How are the panel and what they do
Decorative panels may be used for wall decoration, and for furniture. The panels can be smooth or use a method Karetnaya ties, both options will be considered later, but for now I will briefly talk about the materials and devices such panels.
Soft 3D wall panels - the new trend of modern fashion.
General machinery manufacturing soft wall panel looks like this:
- First you pick a rigid substrate, it may be sheets of plywood, MDF, PVC and other similar materials. Plate thickness is selected depending on the size of the product, at least 3 mm, a maximum of 5-7 mm;
- Glued to a rigid foam or padding polyester, the level of softness, as well as the depth of the relief is dependent on the substrate thickness. It can range from 1 to 10 cm;
- Next soft panels for walls or furniture hooped with any finishing materials.
Soft headboard is comfortable and original.
With a choice of hard and soft substrate bases are often problems arise, handyman better to take fiberboard, MDF or thin plywood, and as a substrate take the foam, it is easier to work with.
As for the finishing materials, then there are 3 options:
- Genuine Leather beautiful and durable material, but the price for it is fantastic. The fact that the soft leather wall panels are made of a thin and well-dressed leather, and is the most expensive of these materials;
- Furniture upholstery fabric It is much cheaper, but such panels wear out quickly, plus they are difficult to clean;
- Leather. Instead of leather or fabric, I advise you to take it. Wall panels made of imitation leather look great and are quite reasonable money.
Soft padding - is the perfect solution for cafes.
It appeared on the market now so-called Faux leather is also leather, but of higher quality. On the face of such coverage is no different from a natural leather, plus eco skin does not burn.

Marking the foundations:
|
|
vent. Now on a marking drill hole drill 8 mm, maximum 10 mm can be taken, but not anymore. Note: for the manufacture of soft panels, it is desirable to make a stand 2, in an elevated state with blanks is much easier to work with. |
|
To drill the holes in the foam rubber nozzle on the need screwdriver. In the furniture stores sold the so-called "Joker", it is used for the assembly of commercial equipment. I took this joker fix bolts on the adapter, sharpened edge and inserted into the screwdriver, photo on the left is clearly visible fixture. |
|
Apply the adhesive. The adhesive is desirable to apply no more using the spray gun with a nozzle of 1.5-1.7 mm. If the gun is not present, use the roller. Then glue sadim foam. Side we glued foam profile, a profile is on sale and using it is convenient to do the sloping edge. |
|
Holes in the foam rubber. Remember, you can not apply on foam marking marker pen or something similar, with time, these "patterns" can tread through the finish, mark colored chalk. We take ordinary Japanese sticks and through the back of the panel, insert them into the foundations of the hole. Sticks pass through the foam and show drill points. |
|
Now take out the sticks and drilled holes in the foam rubber using a nozzle. | |
Mark up finish. To finish, we chose the eco skin. To take her mark sheet, turn it upside down and inside out through the template pencil mark up point buttons fastening. |
|
Set up thread. First of all we start thread fixation point without buttons, whereupon the rows dressed with these threads in the warp and form a hole pattern. |
|
Karetnaya screed. After the thread is stretched and secured on the back side, we have fingers forming bends along the diagonals. This four-wheel coupler is formed by the pleats, if sector diagonally sewn from scraps, such goods shall be considered a low-grade and quickly razlezetsya at the seams. |
|
align the fold. After 2-3 jointing series take a wooden stick and straightens the fine unevenness on the folds, and along a diagonal check by sector. The fold should be at least 1 cm deep. |
|
Fix an edge. Now carefully stretch the web laterally, bends it and fix the stapler on the reverse side of the panel. Along the edges of the folds are also formed, but if you did everything correctly, these pleats will form themselves. |
|
insert the buttons. Buttons factories, tensioned and fixed at the end. They do not carry a heavy load, a further fixed screed. |
|
forming an angle. Obvorachivaem angle and fix the stapler, and distribute excess material in the folds. |
|
Final result. |
