Top and bottom piece = profile + board = 30 + 12.5 = 42.5 mmĪdding everything together: 4*55 + 2* 42.5 = 305 mm. Middle piece = profile + top board and bottom board = 30 + 2*(12.5)= 55 mm To make 5 shelves I need to make 4 horizontal pieces between shelves, bottom piece, and top piece, therefore: Knowing this value, thickness of the profile and thickness of the plasterboard, we can start the fun part- calculations :). To find the most suitable height of my shelves, I've created a few cardboard hexagon templates of different height, and placed them against some of the girls toys to have some sort of idea what and how much could I fit.
WALL HEXAGON SHELVES FULL SIZE
I wanted my shelves to be full size (height) and halves, as I believe that's the most optimum layout, without any odd shapes. This is the step when you test your math skills. Total cost for this project was just over £200, that's for all the materials, and some tools that I didn't possess at that time. * Dust mask - anything is better than nothing, but I recommend a face mask with filters. Not essential but very helpful ,especially for those with poor plastering skills: * Drill - I assume every DIY'er here got this. * Primer - ATLAS AVAL KT17 5L UNI GRUNT PRIMER from "Mrowka" £12.20 for 5 litre bottle * Plasterboard rasp/shaver - I've used Stanley 367023-STX Surform Shaver Tool 5 21 115 this little baby cost only £3.40 on amazon UK.
Another option is to make permanent template of 60 deg. This needs to be lockable to make sure you've got the same angle all the time. Easier to reach corners, and there's lots of them. * Trowel - I've used brick trowel as it's longer and narrower than ordinary plasterboard trowel. * Plasterboard saw -I've used STANLEY FATMAX Folding Jab Saw -brought on offer for £4.99, normal price just over £10. * Metal cutters - Mines are Stanley STA214563 Aviation Snip - Straight 2-14-563 £10.99 on .uk 2 boxes of 1000 for £7.55 each from "Mrowka". * Self Drill Drywall Screws - 3.5 x 25mm. * Plasterboard boards - 2400 x 1200 x 12.5 mm - Qty.
This is actually a ceiling profile, wall profiles are wider than this one. * Plasterboard steel profiles - UD-30 3m, I've brought 25 for £2.40 each from "Mrowka" as it was the cheapest. * Plasterboard Tapeless Joint Compound (CEKOL C-40 TAPELESS JOINT COMPOUND (66PP) 4.5KG READY TO USE) - again "Mrowka". * Wall Finishing Plaster (AKRYL PUTZ 2IN1 GYPSUM PLASTER ST10 20KG WHITE) - I've got from Polish Builder Supplies "Mrowka" not far from me. Amount will differ depending on the size of your project, and materials will be different if you live in other area or country. Use it as a reference if you want to do copy my idea. Below is a list of supplies that I've used.
