Doorway from plasterboard

Remodeling the premises now no one is surprised. Using modern building materials from a large room, you can make a few small ones, move the window, make another door. That's it about the design of the doorway with gypsum cardboard we'll talk.

Variety of doorways

Human fantasy has no boundaries, in particular, and in relation to the design of doorways . So, they can be not only a classical form, but also more intricate. For example, if it is an interior opening in which it is planned to install a regular rectangular door, it is not difficult to arrange it. However, now openings of non-standard, asymmetric shape are becoming more popular. But one way or another all the doorways from the hypocarcone are performed according to the standard scheme:

We will consider in more detail the design of a doorway made of drywall in a pseudostem made of it. To make it as it should, it is necessary, first of all, to determine its size. The ideal option is to do it under the door already available. Then you just need to measure it and get a wall, leaving room for a future opening. The door set is inserted into it.

When the doorway is too wide

Often during the repair there is a need to reduce the opening. For an experienced master this task is not particularly difficult. How it is possible to reduce the doorway with hypocarton, we now consider.

  1. First you need to make measurements, marking on the floor the lines to which you will have to zauzhivat opening. This is done with the help of the rule, because it is perfectly flat. To avoid errors at this stage, it is necessary to take what is wider than the original opening.
  2. The next measurement is the required width of the opening. From the initial width of the opening we take the width of the door together with the door frame. As a result, we get a difference, which will have to narrow the opening. Marking is placed on the upper crossbar of the opening. Where to put a mark down, we determine with the help of a plumb.
  3. Further, from above and from below with the help of screws we fix the rigid rack-mount profiles, having laid them along the width of the opening.
  4. In them we insert and fix the vertical profiles, on which we will sew drywall.
  5. It is fixed to wide profiles with the help of a mounting glue or gypsum plaster, and then fixed with self-tapping screws, slightly "drowning" them.
  6. We do this from three sides - on the sides and in the front part.
  7. It remains only to plaster the structure and insert the door frame with the doors.

How to sew a doorway hypocarton?

Sometimes in the process of repair it turns out that the door where it was, is no longer needed. There is a need to sew it up, that is, close it so that there is not even a hint left of it. Masters-repairmen know how to repair a gypsum cardboard doorway that is unnecessary. To do this, you need to stock up with wide profiles, mineral wool, gypsum cardboard, self-tapping screws and putty.

  1. First of all, from the top and bottom we plan the fixing of the profiles. In order that they really become strictly vertical, it is necessary to outline the locations of their fastening with a plumb line.
  2. Next - the case behind the rack-mount profiles. We strengthen them at the top and bottom with the help of self-tapping screws.
  3. In them we invest and fix the vertical profiles. Ideally, if their width is identical with the thickness of the wall. If not, you will have to fasten the doorway that is thin on both sides.
  4. The formed emptiness is filled with soundproofing and warming mineral wool.
  5. It remains only to sew the gap with plasterboard. We attach it to the profiles with screws.
  6. The final touch is putty filling and preparation of the wall surface for decoration (painting, wallpapering).
