Drywall is widely used in construction and finishing works worldwide. This is a kind of building material consisting of sheets of cardboard, between which there is a solid plaster dough, supplemented with various fillers.

Figures from drywall, depending on their complexity and functional load, are mounted directly on the wall, ceiling or on a special profile frame.

Depending on this, the method of installation, type of material and additional fasteners will vary. You can conditionally distinguish functional and purely decorative elements.

Since the material can be given almost any curved shape, the design of the arch is limited only by the customer's imagination. This element is designed as doorways, and individual sections of the wall, using part of the ceiling. Arches can be deaf or with through openings for placement of vases, figurines and other decorative trifles.

It is not always possible or necessary to install separate wardrobes or shelves in the rooms. In this case, it is useful such a technique as mounting a niche of plasterboard. This design has several advantages over traditional storage systems.

• The niche is built as an inseparable part of the wall, which allows you to seamlessly integrate it into the interior.

• Decorative plaster will fall well on the plasterboard surface, but it should be remembered that because of its coarse texture, it is not well suited for decorating children's rooms or narrow, angular premises.
• It is possible to decorate a decorative element with an artificial stone. This is quite a costly method, so they usually make out only the perimeter of the arch or fireplace.
