Today, drywall can be called the most popular and universal material for the construction of walls and partitions, multi -level ceiling and even decorative elements in the house. For example, from drywall you can make functional niches in which you can put beautiful vases, paintings or souvenirs. Making niches from drywall can be entrusted to specialists, or you can try to do it with your own hands. For this, you need to have only a tool and a little skills.
The niche in the wall can perform not only purely decorative functions, but also practical. For example, it can hide irregularities on the wall or close the unwanted area. In addition, a niche from drywall can be decorated with a multi -colored backlight or install spotlights. On the Web you can see many photos of niches that differ from each other with the originality of design and functional features. A drywall specialist can work real miracles with this material.
So, before proceeding to the construction of a niche, we need to determine the place in which it will be and its design. You can seek help from the Internet and already find ready -made ideas of niches there, having a little modifying them. After we decided on the place and design, we buy the material. In our hands there should be a plan for the construction of a niche, based on which we purchase the right number of sheets of drywall, profile and parts.
Materials purchased, go to work. Mark the niche on the wall, and begin to mount the frame from profiles. The profile is attached to the wall using a dowel of nails, and brackets, screws and hollow rivets are fastened together. It is necessary to fix the profile to the wall very tightly so that our niche is even and stable.
After assembling the frame, you need to lay the wires if you make a niche backlight. All wires must be thoroughly insinated and attached to the frame. Next, we begin the assembly of the niche itself. Drywall sheets are attached to the frame with self -tapping screws and screwdrivers. If you tighten the screws manually, it takes a lot of time, so it is better to get a screwdriver. We advise you not to regret self -tapping screws and securely attach them to the profile. You need to handle bent sheets very carefully, they still need to be correctly cut off, about how to cut drywall we wrote in one of the past articles.
After the assembly of the niche from the drywall, we proceed to its decoration. We need to plunge it and paint it, or glue the wallpaper. The joints between the sheets and the holes from the self -tapping screws must be thoroughly plunged, especially if you paint the niche with paint.
