Gypsum cardboard in the interior

To date, in apartments with the type of layout are standard, the plan does not provide for the installation of the real fireplace, that is, a place where it can be placed. But, if you still want to make the situation in the apartment more romantic, make it more alive with flickering lights. This problem can be solved very simply, make a gypsum cardboard fireplace with your own hands. First of all, on paper, come up with a sketch for the future decoration and, using a roulette, measure the location, and reflect all the measurements in the figure. Now it will be much easier for you to calculate, the required amount of metal profile or timber. Try on how many drywall sheets you need to sheathe the frame of the new fireplace. Think about what your future fireplace will look like. If you are going to put burning candles inside it, then you need to make a sheathing of the posterior wall with heat -resistant material, and in the manufacture of a fireplace, the sheets of drywall must be primed with impregnation resistant to fire. In that situation, if you plan to make a decorative backlight in the fireplace, you will need to think in advance how it will be laid, make switches or outlet in the available zone. The next step is the cladding. You can make it with tiles or decorative plaster. You can also decorate the new fireplace with artificial stone if you have one. In places of markings, when using a profile or a beam, make a base for a new decor element in your house. It is necessary to attach racks for the direction to the base, but how many of them will directly depend on what shape the fireplace has. In addition, if provided by the project, then it is necessary to lay the wiring using a corrugated sleeve, and strengthen it. As soon as you complete the construction of the frame, you can proceed directly to the shelling of drywall with sheets. First of all, a black finish is performed, it is necessary to fully primed, its corners are quite fragile and, by negligence, they can be shut up, so they must be fixed, using the perforated corners of metal, which must be hidden under plaster. Hats of self -tapping screws are also subject to putty. In order to arrange a fireplace, you can use polyurethane moldings. The fireplace shelf will also look great, which is strengthened from above above the fireplace, where you can put small figurines, candles in very beautiful decorative candlesticks or simple table hours.
