One of the reasons for the popularity of PVC panels for decoration of premises is ease of installation. For such repairs, it is not necessary to invite specialists, you can significantly save the family budget and install plastic PVC panels. To sheathe walls or ceiling with panels forces for any home master who can use a screwdriver, drill and building level. At the first stage of installation, the installation of the crate is performed. Metal profiles, wooden bars or special stripes made of durable plastic are used as a crate. In rooms with high humidity, for example, bathrooms, it is better to use not a wooden, but a metal or plastic crate. It should be noted that for dry rooms with even walls, a simplified option for fastening panels is allowed – without a crate, by gluing directly on the wall or ceiling.
Before fixing the crate, it is necessary to decide how the plastic panels for walls will be oriented. It must be taken into account that the vertical arrangement of the panels visually eliminates the room upward, and horizontal will make it wider and below it. The elements of the crate are installed perpendicular to the arrangement of the panels. They are mounted with an interval of 0.4 – 0.5 meters, using conventional screws or screws for fixing.
In places where cabinets, mirrors or hinged shelves will be located on the walls, it is necessary to make a more common crate. Subsequently, this will simplify the fastening of hinged elements. If in the walls or ceiling it is planned to install built -in lamps, then before installing the panels all electric cables should be diluted. Attention: all work with electrical wiring should be performed by a person with special knowledge and skills.
The peculiarity of PVC panels is that when assembling they are interconnected and form a whole canvas. How does it happen? Previously, the starting angle is fixed on the crate. The first panel is inserted with a narrow mounting shelf into the groove of the starting corner, and the wide shelf is attached with nails on the crate. In dry rooms, instead of nails, you can use glue. All the following panels are mounted in the same way – with a narrow shelf are inserted into the previous groove and attached on the crate from the side of the wide shelf. The last panel is not fixed, but inserted with a wide shelf into the end corner.
All finishing work will take very little time. Even with minimal skills, cosmetic repair of a bathroom or kitchen can be performed on their own in just 1-2 days. Plastic panels cost, which are much lower than ceramic tiles, make it possible to significantly save money and time for repair. And thanks to the huge selection of colors and textures, you can achieve an expressive decorative effect and create your own unique interior.
