During the overhaul of premises, it is very often necessary to carry out wall chipping. Before proceeding with the preparation, you will have to decide on the electrical supply of the home, creating a wiring plan with the locations of sockets and switches. The easiest way is to conduct additional wiring directly along the plane of the walls, fixing with nails or hiding in a special box. However, this method has many disadvantages, violating primarily the aesthetic appearance of the room. Therefore, the shutting of walls for wiring is chosen by most people. In this case, it is supposed to make a cutout in which all the necessary wires can fit.
Today, wall chipping can be done using a special tool or manually. However, before starting work, you should familiarize yourself with the basic rules. You cannot cut at an arbitrary angle. Perform actions should be strictly at an angle of 90 degrees. The depth and width of the strobe should not exceed 25 mm. Performing a vertical cut, you need to retreat at least ten centimeters from the corners, as well as window and door openings. In the case of a vertical arrangement from the ceiling deviates from 15 to 40 cm.
So, gating walls manually is the simplest option, involving serious labor costs. For work, you only need a hammer and a chisel. This method is advantageous, rather, in the case when it is necessary to do a small segment. First of all, the advantages are that an expensive tool and electricity are not needed to create a cutout. However, in reality it is hard work, taking a large amount of time and effort. In addition, even with a strong desire, an even excavation cannot be made.
The manual method will not work if the walls are chipped under the pipes, since they have a large diameter, unlike wires. In this case, it is better to perform work with a punch. First, small holes are made along the marked strip every 1-2 cm. After drilling, the tool switches to shock mode. Next, the rest of the plaster is removed. In fact, this is a simple and fairly quick way, but with it a large amount of dust appears. In addition, a decent noise is created during the work, and the strip is not quite even.
It is much more efficient to grind the walls with an angle grinder ( grinder ). First of all, parallel cuts with a depth of about 2 cm are made according to the marking. After that, you will still have to use a puncher to bring down the central part of the cutout with a special nozzle in the form of a scapula. Although you can resort to manual cutting, using a chisel and a hammer. The main advantage can be considered getting a neat and even cutout. It is advisable to carry out the work with an assistant who will collect construction dust, wielding during the chipping with a vacuum cleaner. For this operation you will have to buy an expensive diamond blade.
