The use of metal profiles for wall decoration
In most cases the wall is made of plasterboardit is advisable to make from ready-made profiles. They are excellent solutions for trouble-free installation of drywall. All that is required from the consumer is to purchase such material and fix it to the wall. Such products are especially popular when forming a partition. As practice shows, in retail outlets you can find already galvanized profiles of this type, which are made using a thin steel tape. In particular, from such profiles a solid frame of the material is subsequently formed, which is very easy to install. The frame itself is the so-called powerful base on which the drywall is attached. Return to contents</a>
Facing without the use of a carcass
Scheme of installation of joints of plasterboard sheets.This type of wall cladding is more common than the previous one, due to the fact that it is less expensive. After all, quite a lot of money is spent on purchasing special profiles from which the frame is formed, which cannot be said about simply fastening drywall. And this kind of method cannot be called very complicated. It should be noted that it is recommended to carry out this kind of work exactly at the moment when the final finishing of the room is done. After all, installing the material without a frame implies some technical aspects that are best performed precisely during unfinished work on finishing the interior space. Plus, it makes sense to start installing the product in this way in winter with the heating on, so that the same temperature is constantly maintained in the room. Naturally, the dimensions of the drywall must correspond to the dimensions of the walls on which the drywall sheets will be installed. That is why it is necessary to carefully measure the room before starting its finishing. Return to contents</a>

Advantages and disadvantages of frameless gypsum board installation
Despite the fact that this type of cladding is extremely popular, it also has its advantages and disadvantages.
Pros and cons of finishing walls with plasterboard.Its main advantage is the low cost of work. Considering that you will only have to spend money on the purchased material and subsequent substances, of which there will not be so much, then this method can be called truly economical. If we consider fastening using a frame, then you will have to spend a lot on the profiles themselves to form the base, which are quite expensive, and also add all the above costs. It should also be noted that frameless installation implies that the client can easily cope with it on his own and there is no need to order a special team for this purpose. Another undeniable advantage is the ability to form a perfectly flat wall surface, which cannot be said about the frame method, which does not allow, as they say, to feel the wall. If you need to apply drywall to the surface, then in this case all the roughness of the material is very clearly visible, as a result of which they are very easy to eliminate. Naturally, one cannot fail to note the speed of the work, which cannot be said about the frame method, where it is necessary to first form the base, and then fix it with special materials. One cannot fail to mention the ease of cleaning after completing all the above works. Speaking about the disadvantages, I would like to note the fact that this method will not allow you to form high-quality insulation of the walls, as in the case of the frame option, and will not allow you to hide some elements of communications from prying eyes. Although these disadvantages are more than compensated by all the advantages of the material.
