We understand which tasks are solved by partitions in the apartment and we tell why drywall sheets are optimal material for the construction of new walls.
At the stage of creating a design project, you want to "squeeze" from the apartment maximum. Select a space for the workbook or children's, expand one room or divide one room for two smaller. At the same time, I want to achieve good sound insulation and not limited to the operation of these walls, that is, hang on them all that is scheduled at the design project. Qualitative interior partitions solve these important tasks.
What kind of tasks solve partitions?
Let's call the three most important:
- Help zoning space. For example, highlight the bedroom and living room in a studio apartment, separate the office, the kitchen from the living room. Book racks or shirms, which are also used for zoning, do not fully cope with this task. If only because the sounds do not delay. And this is the main point.
- Provide sound insulation. Buing partitions from the right material, you can sleep and work in silence. Or noise in the kitchen and in the living room, not a bottle of other family members.
- Serve a reliable support when hanging any, even the most difficult items. It is logical that, removing the wall, it will want to use it at the maximum: hang everything that will be necessary. Partitions will cope with it. The main thing is to choose the right fastener.
Consider in more detail the possible scenarios of zoning with partitions.
Allocate part of the room under the dressing room
For this simple task, it is not necessary to conduct serious construction work. A frame is built on the tie of the floor and is squeezed by plasterboard sheets. It is not associated with noisy and dirty construction work, exporting garbage, as it would be used, for example, bricks.
Separate children
In a small apartment (one-bedroom or studio), where family lives with children, sooner or later the question arises that it is time to share the parent bedroom and children.
The main task will achieve the desired level of sound insulation. The minimum air noise isolation index for residential rooms is 44-46 dB. That is, for example, from one room there should be no conversation in calm colors. The posted wall in the Polkirpich provides sound insulation of 47 dB, but the work will take a lot of time and effort. The wall thickness of 20 cm, made of foam blocks, gives 44 dB, but it is too big loss of area for residential rooms. The wall can be made from the puzzle plates (PGP), but they have very modest sound insulation parameters, even a simple conversation will be heard.
The optimal choice for the construction of partitions will be sheets of plasterboard, for example, two-layer partitions from KNAUF-sheets (G CNW or KNAUF-Sapphire List). Such partitions due to multilayer design have excellent soundproofing from 52 to 55 dB and do not require complex construction work.
Split the kitchen and living room
Despite the growing trend of united kitchens and living rooms, such a layout like not everyone. Noise from cooking prevents watching movies or read books, and even the best hood does not save the smells completely. You can build a partition that will divide the room into two zones. It is very important that it can withstand the load and did not limit you in the interior design. Two-layer partitions from plasterboard Knauf-sheets plus correctly selected fasteners will withstand any load: a large plasma TV, shelves with books, wall lights - anything.
Select a space for the private account
People who are moving to remote work often underestimate the importance of a separate cabinet. At first it seems that you can work anywhere: in bed, on the sofa, in the living room or in the kitchen. But very quickly becomes obvious that it is uncomfortable. You can almost in any apartment for work. For your desktop, chairs and a small closet you will need no more than 4.5-6 square meters. m. You can carve this space from the corridor, living room or bedroom. The main task in this case is to achieve increased sound insulation and carry out these works quickly, therefore, two-layer partitions from KNAUF-sheets sapphire are well suited in this situation.
Partition with 112 from Sapphire Knauf List
Obviously, in the most popular scenarios with all the tasks for zoning, sound insulation and hanging heavy items, drywall cruciforms are perfect.
Several advantages of plasterboard partitions
Can be erected to the finishing floor
Brick partitions, PGP or foam blocks can not be put on the finished floor with the finish coating (laminate, parquet, tile). The floor for them will have to cut. The partition from Knauf-sheets can be put in the apartment directly to the floor covering of the floor and to additionally zonate the room.
Smaller weight and thickness
A two-layer plasterboard partition is substantially lighter than brick (53-67 kg / m² against brick, which weighs 230-280 kg / m²). This means that you do not have to worry about the load on the overlap. At the same time, the thickness of such a wall will be less than it would be in the brick: the partition is thick in the Pollipich (120 mm) will give an indicator of noise insulation in 46-47 dB. Two-layer septum of two double drywall Knauf-sheets and a layer of mineral wool between them, a thickness of 75 mm, already exceeds this indicator - 56 dB.
Opportunity to embody designer ideas
Gypsum CartonNavef-sheets are well milled and bended. Their structure allows you to make bends of various radius of curvature using different technologies: bend in a dry state (large radius) and with pre-moisturizing and drying on the template (small radius).
Two-layer plasterboard Knauf-sheets - universal material that allows you to carry out a variety of ideas. Here are some interesting options.
- Make the arch between the living room and the kitchen. It can be rectangular or curved.
- Describe storage systems (wardrobe or rack). They will look like a continuation of the wall and perfectly fit into the interior.
- Make a niche. Large to arrange a dressing room. Or small to, for example, decorate the headboard bed. You can also design niches in order to hide the heating radiator.
- Make off the windows and doors. Plasterboard finishing of window slopes is easier and faster than plastering and modern plastic.
- Build a box in order to hide communications: in the bathroom, in the kitchen, corridor.
- Add protrusions under the ceiling and mow point dot lamps in them.
- Make embossed walls.
- Build a podium instead of bed and place a bedroom in a small apartment.
- Emboss Faxin. This is an excellent solution for classic interiors and a popular Scandinavian style.
However, the above ideas can not be limited and implement any designer solutions. The main thing is to comply with the technology when working with the material.
High quality base for finishing
If you have erected a partition from a quality material, for example, a sapphire drywall, then after sealing the joints using the Knaf-fuef-fugen, or the KNAUF-Uniflot and the solid shovels of the entire surface of the KNAUF-Rotband Po), be able to proceed to apply the finishing coating: semi-convex paint , Venetian plaster, metallized wallpaper.Improve microclimate
Two-layer partitions from KNAUF-sheets based on natural gypsum create a favorable microclimate indoor, as natural materials are used in their production.
How to plan a budget for repair in advance?
To plan the budget for the repair of an apartment or at home, you need to understand in advance how much and what material you need. To do this, there is a great tool - Navigator Calculator Knauf: Just calculate the amount of material based on the specified parameters.
Consider that the data on the number of materials will be indicative, but this will help you understand exemplary spending and confidently, without any experiences to prepare for repairs.
