Interior designers often use drywall when implementing their projects. This material is good in its versatility - with its help you can easily build a partition, create ceiling structures of almost any shape, make niches and level walls. GKL are quite affordable, but how much does it cost to install drywall?
Of course, as with many other works, the cost greatly depends on the region and the complexity of the structures being created. Let's give an approximate calculation of how much it costs to cover a square meter with plasterboard.
Conditions affecting the cost of installation work
Before determining even the approximate amount that working with drywall from craftsmen will cost you, you need to take into account many factors:
The cost of installing drywall varies greatly depending on the region.
- Any object (apartment, house, office) is unique, and the complexity of the work varies different rooms different. Therefore, the cost of installation will differ.
- The price depends on the number of layers of drywall when covering. Often, for strength, partitions are made of two layers, especially in apartments.
- The location of the sheathing also plays a role: for services, how much does it cost to sheathe a wall with plasterboard, and how much does it cost to sheathe the ceiling with plasterboard, the prices are different.
- Laying sound insulation into the structure before covering it with plasterboard will also affect the final price.
- If the finishers also have to bring plasterboard sheets, then this will increase the final cost. By the way, it happens that craftsmen need to make some complex forms from gypsum plasterboard, which is impossible in an apartment, as it requires special stands. In this case, transportation will be required.
- Creation of complex niches, boxes, ceiling structures requires an increase in fees, since the footage for this work is small, but high skill is required.
- Is frame installation required? Under some conditions, plasterboard sheets are attached directly to the wall.
- The thickness of the metal profile in the frame of plasterboard structures also affects the cost. As a rule, it is more convenient to work with a frame with a wide (600 mm) base, so prices are lower than for a 400 mm metal profile.
- If work is required to sew wiring into the wall and cut out holes for sockets and switches, this will be paid additionally.
- Works on final leveling putty and preparation for finishing work using a primer also need to be taken into account.
- Calculation of the average cost of plasterboard sheathing is relevant for ceiling heights of no more than three meters. If the walls are higher, the price of the work increases.
Prices for installation work
The following tables show the approximate cost of installation of plasterboard structures. These prices are valid for ceilings no more than three meters. The data is averaged for the Moscow region for 2017.
Plasterboard ceilings
The prices do not take into account the creation of complex structures, niches, or external boxes.
| Characteristics | Cost, rub./m2 |
|---|---|
| 440 | |
| 510 | |
| 530 | |
| 570 | |
| 90 | |
| 210 |
Plasterboard partitions
If you need to insert a door into a partition, then installing a finished door without inserting locks and hinges costs about 2,000 rubles.
Leveling the wall with plasterboard
The prices do not take into account the creation of complex structures, niches, arches, or external boxes.
| Characteristics | Price, RUR/m2 |
|---|---|
| Frame made from metal profile 600 mm wide, one layer of plasterboard | 430 |
| Frame made of metal profile 400 mm wide, one layer of plasterboard | 530 |
| Frame made of metal profile 600 mm wide, two layers of plasterboard | 490 |
| Frame made of metal profile 400 mm wide, two layers of plasterboard | 670 |
| Sound insulation from mineral wool, one layer up to 50 mm thick | 90 |
| Tecsound sound insulation in one layer | 210 |
Creation of complex structures
Craftsmen can complete designs of almost any complexity. Moreover, each element will increase the cost of the work.
| Characteristics | Cost, rub./linear m |
|---|---|
| Ceiling boxes of all shapes with hidden internal lighting | from 900 |
| A flat box consisting of straight lines with one height difference | 460 |
| Design complex shape on a ceiling with one height difference | 760 |
| Complex shape design on a wall with one height difference | 590 |
| Doorway | 360 |
| Window hole | 360 |
| Vertical straight angle | 360 |
Painting works
| Characteristics | Cost, rub./m2 |
|---|---|
| Priming to remove dust and give the surface good adhesion to subsequent coating layers | 40 |
| Sealing the seams of plasterboard coating with a mixture to prevent cracking of the seams | 65 |
| Gluing to protect against cracking of the seams between sheets of plasterboard with reinforcing tape | 40 |
| Putty to level the surface | 110 |
| Gluing reinforcing fiberglass over the entire area of drywall to protect the surface from microcracks | 125 |
| Sanding the putty surface to level the surface | 70 |
| Finishing putty to create a uniform surface ready for decorative finishing | 155 |
| Painting the prepared surface in one layer | 120 |
When calculating the cost of work, you need to remember that priming is done after each layer of putty.
When choosing a specialist for finishing rooms with plasterboard, give preference to trusted companies.
Calculation of the cost of materials using a specific example
Of course, you can do the work yourself. In this case, you will only have to pay for the materials.
Here approximate estimate sheathing 10 sq. m of a simple wall with a ceiling height of 2.5 meters:
| Name of material | Unit | Cost of 1 unit, pcs. | Quantity | Amount, rubles |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Drywall | Sheet 250x120 cm | 250 | 4 | 1000 |
| Profile 6 x 2.7 cm | 1pc = 3m | 139 | 7 | 973 |
| Profile 2 x 2.7 cm | 1pc = 3m | 110 | 3 | 330 |
| Ribbon | Roll 30 m | 210 | 1 | 210 |
| Suspension | PC | 28 | 20 | 560 |
| Self-tapping screws, drills, press washers | 1 kg | 260 | 2 | 520 |
| Dowels | Packing 200 pcs | 280 | 1 | 280 |
The cost of work to create such a structure by professionals will be about 4,200 rubles, that is, the cost of self-installation will decrease by approximately two times. Of course, the opportunity to save money is very tempting. However, it should be remembered that the work requires not only Consumables, but also a special tool. Therefore, if you are not confident in your abilities, then it is better not to install plasterboard structures yourself. If the attempt is unsuccessful, you will not only have to pay the finishers for the work, but also spend money on materials again.
Today, drywall is used in almost all finishing and repair work. It is considered universal, as it has excellent technical characteristics.
The consumption of plasterboard during cladding may depend on some parameters of the room itself.
Drywall appeared relatively recently. But, despite this, it has already become very popular among repairmen and builders.
It consists of several layers:
- A sheet of thick cardboard.
- Gypsum dough with various additives.
- A sheet of thick plasterboard.
Note. Thanks to this structure, the material is distinguished by its strength and practicality. The gypsum dough itself is quite fragile, but sheets of thick pressed cardboard prevent it from drying out and crumbling.
On this moment There are several types of such material:
- Wall.
- Ceiling.
- Arched.
The dimensions of the drywall sheets also differ, there are:
- 1.50x2 m.
- 2x2 m.
- 2.20x2 m.
More details about the material:
- The consumption when covering walls with plasterboard depends on these parameters.
- The thickness of wall plasterboard differs from ceiling plasterboard. The latter type of material is not too thick, since it is used to finish the ceiling, and the dimensions of the plasterboard and its thickness affect its weight.
- Arched plasterboard has a perforated structure. This is necessary in order to freely give the material the required shape. This type of drywall is quite lightweight and can often be found on the surface of the wall as decoration.
- Under the surface of such material various lighting. You can also use arched plasterboard make partitions to divide the space into functional zones.
Technical properties and indicators of plasterboard
At the moment there is moisture-resistant and fire-resistant plasterboard. An estimate for wall cladding with plasterboard involves specifying the use of one or another type of material.
Drywall is quite durable, as its surface can withstand significant mechanical and physical stress. It is very practical, as it does not require special knowledge in its installation.
There are several types of finishing for this material:
- Plastering.
- Coloring.
- Pasting.
So:
- You can use natural or artificial stone, ceramic or glass mosaic and so on.
- The service life of drywall is at least 15-20 years, but it all depends on the type of material. Thanks to the properties of the material, you can create a unique design for both wall and ceiling surfaces.
- The price of drywall depends on its type. If it combines fire resistance and moisture resistance, then the cost of the material will be high.
The plasterboard is mounted on a metal profile frame, the calculation of which is also included in the consumption of materials for cladding wall surfaces.
Why choose plasterboard for renovation work?
The main advantage of plasterboard, both wall and ceiling, is its fairly quick installation. With the help of such work, it is possible to level the surface very easily, especially if there are large defects on it.
Material Features:
- After working with drywall there is not much left construction waste, as from the use of plaster. As a result, the surface is perfectly flat and can be finished with a fine finish.
