PVC panels - briefly about construction materials
First it is necessary to say that in the initial components, from which the wall plastic is made, there are no inclusions harmful to human health or any active substances. PVC panels are widely used for finishing works in the process of construction or repair of various surfaces. They are installed in offices, apartments, halls of shopping centers, various pavilions, hospitals, etc.
Plastic panels have proven themselves as a universal finishing material for the construction of unheated holiday cottages. Also they are well suited for plating the inner walls of garages or balconies.
PVC is a universal polymeric material from which pipes for water pipes, various hoses and linoleum are made. The most convincing evidence of its high ecological qualities is the fact that bottles for drinking water and disposable syringes are produced from this material.
Fittings for PVC panels and fasteners
PVC wall panels are made of a plastic mixture with an extruder. Long sheets are cut to lengths of 2.5-6 meters and after the rejection check, they are dyed with organic dyes. Then they are covered with a varnish, which serves as a protective coating for them. In addition, this protective layer has antistatic properties - that's why dust never adheres to the surface.
Further in the article we will consider the ways of installing PVC panels on the crate. This method does not require special knowledge from the performer: almost anyone who can handle the instrument can do this. The installation of facing slabs does not require preliminary preparation of the surface and makes it possible to lay a layer of insulation material under the panels.
Tools:
- saw with fine teeth;
- hammer;
- stapler;
- fittings for PVC panels;
- self-tapping screws;
- dowel-nails;
- electric drill;
- building level;
- measuring tape.
Assembly and necessary accessories for PVC panels
The installation of panels begins with the installation of a battens on the wall. For it fit wooden slats, section of 2x2 cm. If the work is carried out in a damp room, it is desirable to treat the crate with an antifungal solution( also zinc-plated profile can be used instead of wooden parts).Reiki on the wall are fastened with dowel-nails at a distance of 0.5-0.6 meters from each other. Then proceed to the installation of the coating.
First, the brackets for the PVC panels are fastened with brackets. Installation is carried out from the corner of the room towards the door or window opening.
The first sheet is inserted into the groove of the previously installed corner. After that, using a stapler, a special mounting plate is fixed to the PVC panels. The thorn of the next sheet is inserted into the groove of the previous one. At the same time, the shelves are fastened to the frame. Further installation takes place in the same way, and clips for PVC panels snap into the groove of the profile and at the same time press the wide part of the panel pile.
As can be seen from the description, the installation process is quite simple. You just need to figure out where and how to use moldings for PVC panels. With due skill in one day, you can easily wall paneled rooms of a medium-sized room. As a result: a perfectly flat surface, and most importantly - without the expected construction waste.
