Fasteners for plasterboard: frame and types of auxiliary fasteners

In modern conditions when decorating premisesA metal profile is widely used. From it, a frame is built for plasterboard, which can be made in several levels (for example, two- or three-tier ceilings). The metal profile was used as a fastener for gypsum board for a long time, using auxiliary components: crabs, T-shaped and U-shaped connectors, suspension (straight and spring), connectors for extension.

The most commonly used part for fasteningframe under the gypsum board - this suspension is straight for CD-60. With it, the profile is fixed to the wall or ceiling. The extension connector is used to fasten two or more profiles to one. The crab is used for "splicing" the building profile at a right angle. When you need to create a framework for gypsum board in two or more levels, use a U-shaped connector. Suspension with a spring is used to fix the profile to the ceiling.

Some of the described details, for example,extension and T-connector, are used by builders extremely rarely. But without such mounting elements, as self-tapping screws and dowels, quality fasteners for drywall are hard to imagine.

There are several types of clamping fasteners for the building profile:

1. Self-tapping screws for metal. Used to mount drywall to the profile. Usually, self-tapping screws 25 mm long are used.

2. LM self-tapes (bugs, fleas). It is these small screws that connect the profile with the hangers, etc. The fastener for gypsum board assumes the use of auxiliary parts (crabs, hangers, connectors). All these details are attached to the profile by screws LM.

3. Quick installation (dowel-nail). It is used to install a guide profile. Under the pressure of the nail, the plastic part of the quick assembly breaks, tightly pressing the profile against the wall.

4. Press washer. It is also used for joining building profiles with each other. It is a replacement for the LM self-cutter in the manufacture of external works.

5. Self-tapping screws for wood. They are used for fixing a building profile to gypsum walls (gypsum partitions), as well as for the construction of a frame from wooden blocks and fixing plasterboard to them. They are also used to connect sheets of drywall with each other. Due to the wide turn of the screw, the wood screw perfectly fastens the plasterboard slabs.

When installing drywall one of the most urgentissues are the correct thermal insulation of the room. Manufacturers of building materials provide a wide choice of thermal insulation: expanded polystyrene plates, foam plastic, mineral wool, polymeric heat reflectors. Fasteners for thermal insulation can be of different types, depending on the thermal insulation material used.

Quality fixture for plasterboard isan important component of repair and construction work and a guarantee of their high quality. However, do not forget that the level of professionalism of construction workers is also of great importance.
