Very annoying: transverse cracks in the drywall due to errors in the substructure or poor panel connections! When removing the filler and the paint from our wall, the foreman Adi noticed a mistake: Missing chamfering of the transverse joint. Fortunately, this error can be remedied with a few simple steps. In this video, our demonstration master Adi shows you how to do it step by step.
Such cracks are unsightly and actually not necessary, since they would not appear with the right construction. In our example, the wrong profiles were processed in the door area. As a result, the wall is not stable enough and vibrates a little due to loads. A millimeter is enough to create a crack. So that these mistakes do not happen in the construction of your drywall, we have put together a few videos here

It doesn't matter whether you want to build a partition yourself or just a room divider - here you can learn first-hand from professional craftsmen how it's done. Knauf metal stud walls are an equivalent alternative to "light", solid interior walls for interior construction. Due to the dry and quick installation as well as the slim wall cross-sections, with the best thermal, sound and fire protection properties, partition walls made of plasterboard are particularly versatile. They are stable and provide the necessary peace and comfort in your own four walls.
