Husk, whiskers and chamfers: what is it, why are they needed and what are they used for - Setafi

It is quite simple to define what a husk is, as well as chamfers and mustaches. This is the name of the corners that are formed by the intersection of walls or walls together with the ceiling. How and why these elements differ, as well as how and why they are processed, is described in detail below.

Definition of concepts

All of these concepts are related to angles:

1. We can say about the husk that this is an internal corner that is formed by two walls at the intersection or a ceiling with walls (indicated by the number 1 in the figure).
2. Usenok is the corner, which is also formed at the intersection of the walls, but not internal, but external (protruding) - the number 2.
3. The chamfer is the same mustache, but only rounded - the number 3.

Since the husk is an internal corner, it often has a sharp shape, i.e. it is left in its original form. As for the mustache, it is usually blunted, creating a flat or rounded shape. This is done in order to improve the appearance and ensure durability. The fact is that the intersection at an acute angle breaks off quite quickly. Moreover, husks and whiskers are processed in a similar way.

How to rub husks and mustaches

To polish the corners, use a mixture based on fine sand. For work, such tools are used, as a rule, a trowel and a template.

Rubbing of husks, mustaches and chamfers goes like this:

1. The solution is applied to the surface of a trowel or a rule and the tool is moved up and down the corner, pressing well with your hand.
2. Perform several movements until the sharp corner is erased.
3. Make sure that the line goes strictly vertically or horizontally.
4. If there are defects, they are rubbed with a smaller trowel, having previously applied a solution to it.

If you need to process chamfers, they act in the same way, but first the surface is abundantly moistened with water. A trowel is applied to the end surface, a solution is applied and the treatment is carried out in a similar way. Moreover, as a result, the chamfer should be perfectly straight.

We can say about the husk and the mustache that these are the inner and outer corners, respectively, which are usually processed. To do this, use the rule and poluterok. But if you need to give the original shape, you will also need a template.
