How to Make Prefabricated Partition Walls for Houses

There are two common methods for making prefabricated partition walls in houses: light steel keel gypsum board partition walls and backing board partition walls.

Light Steel Keel Gypsum Board Partition Walls

• Keel Installation: First, determine the position of the partition wall and fix the light steel keels at the corresponding upper and lower positions on the wall. During installation, reserve the size of the door frame to ensure that the door can be installed and used normally later. After that, install the matching light steel keels at appropriate intervals. These keels work together to form a stable frame structure, providing support for the subsequent installation of the boards.
• Board Fixing: Fix the cut gypsum boards to the keel frame with an electric drill. When fixing, ensure that the gypsum boards are tightly connected to the keels to avoid looseness. At the same time, to enhance the sound insulation effect of the partition wall, sound-absorbing materials such as soundproof cotton can be inserted on both sides of the wall. Soundproof cotton can effectively absorb and block the transmission of sound, improving the quietness of the room.
• Wall Treatment: After the installation of the gypsum boards is completed, wall treatment is required. First, use putty to smooth out the nails on the wall surface, making the wall surface flat and smooth. Then, apply a thin layer of putty for leveling to fill the gaps between the gypsum boards and the minor irregularities on the surface. Finally, apply a layer of paint, which can not only protect the wall but also serve as a decoration, making the partition wall more beautiful.

Backing Board Partition Walls

• Material Selection: When using backing boards for partition walls, generally, 1.2-centimeter Fangfeng backing boards are used, and they should be installed on both sides. This type of backing board has certain strength and stability, which can meet the basic requirements of partition walls.
• Thickness Control: The overall finished surface needs to be controlled at a certain thickness, which can not only ensure the quality of the partition wall but also save space. Compared with the traditional red brick wall construction method, backing board partition walls can not only obtain a high wall but also save a lot of space. Moreover, the construction speed is faster, which can improve the efficiency of decoration.
