How to make a partition in the room
During repair or when buying a new apartment, many people get the idea of redevelopment. This can be done to increase the area of individual rooms or, on the contrary, to divide one large room into two small rooms. In any case, it is quite possible to make a partition with your own hands, for this you need to follow some tips and recommendations that will be discussed in this article.
Important Partition Rules
Before you plan to do the redevelopment, it is important to know which wall is the carrier. It is this wall that should not be demolished and generally carried out with it any actions, otherwise you can pay a large fine for it. Therefore, you will have to be content with only what is allowed by the law. In particular, it is possible to install partitions in the room. Let's first understand what a partition is.
The partition is a thin pier. In some cases, it completely divides the room, and sometimes only partially obstructs some part of the room. In finished form, its thickness will reach an average of up to 12 cm. This standard sets the building material used. For example, if the partition is made of brick, then its size is 6? 12? 24 cm. Plus a layer of plaster - a wall of 10 cm comes out. But there are non-standard solutions. For example, the partition can be much thicker, as a result, it is used as shelves, but here the choice is yours.
Measure twice - cut once
The success of the future design will largely depend on accurate measurements. An important rule that applies to any type of partition is the observance of an angle of 90 ° C. If this is not achieved, the furniture will not fit snugly to the wall, and the view will be no. For correct measurement, select an anchor point. This place will be the beginning of a new partition. Then at the required distance a line or border of the partition is drawn, it is noted where exactly it will end.
To achieve an accurate vertical, you can use a plumb or building level. This operation is best performed together.
Before you start erecting a partition, check all the computational measurements, measure it twice, cut it once. It should be noted that this procedure is performed regardless of the material chosen for the partition.
