Crooked walls are a common cause of headaches for those people who have started renovating an apartment or finishing a room.

There are quite a few reasons for the curvature: improper laying of bricks, deformation of the building frame, poorly applied plaster... Instead of guessing what led to such a result, expert of the online publication "BelNovosti" designer Yulia Tychino suggests using any of the three methods described below, which will help to level the surfaces.

Gypsum plasterboards

One of the simple and relatively inexpensive ways to correct unevenness.

Those who have chosen the option of plasterboard will only have to attach the boards to the wall and fill it with plaster from putty.

Self-leveling mixtures

Using this method, you have every chance of achieving perfectly flat walls.

To do this, apply the self-leveling mixture using a special machine and distribute it in an even layer over the entire surface. However, due to the complexity of the process, the best solution would probably be to contact a professional repairman.

Plaster

Perhaps, you won't find a cheaper method than cement-sand plaster. But if you plan to paint the walls, you should not forget about the need to use putty, and this, unfortunately, leads to an inevitable increase in financial and time costs.
