it name "dry plaster". It is a question of new technology of its use. When the fashion included European-quality repair with its increased requirements to geometry of premises and quality of surfaces, there was a rebirth of this material. Architects have found out, that sheets can give, at will, any form. Dome covers, columns, arches of all kinds, the most complicated transitions from one plane to other, curvilinear surfaces - all is elements of gypsum cardboard. The system of the metal skeletons typed from standard profiles of factory manufacturing, is developed so that it was possible to create walls of any difficult form. There was a new method of "dry building" where is not present to you either "crude" plaster, or obligatory wall-paper.

All fastens simply enough. At facing of walls in one layer gipsokartonnyim the sheet applies assembly glue on a plaster basis. And when sheets GKL gather on skeletons they fasten screws. Before covering with them concrete walls, them humidify, cautiously bend and fix, will not dry out yet and will accept the necessary form. Beat to a wall concrete nails (dyubelyami) a skeleton from wooden boards or reek, previously precisely having counted its sizes. Thus between sheet and a wall there is an empty space approximately in 2-2,5 sm that creates an additional thermal protection. In a ceiling at furnish by gypsum cardboard drill apertures, wooden stoppers are driven in into them and beaten reyki to similarly wall skeleton. Sheets beat so that between them there was a space in 4-5 mm for the subsequent furnish of seams.

This technology simple, also not licensed teams of builders possess it even. They will undertake, and will erect everything, everything "hosh on wooden, hosh on a metal skeleton". But, planning repair, consider the following. The basic cunning at work with this material consists in definitive furnish. The more difficult the design, the is more difficult to achieve accuracy of interface of all sides. Ideally equal joints become after laborious work shtukatura which will manage to correct position and to give to surfaces the necessary geometry.

But here all is fixed, joined and zashtukatureno. There is a question: whether something is possible on such wall or a partition to hang up? It is possible, but only not by means of a nail. Only dyubeli, and their sizes get out depending on a thickness of facing and consignment weight. For example, on false ceilings from GKL it is possible to suspend the consignments which weight does not exceed 6 kg on 1 square metre by means of special unclenched plastic dyubeley.

Popularity of gypsum cardboard, as they say, cannot be overestimated. Concepts "modern materials" - "European-quality repair" - "gypsum cardboard" are almost identical. It grants unlimited possibilities for an embodiment during a life of the most original projects and the workings out including regiments, racks for a minibar, partitions, racks… Thanks to such new materials, professionals are capable to give to your housing accommodation the individual person is unique.
