Installation of PVC panels and PVC lining

Sheathing loggias vinyl panels

The panels and linings made of polyvinyl chloride, a popular lining material, which is characterized by the following features:

Obreshetochnye bars installed horizontally when encasing material will be located vertically. Conversely, in order to set the sheathing material horizontally, as in the case of the siding bars need to be positioned vertically.

Fastening bars perform at a distance of half a meter apart. If the mounting surface is not flat, a crate liners puts a cut from plywood. Regulation lath check during installation using water level.

After the sheathing is installed, it can be laid in those or other communications, for example, the voltage or power supply wiring. This solution is claimed, if the balcony is used as an office or home workshop.

The gap between the crate can lay the insulation. For this purpose, fit the foam or mineral wool. Plates Styrofoam select considering the thickness of the bars. Mineral wool can be purchased thicker the bar, as it in the Xpress installation.

An example of how to perform finishing balconies lining their own hands

Installing the panels starts from the corner. The first panel on the edge of the thorn nailed with small nails to the sheathing. On the other side of the panel fastening is performed using klyaymerov. Further, the first panel is inserted into the second and so on until the angle where the last panel inserted into the angular slot strip.

Installation of wall panels in the space under the glazing

At the junction of the wall with the floor mounted finishing strip. Suitable additional elements are mounted in a frame window and door openings.

Wooden wall paneling is characterized by qualities such as:

• environmental Safety;
• easy installation;
• ability to perform subsequent finishing using various paints;
• the ability to perform both vertical and horizontal mounting;
• low resistance material to excess humidity and temperature differences;
• low resistance to the negative effects of biological factors.

Installation of wooden bunks

Installation Instructions wooden lining is very similar to installing a plastic lining. But, like the installation of wall panels Wooden wall paneling is fixed to the crate using klyaymerov.

Just immediately after the installation of a wooden surface is covered with special impregnation, makes it less combustible and more resistant to decay. After impregnation completely absorbed and dry, timber may be applied clearcoat or solid paint layer.
