2. If the panels have a picture, then you need to check its quality.
3. Panels should be purchased from one lot, in order to avoid diversity.
4. The panels before the purchase must be docked( two pieces are enough), in order to make sure that the connection is strong and invisible.
5. The front side of the PVC panel should not "show" the stiffeners. A normal, high-quality panel should not have any flaws.
6. The reverse side of the panels should not have impregnations, and if they are still available, this means that this material is made from recycled materials, which will inevitably affect the quality of PVC panels in the future.
7. The dimensions indicated on the package must completely coincide with the actual dimensions. This should be checked by a tape measure.
8. It is better to buy this material in a specialized store than in the construction market - so you will spare yourself the risk of buying poor-quality material.
9. It should be remembered that expensive panels are not always of high quality - perhaps you just got into an expensive store. Too cheap panels also inspire doubts about quality.

So, it is strongly recommended to take into account all of the above, in order to avoid further disappointments associated with poor, in the end, quality that a hinged ceiling should not have.

The main advantages of laminated PVC panels - resistance to high temperatures, easy operation

Thanks to the further choice, you can give, say, your bathroom a unique, simply unique look.

Types:

• Offset printing. The pattern is rolled with a roller onto the surface of the panel, and then it is poured with a varnish, then it is dried with an ultraviolet lamp. The surface is glossy.
• Thermal transfer printing. The top layer of the panel surface is dissolved by a special composition, and only then, on the surface of the PVC panel, a film with a pattern is rolled. The surface is glossy.
• Lamination. If the previous two methods were based on the white surface of the panel, then in this case, the color of the surface does not matter. A film is used, similar to that used to create MDF facades, as well as the same used in furniture production.

Lamination, in this case, is the most successful option for strength, but the worst for poor color assortment. Basically, such a film "under the tree."In addition, laminated panels are the most expensive and limited in size: 2.5;2.7;And 3 meters.

So, the most optimal for the consumer option is thermal transfer printing.
