To level the walls for a house, you need to use a level to calculate how big the differences are. If they are more than 3 cm, it is better to use drywall.
Sheets of material allow you to work with large areas and create a perfectly flat surface. However, such preparation of the walls “eats up” the useful area, since it requires the installation of a frame made of metal profiles.
Crooked walls are leveled in several stages:
- A primer is applied to the cleaned surface, which increases the level of adhesion, due to which the texture of the wall becomes more susceptible to subsequent treatments. The primer also strengthens the base and protects the surface from the formation of fungus and mold.
- Next, putty is applied in 1 cm. This procedure is performed three times, with each layer allowed to dry for 10-12 hours.
- After this, the interior walls are plastered. This final treatment allows you to create an ideal surface that will be ready for painting or wallpapering.
To check the evenness of the surface, a rule (2 meters) is applied. If the wall cladding was carried out in accordance with all the rules, then there will be no gaps between the surface and the tool, or they will be no more than 2 mm.
