A damper tape should be laid under each profile. It will avoid buzz when using the dresser. Before installing each profile unit, it is worth checking the constructions using a level. The frame must be stable and smooth. When all the adjacent profiles are installed, you can proceed to the installation of vertical and horizontal. All jumpers are installed from top to bottom.
  5. Install the back wall. The need to form the back wall depends on where the plasterboard cabinet stands. If the wall of the room itself has a good appearance, then it is not necessary to make additional finishing.

  7. Sheathing frame. The frame is enough to sheathe from the outside, but many sheathe and inside. Sheets are mounted on screws. Between them, the pitch should be two hundred millimeters.
  8. Padding. For this stage, you need a special tool. It can be found in any hardware store. The primer should be carefully treated the entire cabinet from drywall.
  9. Preparation of corners and plastering. To make the cabinet aesthetic, every corner of it should be made even. This can help plaster grid. It is attached with plaster when processing the entire surface.
  10. Door installation. When the base dries out after plastering, you can take measurements of the surface of the future door. To make it yourself is not worth it. Such work should be done only by a professional master. The door is better to order ready with the guides. When it is delivered, you must first install the control, and then the canvas itself.
