Technology of the device of window slopes from plasterboard. Do-it-yourself drywall slopes - an easy way to clean up

Influence European standards on the life of the population of the post-Soviet space in recent times increasingly felt in the construction industry. Owners real estate trying to transform their property. For this, technologies and materials imported from the West are used. It has become a common occurrence. But this process is accompanied by a violation of the integrity of the structure. window openings and requires restoration of slopes. In an article with detailed photos presented step-by-step instruction how to make plasterboard slopes on windows with your own hands.

Preparatory activities

As for drywall, it is better to immediately prime the entire wrong side of the sheet. This will prevent us from being distracted by the processing of each individual part. Moreover, it takes time for the primer to dry.

Measures to reduce the size of the window opening with a large width of the foamed space

Often measurements of window openings are performed by non-professionals. Because of this, the width of the foamed space after installation metal plastic window can reach 10 cm.

In accordance with the recommendations of the technology in question, the drywall slope boundary should overlap the edges of the frame, leaving the foam out of sight. Therefore, the distance between the drywall and the base surface can be quite large. This will require the application of a thick layer of mortar, which will make it difficult to get the drywall pieces in the correct position.

How to close the extra space between drywall and foam?

To solve this problem, in the process of preparing the window opening, you can include the fastening of a kind of lining from drywall strips. They will reduce (depending on the need) the width or height of the opening. To do this, from the part of the drywall sheet that will not be used for the manufacture of the main parts, or remained after the installation of the plasterboard ceiling, strips about 5 cm wide are cut with a construction knife.

A gypsum adhesive mixture is kneaded with a mixer or a drill with a special nozzle. As a result, it should have the consistency of thick sour cream.

Application of the adhesive mixture

The layer of adhesive must be sufficient so that upon completion of the installation of these strips to reach desired result. The goal is to raise the level of the base surface. To make it easier to work, the mixture can be applied not only to the glued drywall, but also to the wall of the opening.

So it is possible in more achieve a rise in the level of the base surface. After applying the putty, the part is installed in the prepared place.

As can be seen in the previous photo, the adhesive mixture is not applied in a continuous layer on the concrete base, but only in the form of two strips along the edges. We do not need the plasterboard slopes inside to be monolithic (although you can add a couple of “bloopers” in the central part).

The main thing is to create a support for the workpiece to be installed so that its edges do not hang in the air. This approach provides significant savings adhesive mixture. In the end, the window opening will look like the one shown in the photo below.

If the layer of foam resulting from installing the window is no more than 2-3 cm, then the entire lining procedure described above may not be needed. In this case, you can immediately proceed directly to the installation of drywall slopes.

Installation of plasterboard elements of window slopes

First of all, the top part is installed. To do this, it must be prepared in advance by cutting off from a whole sheet of drywall. But to start making necessary measurements so that the gypsum board is of sufficient length and width.

The established dimensions are transferred to the surface of the sheet, and, focusing on them, are marked with a ruler and a cut line pencil.

With a construction knife, a drywall element for the upper slope is cut along the marked lines.

Starting to install the cut blank, you should prepare everything necessary tools and materials. To complete the task, you will need:

• level-bar, the length of which is comparable to the size of the installed panel;
• spatula for applying the mixture to the surfaces to be joined;
• cut-to-size plasterboard slab;
• ready adhesive composition mixed in the manner described above.

When everything is prepared, proceed to the application of the adhesive mixture. It is better to place it around the perimeter, adding a few "blunders" in the central part. To simplify the workflow, it makes sense to apply part of the mixture on base surface closer to the frame. And the second part to the edge drywall board, on the side that will be removed from the window.

The next step is to set the plate in the desired position. Focus on the drawn in the process preparatory activities lines.

How to achieve horizontal top slope?

To achieve a strict horizontal position of the upper slope of drywall, it is necessary during installation to check its location using a level in two directions.

If any place needs to be brought closer to the wall of the opening, then this can be done with light blows on the drywall. But pulling the plate in the opposite direction is not worth it. The mixture does not have the properties of rubber and will not return to its previous state. Therefore, it is better to apply a layer of the mixture with a margin, and the excess substance will spontaneously distribute between the surfaces to be joined, partially filling the voids.

Some craftsmen for the top slope of drywall, come up with props or use dowels to fix the slab in position. In most cases, this is not necessary. Forces surface tension will be able to easily hold drywall, not allowing it to change the spatial arrangement.

Installation of side slopes

As for the drywall side slopes, their installation can begin after the adhesive mixture that holds the top plate has solidified. This procedure follows the same procedure as described above for the top bar:

• a part is cut out of drywall;
• the glue mixture is mixed;
• the finished composition is applied to the surfaces to be joined;
• drywall part is installed in the place intended for it;
• the position of the plate is adjusted along the marking lines and using the level.

The only difference is that the level check is done vertically in one direction.

Covering cracks with glue

When all the drywall elements have taken their proper position and the adhesive mixture has hardened, it is necessary to cover all the cracks between the drywall and the walls of the opening with the same composition.

After that, you can proceed to the last stage - puttying drywall.

Finishing work

In accordance with the rules for installing drywall slopes, for, it is important that the corners are perfectly even. Therefore, a perforated corner is installed on them. He will strengthen them, protecting them from possible mechanical damage. The corner must be measured to size and cut with metal scissors.

Installing a perforated corner

Then you need to mix a little finishing putty (it is better to use Knauf multi-finish, which will provide more time to work with the mixture). Putty must first be applied to the slope angle.

After that, the corner is set.

Application to drywall surface

Next, use the same gypsum mixture. Then proceed to apply it to the surface of the drywall. It is important not to forget that this surface must be primed in advance. The leveling of the slope surface is carried out in two stages.

The first stage is applying the mixture in sufficient quantity with a spatula. It must be applied perpendicular to the drywall element.

The second stage is the tightening of the putty with a wide spatula along the slope.

Preparation of slopes for painting

If the slopes will be painted, it is better to apply putty in two layers. With a drying period in between. After the surface window slopes from drywall will take aesthetic appearance and dry enough, it remains only to grind it. This is done using a special abrasive mesh. After sanding, remove the sags. Then comes the painting.

As can be seen from this story, it is not difficult to make slopes from drywall with your own hands. It is important to carefully measure everything and follow the technological order. This should be observed during preparatory work, and during the installation and finishing of the main parts. Do not forget to prime hard surfaces before applying mixtures. And also, do not knead a lot of glue in order to have time to produce it before it hardens.

Good luck with your repair!

Finishing windows for slopes with your own hands can be done in two ways: wet and dry. Using wet-mounted as the main building material putty mixture or plaster based on gypsum or lime mortars. Its application will require construction skills and awareness of the nuances of execution technology.

Rough finishing of slopes

The dry method uses mounting materials like sheets of drywall, plastic or. It is preferable to produce window slopes in this way for the following reasons:

• saving time during installation (you do not have to wait 4-5 days until plaster mixture grasp);
• you can do the finishing with your own hands;
• such materials are easier to dismantle when replacing windows, doorways;
• thanks to the emphasized geometric lines, aesthetically attractive and neat window openings with perfectly even corners are created;
• the thermal insulation of the opening is improved.

Why is drywall used?

Finishing slopes with drywall sheets is preferable due to the affordable cost of the material and the ease of processing when adjusting sizes, forming complex curly window elements or non-standard openings.

The material is environmentally friendly, has a unique porous structure, which helps to regulate humidity levels, stabilize outdoor temperature fluctuations and create an optimal indoor microclimate.

In more detail the principle of finishing slopes

For window decoration, only green GKLV brand drywall with special water-repellent additives for installation in places exposed to moisture is used. The thickness of the sheets is 12.5 mm.

In order for the walls of the window opening to withstand the weight of the sheet, and a thermal bridge is formed between them and the material for good thermal insulation, a special frame is formed under the gypsum slab. It is made of a metal or wooden profile, however, the use of the former is preferable due to its ability to maintain its physical properties in conditions high humidity. The frame itself is installed only after the gap between the window opening and the frame of the double-glazed window is insulated with mounting foam and its excess is cut off after drying.

Window prepared to start installation work

Features of mounting technology

Before starting work with the frame, measurements are taken. To do this, the depth is measured on each side of the window opening. The largest indicator of width becomes the basis for the parameters of the future drywall slope. The length of the slopes should be equal to the height of the window. According to the data obtained, three elements are made: two side slopes and one upper.

Frame assembly:

• along the edges of the opening and in its corner perpendicular to the floor, a UD profile is installed;
• a sealing tape is necessarily laid between the wall and the profile, in the future this will reduce heat losses, and in winter time protect the profile from freezing;
• jumpers from the CD profile are installed perpendicular to the guide profiles;
• in the same way, a frame is made for the upper part of the opening;
• the profile is attached to the wall using a dowel with self-tapping screws, the planks are connected to each other by means of self-tapping screws for metal such as “bug”, “tex” or “flea”;
• in sections of the frame from the profile, additional heat and moisture insulating materials (mineral wool, polystyrene, polystyrene) can be laid;
• after the installation is completed, the frame is sheathed using pre-prepared plasterboard slopes;
• their fastening in the window opening begins with top element, then go to the side. The segments are fixed with self-tapping screws 25 mm long, their pitch is 15-20 cm.

Sloping frame device and its insulation

Finishing slopes provides for sealing joints between sheets of drywall with putty, coating with 2-3 layers of primer. To enhance the protection of elements from moisture, the gaps between the frame, window sill and slope are sealed with acrylic sealant.

Joints between sheets are closed

The resulting angle between the wall and the opening can be reinforced with a perforated profile, which is fixed to the slope with putty or a stapler. At the end of the work, they begin to decorate the opening: applying plaster, painting, and so on.

An alternative to frame mounting technology

Apart from frame technology installation, sometimes an adhesive finish is used. It is suitable for the device of slopes and registration of doorways. Adhesive finish saves window opening space. However, by attaching the slope to the frame, it turns out to arrange additional thermal insulation, hide various communications or electrical wiring. Therefore, the use of a particular technology depends on the specifics of the premises.

Slope device diagram

The proposed diagram shows very clearly that the sheet is fastened with the help of mounting foam, which also acts as a heater, so you solve two problems at the same time: slopes and thermal insulation of the room.

Drywall slope device

You can learn more about what steps the frame device and the finishing of the window opening with drywall slopes include by watching the video.

For adhesive finishing of windows with drywall, a Perflix solution from Knauf is used. The main requirement is that the glue should not be liquid. The solution is applied on the surface of the slope with dots at a distance of 30 cm. To improve fixation at the edges and in the center of the drywall blank, it is recommended to screw in self-tapping screws. Installation begins with the upper slope, then proceed to the side elements.

Before and after

An alternative to glue is mounting foam, however, with such a gap finish, monitor its consumption so that excess swelling does not violate the integrity of drywall slopes. With this installation, there is no need to insulate windows, since the foam acts as a heat and moisture insulating material.

In contact with

After the plastic windows are installed, it is necessary to finish the interior and exterior surfaces of the window niche. This will improve thermal performance window system, create a comfortable microclimate in the room and give the window opening a finished neat appearance. There are different Decoration Materials and options for their use. One of them is plasterboard slopes.

Why choose drywall

When installing metal-plastic structures- windows or doors, there is a preliminary dismantling of old products. In this case, damage is inevitable. After installation, it is required to restore the destroyed elements. It is not always possible to do this with plaster, so many people prefer to make plasterboard slopes with their own hands.

When replacing windows and doors, it is necessary to finish the slopes

At an affordable price, this material does not require special skills to work with it and the use of special tools.

Drywall window slopes deserve attention due to technical specifications main material:

• it is environmentally friendly and safe;
• has an affordable price;
• finishing slopes with drywall does not require special skills and tools;
• the design is unpretentious in care;
• neat appearance of window openings finished with drywall;
• long service life;
• drywall construction can be additionally insulated;
• in addition to window, it is possible to make door slopes from drywall with your own hands.

For work in "dry" rooms, GLV brand drywall is chosen; in rooms with high humidity, it is recommended to work with GKLV brand material. The thickness of the sheet should be 12.5 mm.

Drywall - environmentally friendly and safe material

Quality finish do-it-yourself window slopes with drywall can be performed subject to the recommendations and technology for performing work. In this case, the appearance of the room will be complete and neat. How to make slopes from drywall will be described below.

Preparation for work

Before installing plasterboard slopes, it is necessary to prepare workplace- clear the area around the window. If there is furniture in the room, then it should be covered with polyethylene to protect it from dirt, dust and moisture. Work with drywall refers to the "wet" type of work.

Slopes for entrance doors with drywall, as well as window ones, can be mounted in several ways - using glue, foam, putty or a metal frame.

When attaching elements to the wall surface, a gypsum-based adhesive mixture is used, followed by coating with a finishing putty.

Mounting foam

This material is used to securely fix the window structure and to protect assembly seam from moisture from outside. The installation of drywall slopes is performed to protect the mounting foam from moisture and sunlight, as this leads to its destruction and loss. performance characteristics.

surplus construction foam removed with a utility knife

Due to the ability to expand, the foam can protrude beyond the boundaries of the installation seam. Before installing slopes on drywall windows with your own hands, you need to cut off excess foam using a clerical or construction knife.

Measurement

To qualitatively make slopes on the door with your own hands, you need to remove exact dimensions and in accordance with them, cut out the details. In this case, it is necessary to take into account the need to create allowances, since adjustments may be required in the process of work.

When measuring the niche of a window opening, the slope is taken into account, so the height is measured twice - near the window and near the wall.

Surface preparation

To ensure maximum adhesion of the adhesive to the surface, it is necessary to thoroughly clean the base from dirt, dust and fragile finishes that crumble with minor mechanical stress.

After cleaning the surface with a brush or brush, it is washed with water to remove dust as much as possible. In this case, it is important to remove the old plaster layer or paintwork. With a significant violation of the integrity of the wall in the window niche, it must be restored and leveled.

Before installing drywall on slopes, it is necessary to clean the surface

Finishing window slopes at the leveling stage can be done with ordinary putty.

If the installation of drywall slopes is carried out using a metal frame, then with minor surface errors, alignment can be omitted. The main thing is to remove the damaged plaster layer.

Before making slopes, the surface must be treated with a primer with antiseptic additives to avoid the appearance of mold and fungus.. It is necessary that the slopes dry out.

Antiseptic primer prevents mold growth on slopes

The plasterboard slope should be fixed to the adhesive perpendicular to the plane of the window. Fixing the slopes of plastic windows on the walls is carried out in compliance with their exact horizontal and vertical location. Therefore, before installing drywall slopes on windows, it is necessary to mark their locations with a marker and a corner.

The installation site of the future slope is marked with a marker or pencil

Tools

From the tools you will need to prepare drywall, glue, primer, fasteners in the form of self-tapping screws, materials for thermal insulation, a small spatula, a screwdriver, rags and a water container, foam and a profile. You will also need metal scissors, a level and a tape measure.

How to cut drywall

If it is necessary to cut off a part of the drywall in a straight line, then it is carried out along the intended line with the tip of a sharp clerical knife. Then lightly tap on the surface of the sheet, applying a meter ruler to the line. As a result of this, the drywall breaks off along the notch line and it remains to cut off the cardboard on the other side.

Panels are cut with a utility knife.

If it is necessary to cut out a curly element, then a hacksaw for metal with small teeth is used. The use of an electric jigsaw can speed up the work, but you must be prepared for a large number dust.

For the installation of slopes on windows and for interior doors, it is necessary to use GKLV brand drywall.

Foam mounting

Fix the slopes on the windows of drywall in this way can even far from repair work human.

Installation of drywall on slopes can be carried out in parallel with insulation

How to properly work with this method:

• when the wall surface is clean and ready for further work, on slopes cut in accordance with the required parameters, a thin layer of mounting foam is applied in zigzag movements;
• glue the part on the wall and press for a while, fixing it in the desired position. The foam sets quickly, but it is important to consider its ability to expand, so the element is removed from the wall;
• after 5 minutes, the process of secondary expansion of the foam will occur, which partially remained on the wall and on the slope;
• after the foam has acquired its final volumes, the parts are attached to their places and remain for a day. During this time, the foam will finally harden. In this way, all fragments should be glued;
• at the final stage, with the help of plaster, the joints between the slopes and the wall are sealed.

Installation of slopes on foam is the easiest to perform

Despite the fact that this installation method does not require any complex manipulations, it has some tangible disadvantages:

• the surface must be leveled, otherwise it will not be possible to install the product accurately;
• possible deformation of the fragments;
• possible formation of voids and, as a result, not very reliable fastening.

Installation with putty

Can be used as an adhesive finishing putty- it has better grip. Putty should have a pasty consistency.

Do-it-yourself finishing of slopes with drywall using putty is carried out in the following way:

Installation on a metal frame

Installation of drywall slopes in this way is the most effective and durable. It is suitable for plastic windows and for installing slopes on the front door.

The location of the guides should be strictly vertical relative to the door slopes and in the corner. Then the crossbars should be made in increments of 50 cm. To properly make slopes of drywall at front door, take measurements after the frame is installed.

Fixing drywall to metal carcass- the most durable option

Do-it-yourself drywall door slopes are fixed in place with self-tapping screws. It is important to control the effort by screwing in the self-tapping screw so as not to damage the drywall. Drywall door slopes for interior doors will look neat in any interior.

The slopes are internal walls window opening. In most cases, these surfaces are equipped with a slight slope towards the room. When replacing double-glazed windows, the slopes are usually damaged. It is far from convenient to restore destroyed surfaces with plaster in all situations, therefore, more and more often, owners opt for plasterboard slopes. This material avoids all the difficulties and inconveniences typical for plastering.

The arrangement of slopes using drywall can be carried out using glue and frame methods. Study the basic information about the work ahead, familiarize yourself with the features of both methods, choose the option that is convenient for you and get started.

What do you need to work?

First of all, you need to prepare drywall sheets suitable for such work. The best option– moisture resistant material 12.5 mm thick.

Thickness	Size	Square	Weight
12.5mm	1200x2500 mm	3 sq.m	28.9 kg
12.5mm	1200x2700 mm	3.24 sq.m	31.2 kg
12.5mm	1200x3000 mm	3.6 sq.m	34.7 kg

If you choose the method of attaching drywall to the frame, buy the appropriate UD and CD profiles. Fix the profiles using screws and dowels. In the case of using the pasting method, buy a special glue for drywall. For 1 m 2 of drywall, an average of about 5 kg of adhesive is used. The specific value is determined individually in accordance with the brand of binder used and the condition of the surface to be finished.

Additionally, you will need a sealing tape.

The set of tools is standard. Prepare the following fixtures:

• grinder. Needed for cutting a metal profile. In the absence of a grinder, you can get by with scissors for cutting metal;
• perforator;
• knife for cutting drywall sheets;
• metal square;
• measuring tape;
• building level.

Preparatory activities

Take all your measurements first. In the process of preparing sheets of material for the design of slopes, leave slight allowances.

It is extremely difficult to provide an absolutely even base at the finishing installation points, therefore it is better to take the material with a margin and cut off the excess in the future, rather than find that part of the sheet is not enough to cover the entire surface of the slope.

Regardless of the chosen method of finishing slopes with drywall, perform preliminary preparation of the surface to be decorated. Be sure to remove the existing layer of plaster coating.

In the case of applying the gluing method, the surface must be carefully leveled. To do this, you can use an ordinary .

Using wireframe method, pre-alignment can be omitted in most cases. It is enough just to get rid of the crumbling sections of the plaster coating.

Treat the base with an antifungal agent.

After completing all the preliminary measures, you can proceed directly to the fastening of drywall sheets according to the chosen method.

Frame method of finishing slopes

When using this finishing method, work should begin with the arrangement of vertical decorative elements.

First step

Fasten the guides along the edges of the window opening perpendicular to the floor. At this point, use the UD profile. Fix with self-tapping screws in increments of 40-50 cm.

If the guide is fastened to the frame of a plastic window, be sure to lay a sealing tape between the profile and the surface of the double-glazed window. It will prevent the profile from freezing in cold weather.

Second step

Install the CD guides perpendicular to the UD profiles.

Third step

Sew up the frame with sheets of drywall.

Fourth step

Proceed to finish the top of the opening. The work is done in the same way.

If the window slope has a shallow depth, it is best to mount the guide profile on three sides - on the finished trim elements and on the frame of the double-glazed window.

After completion of work, there will be approximately a centimeter gap between the trim sheet and the outer part of the jumper. Fill it with special glue for working with drywall.

Finish the slopes at your discretion. Usually they are puttied or painted.

Adhesive method of finishing slopes

The adhesive method of finishing slopes with drywall is more difficult to implement compared to the previously considered method. For quality performance for such work, you need to have some skills to accurately ensure the slope of the surfaces.

Finishing should begin with fixing the upper slope. In this case, he will take on the functions of a "guide" for correct installation side elements.

Details according to the dimensions of each side of the slope and glue them to a previously leveled and dried surface.

In most situations, the adhesive should be applied in a continuous layer. If the surface of the substrate is even and you need to reduce the drying time of the glue, apply binder composition wide stripes. Level the trim sheets. While the glue dries, install pre-prepared props. The specific drying time of the mixture is indicated on the package. Be sure to clarify this point in a separate order.

Finishing work

Drywall slopes need to be given a more attractive and aesthetic appearance.

First of all, smooth out any bulges that appear at the points of laying the adhesive mixture with a special grater for working with drywall. Level the recesses with putty.

Cover the leveled and dried surface with a primer. Apply a double coat of primer if necessary.

If desired, the slopes can be painted. Coloring compositions are best applied with a fly brush or a special roller that can give the surface a beautiful rough structure.

The best paint option for finishing drywall - compositions on water based. Required amount layers of paint to achieve the desired shade, select individually.

On this work with slopes can be completed. Additionally, you only need to trim and plaster the space under the windowsill.

Having qualitatively designed window slopes with drywall, you will get an excellent external characteristics decorative trim and save time and budget. The finished finish will perfectly fit into any interior and will serve for many years without losing its original quality.

Repair of window openings does not end with the installation of double-glazed windows. The final stage is the formation of slopes. The most popular material options are considered to be plaster, plastic and drywall.

The use of the latter has some advantages over other types of finishes.

Drywall Features

Usually, the design of slopes with drywall is chosen by people who want to carry out repairs on their own without the involvement of experienced specialists. The result is an aesthetic appearance of the window with slopes. This is due to some of the advantages of GKL.

• Thermal and soundproof properties. If there is a desire to additionally insulate the room, you can install double slopes with a special insulating material.
• Light weight, which allows you to make only a frame for mounting without additional reinforcement.
• A perfectly flat surface when using GKL sheets contributes to accelerated finishing.

• The ability of drywall to "breathe", that is, with temperature changes or changes in humidity levels, there is no need to be afraid of deformation of the sheets.
• Environmental Safety. Even in combination with other additives, slopes are not isolated into environment harmful gases.
• As a result of the work, minimal waste is obtained.

However, the disadvantages of the material during installation work should also be taken into account:

• it is necessary to carefully handle drywall during repairs, to avoid any damage;
• need to further protect the surface from high humidity, since even moisture-resistant material will become vulnerable after some time when exposed to moisture.

Depending on the room where you want to install slopes, choose a material from a certain type:

• with an average level of humidity in the room (up to 70%), standard drywall is suitable;
• in conditions where the humidity is more than 70%, GKL with antifungal and hydrophobic additives are used;
• in conditions of increased fire hazard, gypsum boards with additives such as fiberglass and mineral wool, this option is used extremely rarely, but its no less important advantage is high strength to mechanical stress.

Slope device

Indoors, ordinary drywall is used when making slopes. If this is a damp room, it is necessary to make slopes from moisture-resistant types of plasterboard. The thickness of one sheet is 1.2 cm. The installation of drywall slopes allows you to seal the joints and insulate the room, get an aesthetic and presentable appearance of the window.

The advantages of installing slopes include speed, low cost, ease of labor, obtaining the symmetry of the window opening and insulation, and the disadvantages are a decrease in light transmission.

Preparatory stage

Installation of slopes is possible only after pre-training. For door and window openings, this process is the same. However, in the first case should be given Special attention some moments.

• The presence of communications - cables, wires. You need to put them in correctly.
• Possibility of installation additional door. It may be needed if the first door is without insulation and there is no sound insulation.

Preparation for installing slopes on window openings is as follows:

• Initially, you need to prepare the workspace. In order to make it convenient to approach the window, nearby objects must be covered to protect them from moisture and dirt, since the installation of slopes from GKL is a “wet” job.
• The base of the window reception is cleaned for good adhesion of the adhesive. Therefore, everything that exfoliates over time, falls off, falls off, then is washed with water is removed with a brush from the surface. The result is an absolutely clean base, which is carefully primed.

Tools and materials

Necessary tools and materials:

• drywall;
• adhesive solution;
• soil mixture;
• fasteners;
• thermal insulation materials;

• spatulas;
• nozzle drill;
• construction knife;
• water;
• mounting foam;
• metal profiles.

Measurements and work with the opening

It is very important to measure windows correctly. It is advisable to measure the depth of the window opening twice on each plane to make sure they are even. If the values ​​diverge, you can take the slope width equal to highest value. But each panel must be the same size.

If the slopes are located at a certain angle, then they should be equal on two sides.

To get the exact dimensions of the side panels, you can first make corner templates from the GCR.

For the installation of window slopes and finishing of doorways, general rules apply.

Operating procedure:

• distance is measured from door jamb, window frame to the corner, this procedure is done at least three times;
• the height of the rack and the horizontal length are measured, in each section the measurement is carried out separately;
• all values ​​are transferred to paper, and a drawing of all elements is made.

cutting

Drywall is easy to cut, the process includes:

• the required dimensions are transferred to the GKL plate;
• the ruler is applied to the drawn line, a knife is drawn along it;
• I put a bar under the pruning and break the sheet with a few blows along the edge, and simply cut off the bottom of the cardboard;
• cut uneven areas electric jigsaw or a hacksaw.

Mounting methods

Do-it-yourself installation of slopes is carried out in several ways:

• using mounting foam;
• putty installation;
• frame mounting;
• adhesive method.

Using one of the methods, you can do the installation yourself for all types of bases.

Mounting foam

One of the fastest and easiest slope installation procedures is the use of mounting foam. It can also be used for small gaps between the window opening and the sloping corner. But it must be remembered that in this case it is impossible to make a mistake with the amount of materials, as this will lead to deformation of the coating.

A certain order of laying slopes from GKL sheets is used:

• Surface preparation.
• The cylinder with polyurethane foam is thoroughly shaken. It is best to use compounds that are applied with a construction gun. But with a small surface area, you can do without them.
• The composition is applied in a thin layer on reverse side glued parts.
• The part is applied to the surface and immediately torn back.
• After 10 minutes, the element is finally applied to the surface vertically, then horizontally, and again vertically.
• After one day, you can start finishing.

This option is considered optimal if you have to install slopes in a short time. Foam in this case will serve as an adhesive and insulation, since it can be used to replace mineral wool.

Putty installation

The putty option is chosen when they want to make the slopes more reliable and durable.

Operating procedure:

• careful preparation of the surface, preparation of the mixture;
• applying the solution to the wrong side of the part over the entire area of ​​​​the panel;
• installation of the element on the surface, while you need to make sure that it sticks well. For better adhesion, the base is sprayed with water to moisten. And for reliability and strength of fixation, spacers are installed.

• each fragment is installed on the surface, after which it is left for two days for better setting of the solution and the base;
• execution of finishing.

The result is a reliable coating.

This method is suitable for mounting slopes on the entrance and internal interior doors from GKL.

Frame mounting

This method allows you to get a practical surface, but it is important to know that the material is fastened with self-tapping screws or dowels. Therefore, it is necessary to adhere to some rules, for example, screws must be twisted without a recess on the surface, but flush.

• you need to arm yourself wooden beams or metal profiles;
• segments are cut out of the guides, the dimensions of which were obtained during measurements;
• if necessary, the frame can be insulated with mineral wool;
• drywall elements are installed only after the crate has been created;
• self-tapping screws fix all the details to the surface.

This method is suitable when the installation of slopes is carried out in combination with cladding of adjacent walls. When working with doorways slightly reduced in size.

glue method

This installation method, at first glance, seems simple, but there are some difficulties, for example, it is necessary to observe the angles of inclination when gluing the elements. The adhesive method is recommended to be used when there is a need to maintain the original dimensions of window openings.

The advantages of the adhesive method include:

• speed of execution;
• the minimum amount of materials;
• before painting the surface, it is enough only to putty the slopes.

Slopes of plasterboard sheets are coated with glue. To prevent the adhesive composition from spreading after pressing the element to the surface, glue should be applied in a non-continuous layer on drywall.

So that the upper parts do not fall off while the glue dries, spacers are used that rest against the window sill or the floor, and drywall parts are fixed at the other end.

After installing the slopes, it may be necessary to seal the joints. In this case, acrylic sealant will come to the rescue, which allows you to protect the cracking of the seams. It can be given the desired shade with acrylic paint.

Making sloped corners

gap between wall and drywall sheet plaster. The resulting seam is processed by sheathing with reinforcing tape or mesh, and then puttied.

The corners are reinforced with a perforated corner, which is attached with a stapler.

Finishing

Finishing is necessary to give the structure a presentable appearance. For this process, you need to purchase a putty composition and paint. And you can also install profiled metal corners to prevent premature wear of drywall corners. To do this, perforated protective parts are installed on the corner slopes. To avoid voids and irregularities, the adhesive composition is applied in a thin uniform layer, as when working with slope elements.
