After purchasing the right materials, you are ready to go. The process of finishing wooden surfaces in the house consists of the following steps:

1. The walls and ceiling are thoroughly cleaned of dirt and treated with compounds that destroy mold fungi, bacteria and protect the wood from moisture. Such processing is carried out in several stages - each applied layer of antiseptic should dry well. Work is done with a brush, spray or use paint rollers.
2. The frame should be installed as even as possible - the evenness of future walls and ceiling depends on it. For marking and installation, use a level (normal or laser), plumb.
3. Cut the drywall in size, obtained by measuring the walls and ceiling with a tape measure. Where you can put whole sheets, naturally, nothing is cut off from them. Especially carefully it is necessary to cut the drywall in places of transition from the walls to the ceiling, otherwise gaps may appear that have nothing to cover.
4. They install the frame to the walls and ceiling of the room with a drill and a screwdriver.
5. In the gaps formed by the fasteners, insert insulation over the entire surface of the walls and ceiling.
6. Make installation of drywall on the frame with screws.

Work is basically completed. The room will get a completely different look. If it is necessary, together with the surface finish, to give it some form, then this is done with the help of a reinforced frame, which has corresponding bends. In this way, you can make a multi-level ceiling and insert halogen lamps into it or make shelves of plasterboard in the walls.
