Everyone who wanted renovated apartment at least once wondered: did I have to break this wall, but not for me to move this wall two meters to the right and at an angle of 45? Issues relating to various building codes and approvals, I will not be considered here, since this topic is not for an article, but for the whole book, but we assume that all the cherished paper with signatures and seals in your pocket, all hinder the flight of your imagination partitioning demolished and left only to start the construction of new ones. The first thing to understand what you need from your walls. Will it simply partition separating one room from another, or something more. Do you need heat and sound insulation or not, whether it is in your wall niche or arched doorway. Or maybe you put a sliding door and want to make it goes inside the wall, or you can not imagine my life without regular exercise, but do not know whether it is possible to fix a horizontal bar or wall bars to your new partition or not. And so on ... Warm wall insulation walls relevant for those who live in the corner apartment where the two walls of the room are a facade, or in case of any defects in the facade, because in a normal house, built in compliance with all building codes and without breaking technology, these problems have it should not. So, insulate should, obviously, only the exterior walls. In commonly used as insulation glass wool, mineral wool or polystyrene foam. Then cover the insulation gypsum plasterboard, fixed to the frame in one or two layers. Mineral wool and wool have approximately the same heat-conducting properties. There is a prejudice against the glass and mineral wool as harmful to health, but it is not. Actually harmful to breathe microparticles, which in the form of dust present in the air during installation of mineral and glass wool. Therefore, when working with them, you must use a respirator. Once the heater is closed plasterboard, it poses no danger, moreover, it is absolutely non-combustible material. The best-known brands in the Moscow market of building insulation materials of glass and mineral wool are ISOVER, ROCKWOOL, URSA. Polystyrene foam insulation is more effective, because it has lower thermal conductivity. The disadvantages of polystyrene can be attributed higher compared with the mineral and glass wool price, and that it is a moderately flammable material. When the walls of polystyrene foam insulation is desirable to use the brand with the addition of flame retardant - a substance that reduces its flammability. Whispering Wall If you want peace and quiet, but cheerful neighbors organize every day a party, or you have a desire to establish a home theater in the living room and in the next room is a nursery, you just need to soundproof the walls. In principle, materials and technologies used for soundproofing, rather like insulation, but there are some differences. When soundproofing walls and partitions, use a combination of materials of different densities. For example, mineral and glass - as a material with low density, and as cladding panels to the frame attaches no plasterboard and gypsum, having a higher density. There are others, including specialized, sound-proof and sound-absorbing materials, but their major shortcoming is its very high price. Do not forget that in the heat, and sound insulation you have to sacrifice the size of the apartment, because the thickness of the walls will rise at least 6 cm Everything said about the soundproofing is true of any of the partitions, which are now and will be discussed. Types of partitions plasterboard partitions and gypsum sheets I have considered, will add only that they are very handy for creating curved surfaces, different niches, columns, arches, etc. The important point is the fact that they are fast to install and does not require plastering. Inside these walls is able to contain electrical, telephone and Internet wiring, antenna cable. A drawback of such barriers is the inability to mount a single-layer septum heavy objects. But there are several options - the use of lining in two pieces on each side, laying wooden beams in the metal U-shaped rack cage partitions and mount the plywood on the frame before installing the drywall sheets. The partition of brick. The most traditional. Brick walls in the apartment is better to use ceramic, Solid or hollow. Brick is good for the erection of partition walls, which will be hung something heavy (eg, two-piece oak sliding door). In such a wall as easily equip niches, arches, etc. The disadvantage of the brick walls is required before final plastering of the surface finish and longer erection, compared with other technologies. Partition of silicate and porous concrete blocks. These walls are constructed much faster than brick, but plastering the surface as necessary. Partition of gypsum partition gypsum board. This is a very comfortable material, the walls are built of it very quickly, do not require plastering and ready for final finishing. Unfortunately, expanded clay, foam concrete blocks, gypsum partition boards have some limitations in terms of design, but, as practice shows, such problems are rare. All of the above types of barriers are incombustible and have good sound quality. Costs of various types of walls without plastering and filler (material / work in the rub. For 1m2): Brick (in a half-brick) - 330/350 concrete blocks and gas silicate blocks - gypsum partition boards 300/300 - 330/300 Sheetrock (1 layer) - 235 / 350 Make a smooth wall is important to bear in mind that for gypsum partition boards and drywall plastering is not required. But the brick, expanded clay and foam wall grout and we shpatlyuem. In my opinion, better use of stucco. It is, of course, more expensive than ordinary cement-sand mixture, but it has undeniable advantages to it: much more convenient to use, dries faster, has better adhesion and allows for smoother surfaces, which will then save money on expensive fillers. Do not forget that putty for painting more than a wallpaper. When putty for painting it is desirable to put on the wall putty finish with a very small fraction of the filler: 0,1 mm - is the maximum, and preferably even smaller. Gypsum plasters and fillers are available on our market brands KNAUF, VETONIT, CONSOLIT, Eunice, was a prospector, Bolars. Now, when we got flat and smooth walls, came the big moment - what kind of finish to choose. Options here quite a lot, and tell in detail about each as part of the article is impossible, but worth list: papering, papering under painting, painting a simple, colorful and immiscible multi-color paint, decorative painting, Venetian plaster, cladding panels made of various materials, decorative stone (for the latter two types of wall finishing putty is not required) and others. The choice in this case for you. Own experience I can tell you that the most important common intelligible conception of the project and the quality of its implementation. Conclusion: A few tips if you do not really trust the builders and are afraid that they use cheaper materials than specified in the budget, it is in the process of raising the walls on several occasions to appear in the apartment. Distinguish, for example, more expensive and high-quality gypsum partition plate of well-known brands from the cheaper plate "no name" is very hard (about the brick, concrete block and concrete blocks and we are not talking). But see what the workers and shpatlyuyut plaster your walls, it is quite real. The difference in price for these materials from different manufacturers is very important. When soundproofing walls is very important that between a skeleton for gypsum sheets and the floor, ceiling and walls were glued elastic band. If you do not, your wall will be a great resonator for subsonic noise that is transmissible through the ceiling. Outer corner of a wall or partition must be closed by special plaster corner to avoid damage. Many worried about the practicality of a wall covering - the possibility of easy cleaning from pollution, durability and ease of repair. Obviously, the most practical are strong and smooth coating (as opposed to brittle and texture). When repairing the damage or that most problems can arise with the restoration of surface texture and decorative painting. And last, I might add, just in case: after repairs be sure to save one roll of each type used wallpaper.
