No modern interior is possible withouteven corners and walls, because no decorative elements will hide the curvature. How to align the corner of a wall yourself? After all, the durability of their decor depends on how even they turn out. For example, if they are significantly uneven, it is difficult to choose a wallpaper pattern, and over time they begin to move away from the wall and crack.
The corners of the walls can be leveled with plaster andspecial spatula. You can level the corner with plaster or plasterboard. To choose the most suitable option, first of all, you should determine the degree of unevenness using a level.
Drywall for leveling corners
Necessary tools and materials:
- drywall;
- metallic profile;
- level building, ruler, gon, roulette;
- self-tapping screws, dowels, screws;
- screwdriver, perforator, mounting knife;
- primer and putty;
- spatulas.
There are two ways to align corners with plasterboard: frame and frameless.
Scheme of leveling the outer corner with plasterboard.The first option is used in cases where the curvature of the angle is very large. If the curvature is only 4-7 mm, then the frameless method will do. Each of these methods has its pros and cons. So, the frame method is simpler and faster to perform. The frame is a durable structure with better heat and sound insulation. The frameless method of leveling is quite feasible to do on your own, but for frame leveling it is better to use the services of a professional. When starting leveling, first you need to clean the surface from dirt and dust, and then treat it with a deep penetration primer. When the primer is completely dry, you should prepare a strip of drywall of the required size. The size can be adjusted by leaning the strip against the wall. Then a small layer of mounting foam is applied to the drywall, and the material is leaned against the wall so that some of the foam gets on it, which will subsequently provide better adhesion. After this, another layer of foam is applied to the plasterboard and a little time is given (approximately 5 minutes) for drying, after which it is finally applied to the wall. The evenness of the material must be adjusted very quickly, using a level and a profile, so that the foam does not have time to dry completely. The angle is checked with a square. Excess foam after drying is removed with a sharp knife, and uneven areas are puttied. Return to contents</a>
Plaster for aligning corners
To work you will need:
The 90 degree angle is measured and aligned with a square and a rule.
- putty start and finish;
- primer;
- counter-shell (aluminum corner, on which the plaster grid is attached);
- level;
- narrow and wide spatulas.
With this method of alignment you shoulduse counter-shultz. The corners are fixed strictly vertically inside the corner that needs to be leveled, this is the only way to create a perfectly flat surface. To fix the counter-shultz, the surface must be primed, and then apply a thick layer of putty. Apply the counter-shultz to the corner, pressing it into the putty, checking the verticality with a level. You need to be careful not to accidentally bend the counter-shultz, and it bends very easily. After fixing the counter-shultz, excess putty can be removed from the inside and let the putty harden. Then you can apply plaster, making sure that the reinforcing mesh is completely covered. This will make it possible to create not only a flat, but also a strong corner. It is extremely difficult to align the corner of the wall so that it is exactly 90 °, and a minimal error will still be present. The task is to make this error minimal, then the interior of the room will be perfect.
