Drywall Knauf (KNAUF) - installation technology, specifications. New building technologies. Partitions made of plasterboard sheets (GKL)

What is the Knauf system, its advantages. The materials used in the kit, according to GOSTs. Tips for mounting various systems. Video examples of world manufacturer's systems.

Knauf wall cladding system

Drywall finishing material is widely used in repair work. They level walls and ceilings, create arches, partitions. To do the right thing, you need to follow the rules. To facilitate the work, global manufacturers produce complexes.

The Knauf system is the wall cladding most applicable by craftsmen.

Peculiarities

Working with KNAUF drywall sheets is practically the same as installing other plasterboards. However, the manufacturer produces the necessary components to create a drywall surface. All materials assembled in a wall cladding kit are called a system. This simplifies the work, because all components are made for each other. No need to think about installing non-standard additional elements.

The benefits of using technology

The KNAUF complex includes all the necessary elements for facing a wall or creating a partition. This has advantages:

use of materials High Quality that give a guarantee of a long service life;
ease of calculation necessary materials for installation;
KNAUF kit includes detailed instructions for assembly;
if you purchase GKL and accessories separately, you often forget any small parts. Everything is included in the kit.

Each design has its own purpose: ordinary partitions, double cladding, and so on.

GKL types used in KNAUF systems

GKL kit for wall cladding has the following types sheets:

Gray drywall - thickness from 9.5 mm. used in rooms with moderate humidity.
Green moisture resistant sheet - systems with such sheets are used in wet rooms.
Green with a red inscription, combined - a combination of moisture-resistant and refractory materials.

Wall cladding systems are produced according to 2 methods: frame ( metal crate from profiles) and frameless (gluing sheets to the adhesive composition).

Knauf installation technology: drywall, walls and partitions

Technology mounting Knauf not much different from the generally accepted work on wall cladding and the creation of partitions.

When assembling the structure, you must adhere to some rules:

drywall sheets are fixed on metal, wooden frame from the center or corner. This is done so that the fox does not deform. Screws NK 11 are used for fixing.
To create a strong joint between the sheets, they are mounted close to each other, without leaving a gap.
GCR is mounted so that there are no cruciform seams. Sheets on the surface must be displaced.
To use the frameless method, sheets of 12.5 mm must be selected.
For gluing sheets use PERLFIX glue. After gluing, the master has 10 minutes to level the sheet on the surface.
When laying thermal insulation material for fastening the gypsum board to the frame base, 35 mm screws are included in the kit for wooden base and 25 mm for metal profiles.
Knauf profile is cut with scissors for metal.
A soundproof tape is applied to the guide profiles before fixing.
For good sound insulation, it is necessary to retreat at least 50 mm from the draft wall to the guide.
If a partition of the Knauf system is created, with a room height of 2.80 m door leaf must be 90 cm wide and weigh up to 25 kg.

Knowing these rules, the assembled assembly will be a strong, rigid structure.

On what surfaces is cladding acceptable?

The Knauf design is applicable in various areas: walls, ceilings, floors.

Frameless method applicable for concrete, brick walls. When installing the system in this way, it is necessary to choose the right primer.

The frame method is used if the room is damp, the walls tend to get damp, there is a desire to improve sound insulation and thermal insulation with the help of additional material.

there are kits for creating suspended ceilings;
kits for working in the attic - fastening from the side of the rafters.

GKL KNAUF kits are mounted on various surfaces. Each of which has its own requirements and the implementation of certain rules.

How much does cladding cost

Knauf produces a large number of complexes applied to various surfaces with various equipment. Price policy depends not only on the complexity of the system itself ( suspended ceiling has a large number of components), but also from materials (GKL 9.5mm or 12.5 mm).

Refractory GKL has the highest cost among all sheets, and double sheathing with sheets is much more expensive than installation in one layer.

How effective is Knauf drywall / walls / partition technology: heat consumption rates

Knauf kits use heat, - soundproofing materials according to GOST 9573-96, 21880-94, 10499-95, as well as materials included in the "List polymer materials and structures approved for use in construction by the Ministry of Health of the USSR "- M. 1985. Having a conclusion on compliance sanitary standards Legislation of the Russian Federation.

To maintain the norms of heat consumption in the room, Knauf systems have materials, the calculation of which is carried out individually for each case (dry, but cold rooms, wet rooms).

The heat-insulating layer is laid only in the frame base. It is impossible to apply insulation in the frameless method.

Plasterboard wall cladding: is it possible for yourself

For the installation of the GKL system, detailed instructions are included in each kit, so it is not necessary to call the wizard. However, we must not forget that the GKL sheet has its own weight even under certain installation work it will not be easy to lift it alone with glue or to the ceiling.

Experts know the intricacies of working with various systems, this gives a guarantee not to make mistakes and get a solid durable construction.

Examples: video tutorials

The use of the frameless method is shown in the video:

Noise insulation of walls when sheathing in 1 layer on the video:

Knauf is a global manufacturer of compounds, profiles and drywall sheets widely used in various installation repair work. Knauf systems allow you to reduce the time to purchase materials, make it easier for you to do it yourself, and prevent mistakes that will subsequently affect the entire structure.

Useful video

Partitions lined with sheet materials Knauf are designed for installation in residential, public and industrial buildings.

The use of partitions according to Knauf technology in most cases turns out to be more profitable in comparison with known structures made of piece materials (brick, blocks, etc.), since the installation speed of Knauf partitions is higher, the weight is less, and wet processes are excluded.

An additional advantage of dry construction systems is the ability to quickly dismantle.

Knauf has developed a range of specialized partitions to meet the increased requirements in the field of fire safety, sound insulation, impact resistance and even X-ray protection.

The use of special systems and well-chosen types of Knauf sheets allows you to achieve high values fire resistance limit and airborne sound insulation level for different rooms.

Advantages

PARTITIONS IN TWO LAYERS ON THE FRAME

To get started, remove debris, dirt and dust from the work surface.

Mark the position of the partition on the floor, walls, ceiling. Mark openings (if required).

Glue the Knauf‑Dichtungsband sealing polyurethane tape on the back of the rack and guide profiles adjacent to the walls, floor and ceiling.

The tape is needed for a tight fit to the base and additional sound insulation.

Mount the frame of metal profiles.

KNAUF rack-mount profiles (PS) install guides (PN) in Knauf profiles vertically with a given step.

Fix the rack profiles with a cutter.

Sheathe the frame with Knauf sheets on one side.

Sheathe the frame with Knauf sheets on the other side.

Apply the Knauf-Tiefengrund primer to the drywall joints of the first layer.

Putty the joints of the first layer without reinforcing tape.

Sheathe the partition with a second layer of Knauf sheets on both sides so that the joints of the second layer do not coincide with the joints of the first layer.

If necessary, make holes for sockets and switches.

Putty the joints of the second layer using reinforcing tape.

Alfons and Karl Knauf are brothers. Both were educated as a mining engineer and, due to the nature of their activities, were particularly interested in natural material- plaster. After studying its properties, they decided to use them in order to speed up, reduce the cost and improve the quality of some construction processes.

The implementation of their project fell on time economic crisis. As if time itself helped the future bigwigs of the construction industry. In 1932 they founded the company "Reinische Gipsindustri und Bergwerksunternemen".

Having collected Required documents and having received an indulgence to develop a gypsum mine in Schengen, the brothers opened a factory in the city of Perl. They began to produce dry construction mortars based on natural gypsum for plastering surfaces.

In 1949, in the city of Iphofen, which is located in Northern Bavaria, the Knaufs established a plant for the production building mixtures based on gypsum. The headquarters of the Knauf company is currently located here. In 1958 they opened the first gypsum board factory.

During the German economic heyday, the company rapidly developed from a relatively small company into a family with subsidiaries around the world. In 1993 they begin their activities in Russia. A lot of enterprises equipped with modern equipment are opening across the country, where a single production technology and quality standard are used.

Knauf products

But Knauf does not rest on its laurels, the company is developing new projects, offering the consumer:

range of related products. The range is expanding with specialized tools, metal profiles, development of new materials;
building mixtures not only based on gypsum, but also on other innovative compositions;
special courses are held where theoretical training is carried out. Those who wish to acquire practical skills in construction and design.

Knauf enterprises produce high-quality finishing materials:

gypsum sheets;
tongue-and-groove gypsum boards;
dry gypsum and cement mixtures;
primers, other compositions for interior decoration, ready for quick use;
building chemistry;
metal profiles;
drywall sheets.

We will dwell on the last two groups of goods and tell you what drywall and Knauf profile are, about production characteristics, dimensions and installation.

Varieties of drywall Knauf

Products manufactured by this manufacturer are used to perform work on interior decoration"dry" way. It's practical and fast. Drywall sheet is classified by properties:

ordinary, some builders also call it standard,
moisture resistant
refractory.

Plain drywall

A sheet of ordinary (standard) drywall is used in rooms where the natural temperature regime is preserved and normal humidity. They can be coated internal walls living quarters, offices, enterprises.

Standard sheets in appearance differ from other types in color scheme- have grey colour and blue markings. They are not expensive and are used much more often than others.

Having studied its characteristics, we talked about them in detail in the article "", we can state that such a sheet:

not dangerous to people and environment;
helps to radically change the space and interior of the room. With the help of such a sheet, a partition, an arch, a fireplace are quickly erected;
it is perfectly lined with any finishing materials: plaster, tiles, wallpaper, paint, stone;
easy to cut and takes the required configuration.

When you plan to make repairs in your home and change the contours of its premises, you can use the following Knauf drywall sheets for walls:

Moisture resistant GKL

Sheets of moisture-resistant drywall should be used where it is intended high humidity or the room is poorly ventilated. The technical characteristics of the sheet make it possible to install additional partitions, ennoble the walls:

in the shower, bathroom;
in swimming pools and saunas;
in the toilet rooms;
in sanitary facilities.

For this work, it is better to use Knauf sheets given in the table below:

The color of the leaf is green and has blue markings.

Fire-resistant drywall sheets are used where the temperature is high and fire safety measures must be strictly observed. Specifications of the named finishing material they say that they can:

facing the walls of wooden buildings;
to carry out installation in home boiler rooms, furnaces, sanitary facilities of enterprises;
ennoble fireplaces;
sheathing the walls of evacuation exits.

For these purposes, Knauf offers the following sheets:

It differs from other types of GKLO pink and red markings.

Now that you know what types of drywall are, its dimensions, specifications, insignia, you can proceed to the next section and find out how the sheets are mounted to a vertical surface.

Metal frame elements

All metal profiles at Knauf enterprises are manufactured according to the conditions TU 1121-012-04001508-2011. These are elements of a certain length, made of steel strip using the cold rolling method on modern roll-forming machines. They are galvanized for protection against aggressive environmental influences.

With the help of such structures, a frame for sheathing is assembled, it is they who serve as a rigid base, on which drywall sheets are then laid.

Profiles have standard lengths: 2750, 3000, 4000, 4500 mm. But at the request and in agreement with the customer, their height can vary from 500 to 6000 mm.

Cutting and assembly work metal products are made using specialized tools such as electric shears, cutters, hacksaws or other devices.

The following structures are required for the frame:

rack profile. By appearance similar to the letter "C" and acts as vertical racks of the future frame. Mounted in tandem with the guide profile. You can learn about its geometric dimensions from the article "";
guide profile. This item is a P- figurative form. In the frame, it has the function of a guide for the rack profile and serves to install jumpers.
ceiling guide profile. It has the shape of the letter P. It is necessary in the frame as a guide for the ceiling profile and for mounting the jumper over the opening;
ceiling profile. It is presented in the form of a C-shaped long part, it performs the function of a vertical rack of the frame. For its fastening to the wall, a direct suspension is used, which can be fixed with screws;
screws and dowels are used as fasteners, which are described in detail in the article "";

Installation of drywall on walls using Knauf technology

Knauf brand gypsum boards are quite popular material on the Russian construction market. The technology of their installation enjoys a significant advantage over other facing building materials.

The absence of so-called wet processes during operation significantly reduces the time, installation becomes easier. With minimal labor and financial costs, a perfectly flat surface is achieved.

The designers introduced themselves unique opportunity realize your most daring projects. And the technology of laying sheets is so simple that a person far from construction can do it.

It is worth remembering that installation work must be carried out under normal humidity and temperature conditions.

Methods for installing drywall on walls

You need to know that GKL can be installed in two ways, each of them has its own technical differences:

frameless method. In this version, the sheet is simply glued to the base. But you should know that the area to be cultivated must be very even and always clean;
using a framework. It can be presented in the form of a structure made of lumber and metal. Wooden will cost a little cheaper, but it is not so convenient to use and not durable. But the metal set of Knauf profiles is widely known and popular among specialists and amateurs. All parts are produced at the drywall manufacturer and have a relatively low price.

We will dwell on this technique in more detail, reveal its technical aspects and give recommendations from the manufacturer.

According to Knauf technology, the entire process should include the following steps:

Frame preparation;
Its installation;
Sheathing the frame with sheets;

Installation work should begin before the installation of a clean floor, provided that plumbing, technical and electrical systems. Temperature regime not less than +10 °С and the humidity must be normal, these are mandatory requirements according to SNiP 23-02-2003. If a winter time- the building must be heated.

This technology makes it possible to insulate a room without problems, improve sound insulation in it, lay and hide communications, and create various structural elements.

Necessary tools for installation

Each specialist has a certain minimum of tools and devices. We recommend you standard set which you can't do without:

construction level, plumb line, hydraulic level;
screwdriver, perforator;
metal scissors, electric scissors, grinder;
mounting knife;
simple pencil;
roulette;
a thread;
sealing tape.

Installation of a metal frame on the walls

This profile is more durable and reliable. All its varieties are produced at Knauf industrial enterprises and meet the standards. The installation process undergoes quality control at all stages of work: first after the installation of the frame, then after laying drywall, then - joints and seams.

Let's mark up on the floor surface, and then transfer it to the ceiling and walls. In order to accurately install, experts recommend marking the attachment points of the rack profiles, the type and thickness of the plasterboard.
On the rack and guide profiles adjacent to the enclosing structural elements, it is necessary to stick a sealing tape or apply a special sealant composition. According to the marking signs, install and then screw the guide profiles to the horizontal surfaces of the floor and ceiling. The pitch should not exceed 1000 mm, and there should be at least 3 fasteners per profile.
According to the marking marks, fix the direct hangers to the wall using the appropriate dowels. Step no more than 1500 mm. To weaken the "sound bridges" lay a sealing tape between them.
We install the profiles in the guides and fix them with screws. Interfering ends of suspensions should be bent or cut off.

Laying drywall on a metal frame

This technology is:

We start working from the corner with a pitch for screws of 250 mm. They should be no closer than 15 mm from the edge of the transverse end, and 10 mm from the longitudinal end. If you have to double skin the surface, it is allowed to increase the step by 3 times. It is better to start from the corner of the big wall premises.
Drywall is laid on the walls in a vertical direction and in whole sheets. Small fragments are filled in later. If there is a difference between the heights of the wall and the GKL, the latter being less than the first, then segments of the guide profile are added to the horizontal joints and then the GKL is sheathed.

Docking of sheets is carried out in a run. Avoid joints at window studs or where there is a drywall doorway. As a result, a crack will definitely appear in this place. It is better to pre-install the intermediate profile and additionally fix the sheet.

The heads of self-tapping screws or screws must be well recessed into the surface by 1 mm or more. After puttying, there will be no depressions on the surface.

Moments that should not be forgotten when installing plasterboard on walls

Do not forget to leave a gap of 10–15 mm between the plasterboard and the floor, and 5 mm at the junction with the ceiling. Subsequently, it will be closed with a putty solution and will be glued with a separating tape, the edges of which will then be carefully cut off.

The outer joint corners can be reinforced with a protective perforated corner. finishing he's completely screwed up.

Where the sheet is paired with door or window frames, decorate its edges with decorative platbands when you finish.

For moisture-resistant drywall sheets, screws with a sharper cone head are used. The step is not more than 300 mm.

If there is a need to hang a hundred or on the wall, then be aware that with a weight of no more than 10-15 kg per 1 running meter wall surface, it can be fixed with special anchor bolts for gypsum boards or dowels for gypsum boards anywhere. It may not be heavy openwork shelves, cornices, paintings, sconces or others. lighting. But if you plan to use kitchen cabinets, then it is necessary to install additional embedded parts in the places of future fastening. Specialists should take care of this during the installation of a metal frame.

As soon as your walls have received a new outfit, you should start puttying, processing the joints and places where the self-tapping screws are located.
But we will talk about this in an article that will be called ";".

The concept of "dry" construction implies the design and construction of lightweight frame-sheathing structures, the installation of which requires a minimum of funds and physical effort. The German company KNAUF produces high-quality materials necessary for the performance of such work and is a kind of legislator that sets the standards for this type of activity. The Knauf system for plasterboard partitions is known to any professional builder. Now it is our turn to get acquainted with these structures in more detail.

Series of partitions (according to Knauf classification)

The company's specialists classify all frame-sheathed partitions into several standard types:

Horizontal Sectional View	Construction type
	C 111 - frame made of steel profile, sheathed with 1 layer of drywall sheets.
	C 112 - the steel frame is sheathed with GKL sheets in 2 layers.
	C 113 - a "single" frame made of steel profile is sheathed with a three-layer coating of GKL.
	C 115 - Knauf partitions of this series have a double metal carcass and 2 layers of sheathing from GKL sheets.
	C 116 - double steel frame with space for communications. The structure is sheathed with 2 layers of drywall on each side.
	C 118 - "Protection against penetration." The framework from a steel profile is sheathed by GKL in 3 layers. Galvanized steel 0.5 mm thick is laid between the sheets.
	C 121 - partition frame made of wooden beam sheathed with 1 layer of plasterboard.
	C 122 - a wooden frame with a two-layer coating of GKL.

For the outer coating of frame structures, Knauf produces a durable high-tech material based on gypsum, which does not contain toxic substances, is absolutely non-flammable and has excellent operational properties. Drywall is produced in the form of KNAUF sheets (GKL) - rectangular elements, consisting of a reinforced gypsum "core" covered with cardboard that has undergone special processing.

Depending on the application, these sheets have different properties and are divided into types:

GKL - used in rooms with normal humidity.
GKLO - has increased fire resistance. The material is used for sheathing profile partitions installed in fire hazardous rooms.
GKLV - moisture resistant material. Its cardboard coating is impregnated with a special composition.
GKLVO - combines the properties of moisture and fire resistance.

In addition to this classification, Knauf sheets have differences in the type of side edge. All features of the material are marked with a marking that is applied to each sheet.

Partition frame features

Next constituent elements frame-sheathing structures Knauf systems are metal profiles - strips of galvanized steel with a thickness of 0.5–0.8 mm. These products give strength to the frame, but do not weigh down its overall weight. Consider which profile is needed for a plasterboard partition, which will be made according to the KNAUF system:

Tool and fasteners

The design features of Knauf systems require strict adherence to all manufacturer's recommendations regarding their installation. Specialists of the company pay great attention to the characteristics and quality of the fastening material, which is used during assembly. frame partitions their drywall.

To connect the profile to each other, it is recommended to use screws (self-tapping screws) for metal LN 9 and LB 9 (piercing and drilling). For fastening Knauf sheets TN and TB type self-tapping screws 2.5–4 mm long are used. The guide profile is attached to the ceilings with simple or anchor dowels of 4, 6, 8 or 12 mm in size.

1 - LN screw; 2 - LB screw; 3 - TN screw; 4 - TB screw

The design of the Knauf system drywall partition is very simple, and for its installation it is enough to a simple tool, which is in any "home" set:

Roulette, level, plumb - for marking.
Perforator - holes for dowels that secure the guide profile.
Screwdriver - installation of the frame and fastening of the skin.
Scissors for metal - cutting the profile to size.
Construction knife - cutting drywall.

Installation steps

Knauf specialists have developed phased technology installation of drywall systems, implying a strict sequence of all work. So let's consider brief instructions for the installation of plasterboard partitions:

Markup. We mark a straight line on the floor with a dyeing cord, and then, using a plumb line or laser level, transfer this mark to adjacent walls and ceiling.
Installation of the partition frame from the profile. To the floor and ceiling, with dowels (after 80–100 cm), we fasten the PN profile. It must be fixed to the ceilings by laying sealing material. In PN we install and fasten the rack profile. The maximum distance between posts should not exceed 600 mm.
Equipment installation. AT frame structure install embedded elements (supports for cabinets, shelves, lamps, etc.). We install electrical wiring and all necessary communications.
Frame cladding. On one side of the frame for a plasterboard partition, we mount sheets, fixing them with self-tapping screws every 250 mm.
Soundproofing installation. Between the racks (as tightly as possible) we lay soundproofing material.
Full upholstery. We fix the GKL on the remaining side of the frame. If the type of partition provides for a multilayer coating, each layer of sheets must be installed, shifting it by 600 mm from the previous one.
Finishing. Having finished facing the frame, you need to putty the seams between the sheets and the caps of the fixing screws. Drywall must be primed for the final decorative finish.

This short review drywall systems developed by the famous German company Knauf, is a kind of instruction that must be followed when installing partitions. Additional questions that arise in the course of work will be carefully considered by our experienced specialists. Rest assured, we will give you the answer that will provide a "pleasant" result in such a difficult task as home renovation.

One of the most technologically advanced and economical solutions for construction or repair of an apartment is the installation of GKL sheets. With their help, you can easily fix all the defects of the walls, achieving a perfectly flat surface. GKL efficiency in manufacturing decorative elements, arches or boxes is proven by numerous design incarnations. Among the total number of manufacturers of drywall material, the German company stands out favorably Knauf whose products meet all international standards. The components used in production do not contain any toxic elements and do not have a harmful effect on human health.

General information

Gypsum board is a three-layer structure consisting of two outer layers from cardboard and internal from gypsum mixture . Depending on its composition drywall Knauf and its price are divided into:

ordinary(GKL);
moisture resistant(GKLV);
fire resistant(GKLO);
moisture resistant with increased resistance to open fire(GKLVO).

Sheet types can be easily identified by outward signs: moisture resistant varieties have green color cardboard, a ordinary – grey.

The technological composition of the first type differs from others in the presence of antifungal and hydrophobic additives, as well as special cardboard.

By appointment GCL are divided into three types:

arched– thickness 6.5 mm;
ceiling– thickness 8 mm;
wall– from 10 mm thick.

In addition, sheets may have different types longitudinal edge, which Knauf drywall installation technology used for subsequent puttying of joints.

Material dimensions rectangular shape are in length from 2,000 to 4,000 mm, and in width - 600 or 1200 mm.

Preparing for the installation of GKL

The preparatory phase includes an assessment of the work surface for installation and choice necessary tool . The company's specialists advise to prepare:

utility knife, chisel or round cutter;
, trowel and grinder;
mixing nozzle and solution container;
building level, marking cord and tape measure;
screwdriver, square;
metal scissors;
putty Knauf Fugenfuller;
self-tapping screws, suspensions;
galvanized profile or timber.

Inspection of the surface is carried out in order to determine the material of the walls and their operating conditions. After that, a specific choice of GKL and consumables is made.

Highlights of Knauf drywall installation technology

Depending on the type of construction, as well as its purpose, plasterboard sheets can be attached both on glue and on a metal or wooden frame. It must be said right away that wood is not the most the best choice especially in areas with high humidity.

The use of adhesive for fastening is permissible with wall irregularities that do not exceed 4 mm. In other cases, it is recommended to use a galvanized profile.

GKL installation option with glue

For an average room you need to prepare about 30 kg dry adhesive mixture Knauf Perlfix. It will provide reliable fastening without unnecessary structures, medium mix price for drywall Knauf – 285 rub. for a pack of 30 kg. Mounting technique sheets as follows:

pour the mixture into a container with water and mix;
cut sheets to size;
apply ready-made glue to reverse side sheet with stamps with a pitch of 350 mm;
press the sheet against the wall and level it.

Important! The mixture begins to harden after 10 minutes. During this period of time, the plates should be leveled with a rubber hammer and a beam.

Installation of plasterboard on a metal frame

This drywall installation technology Knauf company allows for high-quality insulation and soundproofing of walls. After the measurements are taken, the process is the points:

cut the starting UD profile to size;
attach the UD profile to the ceiling and floor with dowels in increments of at least 1 m;
install direct hangers for fastening the CD-profile to the wall, not forgetting to put a soundproof tape; step not less than 1.5 m;
install the CD-profile with a pitch of 600 mm and fix it with screws with direct hangers and a starting profile;
install the sheet insulation and fix it on the frame with self-tapping screws with a pitch of 250 mm.

Important! To improve sound insulation performance, it is recommended to attach a special self-adhesive tape to the UD profile. The heads of the self-tapping screws must be recessed into the mass of the plate; here it is advisable to use a special bit for a screwdriver with a limiter.

The average price of Knauf drywall sheets in the construction market

The cost of GKL, first of all, is influenced by its type and parameters. For example, the average prices for different kinds material:

ceiling 1200x2500x9.5 mm - 250 rubles / sheet;
wall 1200x2500x12.5 mm - 290 rubles / sheet;
arched 1200x2500x6 mm - 570 rubles / sheet;
GKLV 1200x2500x12.5 mm - 350 rubles / sheet;
GKLO 1200x2500x12.5 mm - 400 rubles / sheet.

When buying, you should think in advance and calculate the total amount of material, profile elements and fasteners. This will make it possible to organize a bulk purchase that will make price of Knauf drywall sheets a little lower.

conclusions

The technique of using gypsum boards in construction has a significant advantage - here there are no so-called "wet" processes, which are associated with the preparation and application of a significant amount of plaster.
The installation technology is quite within the power of any novice builder and has no special secrets; the purchase of a tool kit does not require significant financial investments.
Thus, for little money and with minimal labor costs, we get smooth and aesthetic walls, plus the possibility of embodying the most daring architectural delights.
