Just a few years ago, during the construction of partitions, the craftsmen had to suffer for a very long time, because wooden blocks were used as a frame . And not the best quality. And if it was required to make a design of irregular shape, then, as they say in common people, at least
hang yourself. But as soon as the guide profile appeared on the market, the production of partitions made much easier.
The metal frame allows you to realize the most bizarre forms.
In the manufacture of interior partitions , a rigid frame made of a metal profile is used as the basis for them . It is produced by cold rolling a strip of galvanized steel with a thickness of up to 0.8 millimeters. A galvanized layer protects the drywall guide profile from external factors. This measure is necessary because partitions and ducts are sometimes assembled in humid rooms, for example, in bathrooms or shower rooms.
A guide profile is produced mainly of a length of three meters. In order to withstand heavy loads, for example, when facing partition walls with ceramic tiles, stiffeners are made on the profiles.
When assembling frames, profiles of different types are used, each of which has its own purpose.
The first type is a rack profile
- It has a p-shape and the abbreviation PS. The main function is to fasten sheets of drywall to it or other finishing materials used in the manufacture of partitions and boxes.
The second type is a guide profile
- It is also made in the form of a channel and is briefly called PN. When assembling the frame, it acts as a guide profile for the rack. Along the entire length, it has eight-millimeter holes for dowels for mounting to the floor or wall.
The third type is a corner profile
- Designed to strengthen the corner joints during the installation of drywall. Perforated with five-millimeter holes for best bonding with drywall sheets when applying putty. Short name - PU. Also available in three meter lengths.
Fourth type - arched profile
- It is used for the manufacture of curved surfaces from drywall. For its production, the profile ceiling guide PP - 60 \ 27 is used. With it, you can set any bending radius, but not less than fifty centimeters.
Of course, in the manufacture of partitions, not only the guide profile is used. For this, various insulating materials are used for warming or making noise insulation. Drywall can be used as sheathing, cement-bonded particleboards, plywood and other materials.
Modern technology has greatly facilitated many construction works. A large amount of material allows you to create partitions of various shapes in the interior for a fairly short period, and, most importantly, using a guide profile, you can do this yourself, without involving expensive specialists.
