Dismantling of a gypsum partition

Dismantling of a gypsum partition

About the start of dismantling, without fail, it is necessary to disconnect the wiring, and remove all communications. The flooring is carefully covered with a protective film. In order to avoid damage, things and furniture are removed from the scene.

The following tool will be required to demolish the gypsum partition: a hammer, a sledgehammer, a chisel, a hacksaw, a “grinder” and/or electric saber saw, punch, level.

The work is also required to use protective equipment: mittens, respirator, shoes with a closed top, protective glasses.

If you have to remove part of the gypsum partition, then before dismantling on the wall, marking is made. Using the level, the vertical of the future slope and the angle of opening are verified.

After marking, from the section of the subject to demolition, the skirting boards, platbands are removed, the plaster is partially removed.

Immediately before demolition, the partition must be moistened with water with a wide brush to delay the dust.

The gypsum panel can be an admixture of concrete or gypsum -fiber, as a rule, around the perimeter, a gypsum plate is strengthened by a frame of wooden rails, a strapping of wooden bars is made along the contour of the panel. The partition can consist of a monolithic slab or individual gypsum blocks with a 6 mm steel wire, not rarely, the partition is attached to the ceiling overlap and the bearing side walls.

They begin to demolish the partition on top, dividing the wall into small fragments. With the help of a perforator, it is necessary to make several through holes, then make a cut.

If the gypsum partition does not contain reinforcement with wire, the necessary cut can be made using a hacksaw with a large tooth. If reinforcement is present, the cut can be done with an electric saber saw with a metal nozzle. Using a “grinder” is possible if the disk does not occur with small -dispersed particles.

Small parts of the partitions are phased out, and folds into prepared bags. The extracted gypsum stone must be immediately removed from the place of work. Small parts of the partition can be collapsed with a chisel and sledgehammer.

The edges of the resulting opening are neatly trimmed, irregularities are removed, the slope of the cut is checked using the level.
