The curvilinear forms and ceiling bends made of gypsum plasterboards widely have entered design of modern construction and finishing. The technology of curve of figured elements is not really difficult, but requires accuracy and attention. Despite material durability, it has plasticity in damp state that expands architectural opportunities.

It is required to you

Instruction

1. Use hypocardboard sheets which width no more than 60 centimeters. At the same time you remember that at thickness of 12.5 millimeters, the minimum bend radius is 1000 millimeters. If uses gypsum cardboard with a section of 9 millimeters, respectively, curve equally to 500 millimeters. With reduction of thickness the radius decreases.

2. Prepare template on which will occur it is flexible gypsum plasterboard. For this purpose cut sidewalls which will provide necessary radius. Make form less than the original. On gypsum cardboard mark and cut from it spacing plates which will determine surface width. Collect design by means of screws and wooden bars.

3. Roll the compressed party of leaf the needle roller. Put leaf on laying. The pinned side has to be top. Important that water has not got on the return surface that can lead to ruptures of cardboard.

4. Wet brush or sponge gypsum cardboard. Do it until water does not cease to be absorbed.

5. Fix preparation on template. Its center has to coincide with axis of template and bend in form. Fix the ends of leaf by clips. Adhesive tape record bend of leaf and remove from template for drying.

6. Mount curved profiles for creation of load-bearing framework. Establish on it curved plasterboard preparation. Record it struts between floor and cardboard. For this purpose use wooden bars.

7. Fix leaf on framework by means of the self-cutting screws. You fix self-tapping screws from the middle to edges of preparation. Close up seams, I use painting adhesive tape and putty. If you have need, zashpatlyuyta all surface of product.

8. Trace that front part of leaf was visible surface. At first sight difficult procedure will turn out simple, but takes a lot of time.
