Toilet in the house plays an important role, as many believe. If it is clean and cozy, you and your guests will be pleased to visit it. Toilets with mold on the walls and rusted pipes have long been a thing of the past. Today there is just a lot of opportunities to make this room more beautiful and attractive.
The toilet passes pipes and other technical communications, which seriously spoil the look and overall impression even from the most beautiful design.
A box for pipes from plasterboard will help to hide in the toilet all the sewage systems that are knocked out of the general picture and wiring. Drywall in the market of building materials has long been a leading place and is in great demand, because with it you can do beautiful and good repair, including in the toilet.
Installation of the gypsum board in the toilet
First of all, you need to decide where the box will be mounted - on the wall or ceiling. Its construction will consist of four consecutive stages: design, installation of metal profile, fastening of GKL, final finishing.
For the works you will need:
- knife for cutting sheets GKL;
- knife-saw;
- disk cutter;
- scissors for metal;
- pencil, tape measure;
- drill-screwdriver;
- level;
- a hammer;
- electro-cutters;
- glue, dowel, self-tapping screws;
- metal profile;
- drywall.
First you plan on the walls, floor, ceiling of the line, on which you will fasten the profile guides. Then tighten them, forming the necessary bends and turns, on self-tapping screws. And only after that you can proceed with the installation of drywall sheets. We attach them also to screws with small distances. Light sheets can be placed on the glue.
When installing in a toilet, plasterboard boxes usually tend to hide communications in the formed niche. Actually, the whole box is built around the pipes. All joints on plasterboard are masked with putty in 1-2 mm, and corners are pasted with putty corners.
To access the pipes indiscriminately, you need to make a hinged door, disguised as a continuation of the box. It is hung on the door hinges, mounted in a wooden beam.
The final finish of the box is usually made in the same style as the walls. Usually in the toilet on the walls laid tiles, the box is also overlaid with tiles of the same color.
As a result, the finished construction looks a lot neater and more aesthetic than bare pipes. In addition, the resulting step can be used as a shelf for various household chemicals and other toiletries.
