Plasterboard finishing of concrete stairs. Sheathe a metal staircase from below with wood How to close a staircase to the second floor with plasterboard

Staircase sheathing is carried out various materials... All the steps necessary for this can be easily done by hand. Finishing work will help you to give your home an aesthetic look and beauty, which was previously spoiled by the appearance of a metal staircase.

Finishing of a metal staircase is possible with various materials. In this situation, you can sheathe:

  • tree. The best breeds there will be oak or ash. Just remember that before sheathing, the tree should be treated with a special solution that prevents the appearance of processes that destroy it in the wood;
Wood paneling Plasterboard finishing
  • drywall. This is the most popular option and is most often used for finishing metal stairs. With such material, you can design any functional or decorative elements... Most often they are made at the bottom of the stairs;
  • MDF plates. Decorating a metal staircase with such a material is also quite common. But it will have a simpler look compared to drywall.

These three materials are the most common finishing materials. However, sometimes staircase sheathing is carried out and plastic panels... But they are less durable and more easily damaged than the above materials.

Benefits of using drywall

Plasterboard sheets are most often used today for finishing works do it yourself. This is due to the fact that such material has a number of features and advantages that wood and MDF do not have.
The advantages of plasterboard cladding include:

  • environmental friendliness of the material;
  • high strength;
  • easy and quick installation;
  • the ability to create the most original and unique designs;
  • possibility exterior decoration drywall with various materials - paint, plaster molding, wallpaper, etc.

Plus, such a cladding will cost much less than using wood and will have a more beautiful appearance than when using MDF.

Choosing a design

With handrails and steps

The staircase in the house can be not only a purely functional element, but also act as some decoration of the room. Therefore, when choosing a design for its design, it is worth considering all the nuances in order to sheathe it as high quality and beautiful as possible.
Note! Correctly selected staircase finishes will help you hide all the flaws it has.
Today there are the following options design stairs:

  • construction with steps and railings;
  • construction without railings.

Without railings

Depending on the initial design of the staircase, its finishing is possible as follows:

  • with a storage room under the steps. A more functional solution, since in such a pantry you can store many different things that are necessary in everyday life. Such a device is only possible when the ladder is extended;
With pantry No pantry
  • no storage room. Simple design option. It is impossible to design a pantry here, since such stairs have a swirling device, where each loop is located above the previous one.

Also, instead of a pantry under the steps, you can make a decorative niche, which will give the hunky a more sophisticated look.
As you can see, there are several options. design solutions for stairs. And each of them has its own characteristics and functionality. Therefore, before choosing a design type, consider all the pros and cons of the chosen design.

Draw

After choosing the type of design and cladding material, it is necessary to evaluate all the nuances of the upcoming work using a drawing. This is very important stage, which will allow you to think over all the details with maximum precision and efficiently cope with the upcoming process.
To develop a drawing, you need to do the following calculations:

Ladder drawing
  • measure the length and height of the structure;
  • it is necessary to measure the width of the steps and the distance between them;
  • we determine the height of the railing. For an adult, they can be about 1 meter high. But there are children in the house, then the railings should be equipped with additional protective elements, which are located in the vertical plane. Here you need to determine the step between these elements so that children cannot fall into the space between them.

Display all these calculations to scale on a piece of paper, and you will have a drawing.
Next, you need to apply sheathing elements and attachment points to it. This will make it clear how many materials you need, and also a clear plan for further actions will form in your head.

Choosing tools

To sheathe a ladder with your own hands from a set of tools, you will need:

  • screwdriver or drill with a set of drills;
  • building level;
  • tape measure, regular pencil and marker;
  • corners;
  • plumb lines and ruler;
  • non-woven fabric;
  • a set of spatulas;
  • scissors for metal and a knife for working with drywall.

In case of a shortage of some tool, you can always ask your friends, neighbors or buy it in a hardware store.
From the list of materials you should have at hand;

  • sheets of drywall or other finishing material;
  • metal profiles. To create a frame, you can also use wooden slats;
  • fasteners - screws, dowels, screws;
  • serpyanka;
  • putty;
  • primer.

After preparation necessary materials and tools, you can start finishing the stairs.

Start faster - finish earlier

Decorating stairs with plasterboard or any other material with your own hands consists of two main stages:

  • arrangement of the stairs itself;
  • balustrade design.

Let's consider each of these stages in more detail.

Start of registration

Plating the staircase itself is a very meticulous process that requires concentration and close attention. The instructions below will help you effectively and efficiently cope with the required amount of work.
To sheathe the stairs, you need to do the assembly and sheathing of the frame.

Ladder frame

Note! Without frame decoration staircase construction drywall sheets will be impossible.

This requires the following manipulations:

  • first, at the bottom of the stairs, on the floor, we make markings for the profile;
  • along the marking line, set the starting profile around the entire perimeter. The step of fixing the dowels here is 10-15 cm;
  • when the perimeter is completed, we begin to display the frame in height. To do this, insert the rack rails into the starting profile;
  • each rack profile must correspond to the level of either a step or a balustrade;
  • the rack profiles must also be fastened together with longitudinal jumpers. This will increase the rigidity of the structure and make it more durable.

Note! The frame should contain the foundations for all planned elements: balustrades, niches, storage rooms, etc.

After the construction of the frame, it is necessary to sheathe it with sheets of drywall. Here, the finishing is carried out as follows:

  • cut sheets into required sizes... Since the staircase has multilevel elements, you will have to cut a lot. Cut very carefully so as not to damage the sheets;
  • pieces of sheets must be exactly fitted to the parameters of the frame in each specific place;
  • sheathing begins with the largest and most voluminous pieces. Therefore, you need to follow from top to bottom. Usually the smallest pieces are attached from below;
  • drywall is attached to the profiles with self-tapping screws in increments of 10-15 cm.

Sheathing with sheets

Try to sheathe the structure so that there are no gaps between the sheets. They should fit as tightly as possible to each other.
After the staircase has been sheathed, we proceed to the formation of the balustrade.

We design a balustrade

The balustrade is not only decorative decoration stairs, but also serves as a safety element, especially for children. Usually it is constructed only from the side that faces the observer. The other side can be simply finished with any material you like.


Balustrade on the stairs

The installation of such an element is also determined by the perspective of the structure, what kind of interior is there, etc. Therefore, in some situations, the balustrade may not be made.
In the absence of a balustrade, the corners of the structure are closed with a perforated corner.

The final stage

After all the above steps have been completed, we install the railings and carry out the final finishing:

  • on the joints of the plates we glue the serpyanka, and we process the corners with non-woven fabric;
  • putty all the joints of the plates and screwing in the self-tapping screws;
  • we clean all the irregularities and prime the structure.

Now you can give the staircase, sheathed with your own hands, the final appearance. Most often it is painted dark or light colors paints, depending on colors interior, or trimmed with wood and fake diamond... You can also use plaster moldings.
By following the instructions above, the staircase will be finished quickly, efficiently and efficiently. She can become a real treasure of your interior, and the result will satisfy you 100 percent. And all this will be possible thanks to unique properties drywall, excellent for finishing.

In country and private houses, especially two-story houses, you can almost always find a staircase. It is often made of metal and does not look very attractive. Moreover, this design is not very safe. This issue is especially relevant if there are small children in the house. Therefore, many owners decide to sheathe it.

Decorating stairs with plasterboard or any other material with your own hands consists of two main stages:

After the staircase has been sheathed, we proceed to the formation of the balustrade.

We design a balustrade

The balustrade is not only a decorative decoration of the stairs, but also serves as an element of safety, especially for children. Usually it is constructed only from the side that faces the observer. The other side can be simply finished with any material you like.

Balustrade on the stairs

The installation of such an element is also determined by the perspective of the structure, what kind of interior is there, etc. Therefore, in some situations, the balustrade may not be made.
In the absence of a balustrade, the corners of the structure are closed with a perforated corner.

The final stage

After all the above steps have been completed, we install the railings and carry out the final finishing:

  • on the joints of the plates we glue the serpyanka, and we process the corners with non-woven fabric;
  • putty all the joints of the plates and screwing in the self-tapping screws;
  • we clean all the irregularities and prime the structure.

Now you can give the staircase, sheathed with your own hands, the final appearance. Most often it is painted with dark or light paint colors, depending on the color scheme of the interior, or trimmed with wood and artificial stone. You can also use plaster moldings.
By following the instructions above, the staircase will be finished quickly, efficiently and efficiently. She can become a real treasure of your interior, and the result will satisfy you 100 percent. And all this will be possible thanks to the unique properties of drywall, perfect for finishing.

Metal stairs are characterized by durability and reliability, however, their appearance does not always match the chosen design of an apartment or house. Finishing of metal stairs is carried out specifically in order to allow modern materials to turn an ordinary staircase structure into a "work of art".

Finishing metal stairs: options, tips and instructions. How to finish with your own hands.

Finishing staircase structures is a rather complicated process, but it is even more difficult to choose a material for this, many characteristics must be taken into account:

  • Reliability;
  • Durability;
  • Security;
  • Silence;
  • Stylistics and design.

Actually, the staircase sheathing is decoration design, which should, in the end result, combine the optimal performance characteristics and stylish design harmoniously combined with the interior.

Metal tends to wear out over time, especially in the places of welds, and therefore it is recommended to carry out finishing work at the initial stage of installation of the structure.

Finishing the metal frame of the stairs will protect the metal from corrosion.

Finishing metal stairs

Depending on each specific interior and the purpose of the staircase, depending on the availability of financial capabilities, finishing can be carried out:


It is the material chosen for finishing the stairs that will largely determine the final appearance of the structure, and its comfortable use.

The metal frame can be sheathed entirely with one material, but often they are made with a combined finish, from two or more materials.

Metal frame stairs

Modern home interior or country cottage it is hard to imagine without a staircase that will make an expressive, stylish accent on the chosen style.

Metal stairs, finished with forged elements or noble wood species create a respectable appearance to the design. Modern technologies make it possible to combine metal, with any chosen material, open up space for the author for the "flight" of imagination.

The metal frame of staircase structures is a universal basis, since almost all are suitable for it possible types finishes.

Metal frame stairs have a number of design features which must be taken into account before starting finishing work:

The choice of material for cladding a staircase depends primarily on the location of the staircase and its purpose. Also, the style of the interior is of no small importance, because the staircase should, as a result, fit harmoniously.

The surface of a metal staircase can be finished completely or partially with wood, or a combination of any other materials: laminate, drywall, etc. For "budget" execution, in order to save money, the stringers can be simply painted.

Wood can only be used for sheathing steps and risers, and glass and glass can be used as fences and railings. forged elements, or drywall. However, when choosing a laminate for such purposes, it is worth Special attention to give the class of strength and wear resistance, 31 class is best suited for sheathing stairs.

Laminate

Using laminate flooring, as a finishing material, you will also need special corners and strips that will be attached to the steps and frame. The corners of the material will be mounted to the long side of the tread, and the strips are used for the end part. The corners and strips are simply attached to the metal frame with glue, however, if already installed wooden steps- it is necessary to use self-tapping screws with drowning heads.

Sheathing the steps with laminate, for treading you will need to take a solid bar, but when starting to finish the risers, the material will need to be cut to size using a jigsaw. Instead of end strips, you can use an ordinary plinth, and the corners can be metal, so the material will hold much longer and more reliably.

At the stage of designing a staircase, it is necessary to think in advance and calculate the type of fence, size and all additional details, as well as to first consider the options for finishing the stairs.

Drywall

Gypsum like modern material finishes, every day it becomes more and more relevant, however, it is necessary to carry out the sheathing of the stairs exclusively on top of the wood. This is due to the fact that drywall will not withstand constant permeability and will quickly become unusable (it will sell out, dents and cracks will appear).

Initially, plywood is laid, or only on the tread and metal carcass, or immediately on all the elements of the steps and only after that the entire structure is sheathed with plasterboard.

Laminate is often used for sheathing the outer side of the stairs, this option is one of the inexpensive and uncomplicated self-fulfillment.

It is completely easy to do the cladding of the staircase structure with your own hands, however, it is recommended to think over the style and possible variant even at the design stage of the staircase, in order to take into account all design features in advance.

In order for the finish to last as long as possible, it is necessary to choose the right fasteners for the structure:

  • Glue;
  • Self-tapping screws;
  • Screws.

There are two main ways to mount the selected material to the staircase:

  1. Directly onto the staircase frame.
  2. Using special metal studs.

It is important for finishing work to competently prepare the surface on which the material will be laid:


How to sheathe a metal staircase with your own hands. Video

An important argument when choosing a material for sheathing stairs is the way to implement the plan, whether the finishing will be done by hand and whether it is possible to do it with home tools.

For self-plating stairs, it is best to use wood, which will go well with the metal frame. This combination of materials brings together many advantages:

  • Sleek design.
  • The ability to make a staircase of any design and style.
  • Ability to withstand heavy loads.
  • Wear resistance and durability (metal frame).
  • Comfort and convenience when moving (wooden steps).

To trim stair steps wood, it is best to use solid wood beams or special MDF overlays.

For metal frames, several basic methods of installing a finish option are used:


When finishing the staircase, you need to start with the riser, and then go directly to the steps, thus, the material will look much neater.

In addition to interior cladding staircase structure, it is also necessary to perform the external one, on the back of the bowstring.

It should be said that for stairs without stringers or for forged stair structures, external finishing is not needed.

  • For exterior decoration, it is necessary to mark the attachment points on the metal frame.
  • Install the boards so that their edges go into the middle of the frame.
  • Fasteners are made with self-tapping screws, and then, for a perfectly flat surface, cover all the holes with mastic, putty or glue.

Stylishly executed finishing of metal staircase structures will give a more elegant look and an atmosphere of comfort and coziness.

In order for staircases and Decoration Materials served, as long as possible you need to adhere to simple rules for care and maintenance.

A plasterboard staircase can be an original decoration solution in the house. This does not mean that such an important structure will be assembled from such a fragile material, but as an option for decorating an interfloor rise, with which you can make it a single element of the interior. In order to sheathe a staircase with plasterboard, you will need knowledge about safety requirements, and, of course, about the technology of work.

Decoration and design of plasterboard stairs

Typically in additional finishing need staircase structures assembled in the form of a base from metal elements. Full-fledged wooden options and will fit so perfectly into general renovation but, a frame can be created from wood.
Why plasterboard stairs can be counted a good option finishes? The reasons are as follows:

  1. , and fasteners will be much cheaper in comparison with other materials: metal, wood, tiles.
  2. This type of finishing is quite easy to do with your own hands, and in a very short time to "put into operation" the finished object.
  3. Plasterboard sheathing can be decorated in any way, creating a stucco molding, textured surface, marble imitation and others.

    An example of sheathing stairs with drywall sheets

  4. By using simple technologies plasterboard processing, staircase finishing can be performed in the form of non-standard curved shapes. Moreover, in comparison with wood or metal, such work does not require the presence of complex processing equipment, with which it is impossible to work with your own hands.
  5. The durability of the mounted plasterboard staircase in compliance with the technology and rules will not be inferior to analogues.
  6. What should be considered when working with such a material, creating structures for use in specific conditions? How to sheathe a staircase with your own hands with drywall so that it serves reliably long term, and comply with safety standards, and would have original design?

    Rules to be followed

    Stairways in a private house are used quite often by all family members.


    The option of decorating the fence on the stairs with plasterboard

    And, in addition to the most aesthetic side, the practical component is very important, and even more so the safe one. Before sheathe the stairs with plasterboard with your own hands, you will need to understand many rules with their obligatory observance:

    Planning and design

    So, having, for example, a base made of metal or wood with steps, you need to finish it, you need to start with planning and taking into account the requirements for such structures.
    In addition to the design itself according to safety rules, the flight of stairs must have a fence on which, for ease of use, railings are mounted.
    Of course, with interior design It is often possible to see the presence of flights of stairs without railings, but whether such structures are used depends on the owner of the house. Safe use such a march is not guaranteed.

    The name of the elements of the plasterboard stairs


    Observing the requirements of the rules and regulations, the height of the fence on the stairs in the house must be at least 900 millimeters. In the case of small children in the house, their indicator is necessarily 1180 mm.

    If the ascent along the march is carried out along the wall, as a rule, one fence is bypassed, but with a march width of more than 1250 mm, it is imperative to install the railing on the other side, for more convenient use.

    Diagram with the dimensions of the handrail for the stairs




    And also if a handrail is made along the wall, then it is placed from the plane at a distance of at least 40 mm. All these parameters should be taken into account before finishing the staircase with plasterboard and creating a railing from it.

    Materials and tools

    The list of materials and tools is standard:


    The list of tools is as follows:

    1. Drill.
    2. Screwdriver.
    3. Roulette.
    4. Bits.
    5. Drills (if needed).
    6. Spatulas.
    7. Mixer attachment.

    How to finish the stairs with plasterboard?

    Work technology

    So, the following elements can be built from drywall on the staircase: railings with fences, partitions under the march, finishing the span from the sides and filing with sheets from the bottom.


    Diagram with dimensions for installation of handrails

    Railings

    Under the railing, you need to build a frame, which will then be sheathed with plasterboard.

    An example of sheathing and decoration of handrails with plasterboard

    First, depending on the type of fence, guide profiles are attached to the staircase itself.

    If it is metal, you must first drill holes for self-tapping screws for fixing. The fixing pitch of the guide profile must be up to a maximum of 200 mm.

    Secondly, the base racks are installed, which are inserted into the rails and connected to them.


    Diagram for attaching the railing to the stairs

    Thirdly, the racks are connected on top with another guide profile. Be sure to mount crossbars to the frame. It is worth remembering that large quantity uprights and cross members will make the whole structure more rigid. If it is planned to install wooden handrails, it is worth making a bookmark in the base of the metal profiles from timber for the installation of this element. After assembly, the base is sheathed with plasterboard along standard scheme.
    Watch the video: plasterboard stair railings.

    Finishing the stairs from below and from the sides

    For this type of design, you will also need a crate, assembled from guides and rack parts.
    The crate is made from below, as on the ceiling of the room.


    Similar structures are built from the side. flight of stairs... If the span itself is made of wood, with flat planes, you can make the cladding directly to the surface.

    Partitions

    This element in its structure is no different from the assembly of walls and. They adhere to the same algorithm, with mortgages for door spans, and.
    Wall decoration along the flight of stairs is also carried out along standard technology, with the assembly of the battens connected to load-bearing wall... Finish with the same materials - and the entire surface.


    Plasterboard decoration and design of stairs and railings




    The decoration is done according to the prepared drywall. For this, the entire range of finishing works is preliminarily carried out with the initial sealing of the joints, and further putty. The decor of a plasterboard staircase can be made in the general style of the room design. There is nothing difficult in making such stairs with your own hands, it is only important to properly plan the work and purchase the necessary materials.

In this master class, we will talk about how to mount drywall on inclined planes. You will learn about the professional intricacies of such an installation, as well as how to save time and get the job done right. Detailed photos for each process, they will make the explanation as clear as possible.

The structure of the frame and sheathing of angular converging planes does not differ from straight sections according to the principle of connections. Detailed information about the basics of installation drywall sheet(GKL) you can find in the previous article.

In our case, plasterboard cladding is required attic floor a multi-gable roof with many large kinks that follow the lines of valleys, ridge and slope junctions. Inside there is a vapor barrier and a crate, to which U-shaped suspensions for the profile will be attached.

For work you will need standard set instrument - tape measure, level, hydro- or laser level, screwdriver with bits for gypsum board, grinder. Since you have to screw the screws into hard-to-reach places, we recommend using an angle adapter.

Inclined frame device

The first thing to do is to mark the horizon line of the ceiling in those places where the plane alignment is provided.

After marking the horizon, we fasten the P-suspension and pull the cords for the CD-profile.

In our case, a round luminaire with a diameter of 300 mm will be mounted in the ceiling, therefore, when installing the frame, it is necessary to leave space for it.

It is more convenient to cut the profile in place, since it is easier to set a solid guide than to fit short sections.

Note. On sections of a straight ceiling, in accordance with the requirements for gypsum board frames, only the CD profile is used as load-bearing ribs.

After leveling the frame and installing the sheets on a straight ceiling, we measure out the place where the sheets meet and draw a straight line (red in the photo). This is done using a long rule - the plane is selected with a margin for the thickness of the CD-profile. Then we attach the UD guide to the straight ceiling profile.

Then we mark and fasten the P-suspensions so that they fit under the straight edges. In the oblique UD-profile, insert the extreme CD-edges, which will serve as beacons. We fix them at the edges and stretch the cords.

Docking of the guides is carried out only in the area of ​​the P-suspension. The profiles must fit into each other; for this, the edges must be trimmed.

Both planes of the ceiling are joined at the inner obtuse corner. At the mating point, there must be reinforcements from the paired UD profile.

To do this, the edges of the frame must be free at the edges. Carefully trim the CD-profile of the ribs in place with a grinder (scissors deform the ends).

Install the rest of the edges and put the UD-guide on their free ends, check and adjust the plane according to the rule.

Parallel to the aligned corner guide, close to it, set the UD guide (beacon) of the mating plane.

Using the rule and the cords, we expose the opposite (reciprocal) CD-beacon on the suspensions and stretch the cords. Filling interior space the inclined plane should be done according to the standard technology for installing the gypsum board.

Attention! Position the edges so that the GKL sheet naturally fits the lower plane of the wall. Subsequently, it will be compressed by a horizontal strip, which will give additional strength.

Overhanging mates (valleys) must necessarily have a reinforcement perimeter of UD guides.

The use of foam is justified in all areas of work with inclined planes. The wider it is applied, the more reliable the fixation of P-suspensions is. This is especially important at the junctions to stone walls.

Finished frame type:

Sheathing the frame with drywall sheets

Since the size of the sheet is extremely difficult to measure with accuracy, we trim in place. To do this, we cut out sheets with a margin of 20-30 mm and attach them to one of the planes.

Then we hem the sheets of the conjugate plane to it end-to-end and trim the stock in place.

Before installing cut-to-size sheets, we recommend marking them on the outside in order to accurately insert the self-tapping screw into the rib profile.

Places of abutment of inclined and vertical planes (roof to stone wall) must not only be finished, but strengthened and insulated. To do this, we install a timber or board with a thickness of at least 40 mm on the dowels.

We put polyurethane foam in crevices and corners.

We sew a strip of plasterboard, also carefully filling the cracks with foam.

Tip: There is another trick that allows you to create even corners without using a profile corner. To do this, you need to use a temporary beacon that can be made from a rule. Drill 3-4 mounting holes in it and fix it on the plane in the desired position.

In this case, the plane will be perfectly flat (if, of course, the rule is even), the corners are formed simultaneously with the plane, and there will be no need to wait until they dry.

The rest of the filling operations are carried out as usual.

Any plane can be revetted beautifully and reliably, if you follow the rules for working with drywall. This universal material suitable for all surfaces, including round ones. Before installing to the ceiling, ensure that there is no roof leakage by performing a water spill test (simulated precipitation).
