Renovations are synonymous with headaches and stress for everyone, there is no doubt about that, and when the renovation is only for aesthetic reasons, we try to postpone as much as possible to avoid the inconvenience that these small constructions bring us, and the worst consequences of this, detested by all it is the dirt and mess that make a point of spreading throughout the entire house, throughout the entire period of the work. Thanks to the new technologies that civil construction has gained, this situation is only experienced by those who want to. All this inconvenience caused by the construction of walls gave rise to the drywall, which is nothing more than “dry walls”.
How to Use Drywall in Renovations
This structural system is gypsum board bolted to galvanized steel structures and can be exchanged for masonry walls in complete safety, in addition to having surfaces that accept any coating, from paint to tiles and ceramics, drywall has many advantages over walls that we use the most, with greater thermal and acoustic comfort and can be ready quickly, reducing the time of the work.
Drywall can also be used on the ceiling, and is ideal and most suitable when you have a lighting project that consists of recessed LED lights, recesses and lowering.
Some examples of how drywall can be used:
niches
It is very common to see niche environments in decoration, it has a great aesthetic effect, in addition to being useful and acceptable in any space. They are easily built with drywall allowing for several models, square, vertical, horizontal tapes.
Here used in the toilet; the wall, in addition to allowing the niches, hides the toilet’s hydraulic system.
In this project, drywall was used in the fireplace and covered with stones, allowing a space for niches on the side and also used on the ceiling.
TV Panel
A little different from the decorative panels we’ve seen in stores, drywall also develops the function of hiding electronic wires, such as TV, DVD, home teather, air conditioning, among others, but creating a false wall.
In the space below, drywall was used as a wall but with a difference: hiding a column. The various columns of different widths camouflaged the structural column and stood out in the room, giving it a modern look.
