The network can stumble upon photos of PVC panels in the kitchen, instead of tiles, this material is no less beautiful, while the costs are much lower than that of ceramic tiles.

The disadvantages of PVC panels may include a low level of impact strength. Therefore, you should carefully monitor the process of transporting the material from the purchase of space in the working area. When installing the wall panels PVC with their hands should also be careful not to damage them.

Before you go installing PVC panels in the bathroom or any other room, it is necessary to prepare the tools and materials needed to perform the finishing work. They should always be at hand.

To repair premises PVC panels will need to have:

• roulette and pencil (road marking);
• handsaw with fine teeth (for cutting the material);
• building level;
• gon;
• PVC panels;
• PVC plastic profile for panels or slats;
• a set of fixing elements (screws, dowels, nails, klyaymerov);
• punch and screwdriver;
• antiseptic solution and the sealant;
• ceiling moldings.

At the same step, the selection and purchase of material. On the market there are panels with a different type of cover that can be glossy or matte. Additionally, manufacturers use various techniques of application patterns and drawings.

Strength properties depend on the thickness of the wall panel, and the number of ribs, which are located inside.

Useful advice!To test the strength of the material, gently press on the plastic surface of the finger. If the panel is bent, so it has a low index of strength and short lifetimes.

Especially the choice of material for wall PVC panels

Polyvinylchloride panel from different manufacturers have different characteristics. Be sure to pay attention to the quality of the material.

To purchase high-quality panel, avoid buying the material, if:

• stiffeners are damaged or they are deformed;

• line of the pattern on the front side of the panel expressed clearly, there are blurring the line or boundary lubricated;
• sipe are different from each other in hue;
• coated surface scratches;
• dimensioning slats do not match (in this case, fastening technology PVC panels on ceiling or the wall can be not only complicated, but also impossible, because the elements are not tightly fixed).

Characteristics of average European and Chinese panels (comparative table):

Criterion	European lamella	Chinese lamella

How to fix the panel PVC ceiling and wall: preliminary estimates

Before you mount PVC panel, you need to make a preliminary assessment of the material for the walls.

Useful advice! Calculates the amount of material required. This will allow you to avoid overpayments or additional purchases of panels, if they are not enough. Performing preliminary calculations, saving you both time and money.

When installing wall panels PVC slats can be positioned horizontally and vertically. It depends on your desire. Calculation of the material for vertical mounting is carried out as follows:

1. Performed measurements room (room length on the perimeter).
2. Subtracted from this value width of window and door openings.
3. The residue was divided by the width of one lamella.

As a result, you get the required number of panels for decoration. Be sure to add a few additional slats in case if during installation you accidentally damage one of the elements.

For horizontal trim uses several different scheme calculations:

1. Measured by the total area of ​​the premises.
2. Subtracted the area of ​​window and door openings.
3. The resulting value is divided by the area of ​​one lamella.

In this case, the resulting number is necessary to add at least 10% of panels reserve. This moment is caused by the fact that with a horizontal ceiling trim panels PVC, as well as when working with walls master is faced with the necessity of cutting material. The result is a greater amount of construction waste.

Calculation of consumables for the crates under the PVC panels

If the execution of the installation is expected PVC wall panels with their hands on top of the foundations of the crates, you must perform additional calculations of the number of consumables for this design. As construction material for metal profiled elements batten or lath of wood can be used.

First we need to measure the height of the walls in the room. Then this figure divided by the arrangement pitch of the rods in a crate. The result of these calculations need to be multiplied by the perimeter of the room. You will receive the length of the profiles or rails in running meters.

Note! As a rule, wooden or metal elements disposed in increments of 50 cm from each other.

To calculate, measure the height of the corners in the room and multiply this figure by the number. As a result, you'll have a total footage of relevant elements of the angular type. This value is added perimeter of door and window openings in the room.

The use of PVC panels: both secured to the wall in the bathroom slats plastic

Numerous photo panels PVC in the bathroom, which can be found by browsing websites and magazines repair the house, suggests that this kind of material is quite popular among consumers.

Furnish the bathroom PVC panels can be made with your own hands in three different ways:

• using the adhesive composition;
• by means of screws;
• using klyaymerov.

Using the adhesive composition will be effective in the event that you have to deal with a perfectly flat and smooth surfaces.

Adhesives for PVC panels in the bathroom:

• specialized adhesive cement for PVC slats;
• universal composition "Moment-installation";
• liquid Nails.

Installation lamellae using glue greatly simplifies and reduces the cost of repair work in the bath, since there is no need to completely obreshetochnoy building construction.

In the adhesive method of fixing has disadvantages. In the event of damage to the finish spoiled lamella can not be replaced by another. Moreover, the subsequent repair will complicate the procedure of dismantling the old coating, which is difficult to remove from the wall.

Fixing screws more convenient and reliable. To work necessarily require an auxiliary tool as a screwdriver. Otherwise, the repair will be delayed significantly.

Note! Before you mount PVC panel in the bathroom with the help of screws, there is no need to align the surface.

The disadvantages of this method include the need to build the basics of framing battens made of wood. This entails additional costs time and money.

Klyaymery provide a fast and reliable fixation of the slats on the wall surface. In this case, the design should be obreshetochnaya metal.

Performing finishing bath panels PVC: interesting ideas, photos

Finishing plastic offers great opportunities with regard to bathroom design - a photo of PVC panels in the design of this room look stylish and impressive. Variety of colors and external characteristics of the material makes it possible to arrange placement in a variety of styles.

Today is a very popular eco-friendly interiors. Of course, the plastic does not belong to the category of eco-friendly and natural materials, but on the photo bathroom PVC paneled room with wood texture creates excellent imitation of ethno style. Installation of PVC panels in the bathroom on the wall perfectly aligned with the finished ceiling, made with the help of rails.

In the photo bathrooms PVC panels that mimic the tiling, it looks so natural, that are virtually indistinguishable from real tiles. In this case, you achieve significant savings in terms of costs for the purchase of material, since plastic slats will cost much cheaper than ceramic tile. Carrying out repairs bathroom pvc panels beneath the tiles, you will have the opportunity to arrange the room in the neoclassical style by adding friezes, columns, borders, or make a classic finishes.

Useful advice! Not recommended in the design of the bathroom, as well as in the bathroom decoration, PVC panel combine with surfacing materials of expensive segment. PVC neighborhood with marble looks not only tasteless, but also completely lost presentable natural stone.

The photo finish toilets PVC panels looks very favorably bright colors. Because of this, small apartment sanitary can add extra volume. To modern design variants bathrooms include using products with photo printing and assembling the mosaic.

How to glue the PVC panels for the bathroom: Recommendations

For finishing of bathrooms is recommended to use plastic plates with softly pronounced textured surface. The fact that the three-dimensional texture can be an excellent basis for the formation of mold and fungal spores. If you buy stuff with great relief grooves on the surface, then it will be difficult for the finish to take care of.

In fact, as the PVC panels are attached to the walls in the bathroom, there are advantages:

• cost savings - average prices for panels with standard dimensional parameters are within the 200-300 rubles / piece.. The range of the market value of the material covers price from 100 to 500 rubles. / Pc. This figure depends on the quality of products and design;

• hygiene and safety - surface lamellas does not absorb unpleasant odors, can be easily cleaning procedure using a sponge and soap solution;
• high level of resistance to moisture. For this reason, the material is suitable for rooms with high humidity. This feature allows you to finish the loggia PVC panels, as well as a balcony, a corridor and even the kitchen;
• easy installation of the system - it is enough to have the skills to use staple gun and a screwdriver;
• practicality - in the photo finishing bathrooms PVC panels are not visible communication systems. The material used for lining ducts communications, where all the tubes are placed, valves and other elements.

Note! Plastic panels have excellent performance characteristics: low degree of flammability, thermal and sound insulation.

How to glue the PVC panel on the wall without the use of battens

Before gluing PVC decorative panel on the wall surface, it is necessary to prepare a base. This technology requires a thorough cleaning of the walls and their subsequent alignment. Errors in the choice of adhesive is also unacceptable.

Surface preparation involves:

• complete removal of the old coating;
• removal slots;
• alignment surface.

Allowed size drops within 5 mm. If the pits and mounds are deeper, over time the plastic missing or deformed. On the surface of the walls may be present grease, dust, dirt. These particles prevent the normal coupling adhesive. Therefore it is desirable to wash the wall surface of the underlayer clean fat by an effective detergent composition and cause of lot.

List of universal adhesives:

• Emfikol 34012A;
• Kleiberit 636;
• Moment Crystal.

These compounds can be used for the installation of PVC panels with their own hands, but experts recommend the use of a special adhesive for plastic.

Signs of the qualitative composition:

• transparency after drying and film formation of the interlayer;
• resistance to rapid temperature changes, moisture and frost (for this reason the Internet so common photo finishing panels for balconies PVC);
• quick setting;
• reliable and long-lasting hold.

Note! It is strictly forbidden to use hot-melt plastic for fixing.

You can use non-expandable sealant based on polyurethane foam and liquid nails. These materials are plastic and firmly fix the panel on the wall.

Decorative panels PVC mosaic: how to glue, video instruction

In order to learn how to glue the PVC sheet panel mosaic, using step by step guide that is applicable for conventional sipes.

Phased implementation procedures:

1. Purification of the back side panels with a damp cloth.
2. Drying panel (before gluing PVC mosaic panel, the surface material should be completely dry - only then can apply the adhesive).
3. The application of adhesive to the back side of a point by increments of 25-35 cm.
4. Installing the panels to the wall.

If you are using the liquid nails, you need the panel will then slightly prostukat and again detached from the surface. For better adhesion of the glue required obvetrivanie for 5-7 minutes. Then need to re-fix the slat in place.

Frameless method does not require the formation of internal and external corners of PVC panels. Such a procedure in this case is inappropriate. Enough and normal lining with plastic parts that do not have slots for mounting slat. transparent silicone can be used to secure the parts. The size of these elements varies in the range from 2 cm to 5 cm.

Useful advice! To install the trim around sockets, you must pre-cut holes for them in the appropriate place on the panel. Be sure to turn off the electricity at the time of the work.

Use to learn more about the installation procedure of wall panels PVC with his hands video material posted below.

In the last resort fixed floor and ceiling plinth for PVC panels. Use the self-tapping screws. the joints between the sections of the Zone to fill with silicone sealant or with foam.

Photo kitchen aprons PVC panels and mounting technology spacer

Most often used for finishing dishes gravels or tile. However, for the installation of these materials require special knowledge and skills, therefore, are increasingly found in the photo finish of the kitchen PVC panels. The special design of the slats the apron wall assembly in zone is carried out in the minimum.

Slat-on Technology in the spacer does not involve the use of fasteners, adhesive or obreshetochnoy design. This method is used exclusively in small kitchens, where the working area can be covered by a single sheet metal panel.

1. Replace the cover on the bottom edge of the countertop material and perform cutting with the apron sizes.
2. Mount the slats in the apron area in such a way that the top edge of the material went under the wall cabinet and securely pressed against them. To improve the fixation fasteners can be used in the form of hidden brackets.
3. The lower end is fixed by a plinth. This part is fixed to the table top, and better if it is solid and durable.

Note! The advantage of this technology is that to repair the premises lamella can be easily removed if necessary. The material is not damaged and can be reused.

Installation instructions PVC panels on top of the wall frame obreshetochnogo

Before PVC sheathing wall panels, the surface should be cleaned. The need for serious alignment not, but if you plan to finish the bathroom, kitchen or other humid areas, walls and cover is recommended to seal the antiseptic.

bars of wood 2x2 cm can be used for forming obreshetochnoy structure. They are much cheaper than metal elements. However, use a wooden crate for rooms with high humidity levels is not recommended. Before applying the timber it needs to be thoroughly dried, to measure the moisture content has reached the allowable rate - 12-15%. Do not forget to pre-treatment antiseptic bars.

For the arrangement of the metal frame required profile element UD (contour part) and CD (guides).

Regardless of whether you do PVC ceiling panels with their hands or sheathe the walls, construction obreshetochnoy design should start with marking. If you are working with the walls, you must first identify the lowest level, taking into account the further installation of the floor. As a guide, you need to take the most projecting point of the wall. It was she who determines the indentation crates.

Useful advice!For wooden battens to the resulting indentation is necessary to add another 2-3 mm, such as wood susceptible to deformation under the influence of changes in temperature and humidity.

After that line is determined proleganiya upper level (with reference to the ceiling) and side layers. To control the upper and lower zones recommended building level, for the side elements - plumb.

How to fix a wall panel PVC: work with the frame and trim

Fixing batten elements by using direct hangers. Screws are arranged with a pitch of 20-25 cm (wooden frame) or 15-25 cm (metal frame). Installation bars or metallic profiles is carried out first at the edge, and then inside the structure. This will ensure a secure fit finish on the edges.

When installing the internal profiles should take into account the chosen type of panel installation - horizontal or vertical. Lamella later will have to be mounted perpendicular to the rails, fixed with screws.

Driving mounting panels on lath:

1. Install exterior and interior moldings.
2. Installation of the first panel and fixing klyaymerom (spike slats must log in profile).
3. Mounting of the second panel into the groove of the previously installed slats and fixation in a similar manner.
4. Setting the material to the end wall.
5. Sawing last panel considering the fact that the finishing material should be mounted to the abutment in the corner zone. Thus between the spine and the last element of the preceding lamella groove must be formed in the size of 2-3 mm gap. Cut side should be placed in the user's profile and insert the final element in place.

Use for a more detailed consideration of the installation of wall panels PVC his video his hands - a review of the procedure.

Note! If you want to hide moldings, The first panel fixing must be performed strictly in the corner region, and the installation of all the following elements should be close. On one of the corner pieces need to remove the thorn, the groove appeared on the face. This will be thrust clamps, hooks, which are mounted on the second profile element. Next lamella in the corner region will be placed in the starting profile member.

Formation of suspended ceilings made of PVC panels: photo designs and technology

Moisture-proof properties of PVC panels handy and everything for suspension-type ceilings.

This material is used for decorating the ceiling in various areas:

• kitchen;
• restroom;
• shower, bath or sauna;

• hallway;
• Balcony or loggia.

In most cases, a photo PVC ceiling panels in the kitchen you can see the material that simulates the battens 10 cm wide. Such a finish without problems allows for the installation of lamps in spot-type design of the ceiling.

For registration can be used, and other design options slats:

• imitating wood or natural marble stone;
• matte or glossy;
• plain or coated ornaments;
• decorated with the seal or grease.

Before you make a false ceiling made of PVC panels, made of materials necessarily calculations. The calculation scheme in this case is very simple, because there is no ceiling on the window and door openings. Material stock - 15% of the required amount.

Creating a ceiling made of PVC panels with their own hands: video recommendations

Creating a false ceiling made in stages. First you need to calculate the parameters of crates, take into account the features of the lighting system as well as the point-type recessed luminaires require accurate calculations and have a special mounting system.

Note! To work necessarily need a ladder and the help of another person.

Construction obreshetochnoy design:

1. Using a builder's level, mark the perimeter of the room in terms on which the installation of the base frame profile elements will be carried out. Fixing profiles should be strictly horizontal. It is necessary to achieve the most dense placement of the wall.
2. With the help of screws you need to fix the profile elements with a cross layout. They will keep the entire structure.
3. Along the perimeter of the profile to be located, forming the letter L. Performing any work on the installation and disguise the lighting system.

Use for installation of PVC panels with his hands video review, which reflects all the features of the technology of suspended ceiling constructions.

Keep in mind that video installation PVC panels with their hands in conjunction with the lighting system does not necessarily reflect all the nuances of this technology. It encouraged to review the additional material on the subject, since the work with electricity requires serious knowledge and can be unsafe. If you do not have the proper amount of knowledge and experience, entrust the installation to professionals in order to avoid accidents, calculation errors and unnecessary costs.
