Nowadays, to turn an attic into a full-fledged residential building is not too difficult. First of all, this room is insulated so that it is fully used at any time of the year. Only then are internal works performed, using such quality modern materials for the attic as lining, chipboard, plywood or OSB slabs. In this case, we will consider one of the most common and inexpensive ways, when for the decoration of walls or ceiling is chosen drywall.
Ceiling of plasterboard in the attic
It is most convenient to lay the insulation between the beams, fixing it with the help of nails. The frame must be made of a quality profile. It slightly strengthens the rafter system and makes it more resistant to deformations, which can arise from the impact of a large layer of snow. For gypsum boarding, buy a mansard-only moisture resistant material with antifungal additives, it will save you from possible troubles in the future. Often a two-layer system is practiced. In this case, the second layer of sheets is mounted with offset, when the joints are at a distance of half the plate relative to the previous layer. This method increases the fire resistance of the structure and, in addition, ensures that the walls are protected from cracking of joints.
Design of an attic with plasterboard
Walls and ceiling of plasterboard in the attic can be painted, wallpapered with wallpaper. Often the height of the room here is not very large, so it is worthwhile to use in the interior of dyes of light colors. To fill the room with light, install large windows in this room. They are, as usual, and specially adapted for sloping walls. In some styles it is practiced not to completely sew up wooden structures, recommending, on the contrary, to distinguish dark beams against the background of light wallpaper. But it is necessary to take into account in which zone the building is located, so that this version of the attic finishing does not worsen the thermal conductivity of the walls. Also, do not forget that drywall allows you to easily create various decorative shelves or niches , these designs will help diversify the interior of this room, making it more cozy and original.
