Independently align the walls

Today, probably, no one will surprise with uneven walls, angles and various drops.

It is necessary to approach the alignment of the walls.

By purchasing such a living space (or just when time comes), we begin to think about the conversion of the walls.

Consider a more practical option - wall alignment by plaster.

Let's start with the preparatory work:

• Clean the walls from all extra: Slim wallpaper, putty. If the walls are already "naked", then we simply wash them away from dust and carefully soothing them. It is from this stage that the durability of your future walls depends on and the result as a whole, since the better the surface of the wall will be prepared, the better the plaster will be held on it.
• We prepare tools: Construction mixer, vest (no less than two), level, construction rule (1.5 m or 2m long), beams, spatulas, etc. (about work with read here)

After preparation work and the purchase of necessary mixtures begin directly alignment of the walls.

Using the level and the finished mixture, we apply beacons on the wall through each meter-half. Why is it better to mount the beacons for the mixture, and not on the nails? Because in the first case, you can easily correct something.

• The mixture between two lighthouses is applied to the spatula with rapid movements and align the metal rule from the bottom up. Do not try to throw a mixture immediately between several pairs of beacons - it will not lead to anything good.

On average, the alignment of the standard wall is 12-15 m.kv. It is worth spending about 6 hours and dries at least two days (it all depends on the thickness of the applied mixture).

At this stage, it is also important to comply with certain rules.:

1. there should be no drafts in the room;
2. the air temperature indoors should not fall below + 15 degrees.

After complete drying of the walls, we hold the walls of the walls (on average after 7 days).

Take care of plasterboard

Lovers of clean work with minimal dust, dirt, various inconveniences and time spending are resorted to alignment of walls with drywall. You will only need a screwdriver, CD and UD profiles, rule and plasterboard.

However, there are certain nuances (and may be a minuses). For example: if you have a small-sized room, then after repair you will remain much less square meters, as the distance between the walls will significantly decrease. On average, from each wall "steal" about 8 cm. We also do not forget that drywall - the material is very vulnerable (in contrast to the frozen plaster) and does not take even a minor impact.

Well, choose of course to you, as a future worker and tenant at the same time.
