We periodically make repairs in our apartments. Many people are attracted to this business specialists, but there are those who master themselves. Now we will show in detail how to make a plasterboard box with our own hands.
Installation of the gypsum board box
A box of plasterboard is a fairly simple design. It is a crate of metal profiles, which is sewed with sheets of plasterboard.
Necessary materials:
- metal profiles - for the ceiling and guides;
- drywall;

We prepared everything necessary for work and now we start to make a box made of drywall.
- On the surface of the wall with the help of a level we draw labels for fixing the profiles. After that we fix the profiles with a drill and dowels.
- At this stage, install the guide rails on the ceiling. Two necessary sections of the profile are fixed perpendicular to each other on the ceiling. In order to form a straight right angle, use a square.
- A similar design is attached to the floor. To make the design correct, it is best to use a plumb in this case, it can be made quickly from improvised materials.
- Now you can attach a corner profile, for this purpose, suitable as a guide, and a ceiling option. Cut it to the desired length. Cut off the metal profile between the top and bottom structures, for reliability, fix the screws.
- For the strength of the entire structure, you need to fix the cross rails, you can use the ceiling profiles. At this point, do not forget to take into account all possible communications outlets, sewn hatches or attachments for the heated towel rail, correctly calculate the necessary dimensions between the guides.
- Ready construction is plastered with plasterboard. To do this, cut sheets of certain sizes and fasten them to the frame using self-tapping screws.
That's the whole process, you see, it's quite simple and fast. Good luck!
