Finishing methods
The use of this material can be carried out in frame or frameless way. The first technology involves the fixing of drywall using a frame made of wooden slats or metal profiles. The disadvantage of this method is the reduction of the usable floor space, which is explained by the rather large thickness of the structure. The advantages of the frame method include the possibility of laying additional insulation.
Frameless technology involves the use of construction glue in the installation process. To do this, you must first prepare the wall surface, after which sheets GLA are attached to it.
