PVC panels: dimensions and general properties of the material

PVC panels (PVC) despite the relatively recent appearance on the market has been able to win the attention of consumers, especially those who are going to independently carry out repairs in the house.

Such popularity of the material due to many factors:

• advantageous technical and operational characteristics;
• extensive range of (heterogeneous products, which differ from each other in coloring, quality, texture, value);
• simple mounting system.

Thanks to an extensive selection of plastic PVC panels sizes, this kind of finish is considered to be universal. In the assortment you can choose products designed for walls and ceilings, as well as panels that are suitable for decoration of a certain type.

Useful advice!To avoid mistakes with a choice of finishes, to determine in advance the design of the room, as well as dimensional parameters slats.

Common types and sizes of PVC panels for ceilings and walls

Modern range of products available on the market, can be arbitrarily distributed among multiple groups. distinguished:

• PVC tile panel type;
• battens;
• sheet products.

In each group there are differences between plastic PVC panels: size, price, level of rigidity and weight. Dimensions and other parameters of the slats depends on the group in which they are included. This may have an impact on the design of a bathroom, kitchen or bathroom, as well as finishing work involving the processing of the ceiling or walls in other rooms.

Standard parameter slat thickness is in the range 0.5-1 cm. This figure is very important to consider if you plan to purchase molding. Molding is a decorative strip applicator type used as a finishing element in the interior decoration.

If we talk about PVC wall panels, the size of these materials allow to distribute products between the two groups. One of them includes the panel whose thickness is 0.5 cm. In a second group of slats deposited with a thickness in the range 0.8-1 cm. Despite such a wide scope, for the second group of panels are manufactured in a single molding universal size.

Buy PVC ceiling panel 3 meters long today is not difficult, as this size is included in the standard range of parameters.

The overall dimensions of PVC panels (standard):

type of product	The standard width, m	The standard length, m
rack panel	0,13-0,3	0,9-3
Wall panel	0,15-0,5	2,6/2,7/3
a tiled panel	0,3/0,98	0,3/0,98

Species of the compound type panels

On the market of PVC slats for walls and ceilings can have a different character of the compound. Based on this, the range of panels can be divided into several groups:

• product with an embossed surface;
• seamless;
• products having a chamfer (rust).

Plastic panels seamless type in most cases are used for finishing the ceiling surface. As a result, mounting articles arranged very close to each other, whereby the size of joints is minimized. effect can be achieved with the subject technology, in which the connecting line between adjacent elements will be virtually not visible.

Note!Furniture slats made of PVC react negatively to exposure to temperature extremes. As a result of the effect of trim undergoes deformation changes. The changes affect not only the shape but also the size of the PVC ceiling panels. For this reason, you should carefully select the material on the market and pay attention to its price, quality and structural condition.

Panel with a compound in the form of a chamfer have a lot of similarities with seamless slats. The only difference is just the presence of the chamfer at the end of the article. Rust is a decorative groove used for connecting PVC panels in a single fabric. Slats bevelled, or as they are referred rustovye panel can be used for walls and ceilings.

Rectangular product with a relief surface suitable for mounting on a wall. On the external characteristics they have similar features with clapboard. Modeled finishing stands out panels PVC high strength and resistance to wear. However, it affects the price that is significantly increased.

Variants of PVC panels for wall sizes and specifications

To purchase a material with appropriate technical and operational parameters necessary to understand the differences between types of products ceiling wall. The fact that the size and price of PVC panels are not the main index, as well as appearance.

Typically, the plastic finishing to the ceiling is significantly thinner than the base wall, its thickness ranges from 4-5 mm. This point is caused by the fact that the products are intended for mounting on the wall, the operation will be subject to higher mechanical loads. Therefore, they must have a large margin of safety, stability and, of course, need to be thicker.

To provide increased strength wall panels, manufacturers increase the amount of material in a single product. Consequence is an increase in the weight of the panel. Therefore walls decoration differs from the ceiling and yet slat by weight.

The standard width of the panels is equal to 25-30 cm. The length may be 6 meters and a thickness of 6 mm to 1 cm.

Characteristics and dimensioning of sandwich panels

Sandwich panels are often used for finishing work on the walls. Moreover, the high price of these products does not stop buyers. They look elegant and combine such advantages as mechanical strength and high quality.

Useful advice!Sandwich panels They can be used to design such complex sections as slopes. This kind of material is simply indispensable in the construction of walls.

Dimensional line sandwich panels very extensive, but there are also among the range of standard dimensions, where the length is 3 m, and the width of PVC panels for walls varies such values: 0.9;. 1.15 and 1.5 m In this case, the product may have different thicknesses - 1; 2,4; 3,2 and 4 cm.

Price PVC sandwich panels 10 mm, 24 mm, 32 mm and 40 mm (the standard size of 3x1.5 m):

Features of PVC panels for ceiling: the size and price of products

Unlike wall products, ceiling panels have a light weight. Given the fact that the strength properties are not so important for the ceiling decoration, manufacturers have made the main focus on the maximum relief sipes and the creation of a variety of design options.

Note!For ceiling finishing material more fragile. In the process of lining should be followed as carefully as possible.

To save money on the purchase of the material should be selected taking into account the panel size of the room. Thus it is desirable to achieve an optimal index, at which a minimum number of construction waste (scraps) will remain after the installation procedure.

If the base width of the ceiling in the room is 2 m, then as a finishing unit is most advantageous to buy PVC ceiling panel 4 meters long. During the installation of such panels are cut in half. Thus, doubling the number of slats, which, after cutting acquire length of 2 m. Similarly, we can proceed with the 3-hmetrovymi panels, provided that the width of the ceiling is 1.5 m.

Before you buy a material should perform a preliminary calculation of the required number. As an example we can take a bathroom with parameters 1,5h1,7 m. It is advisable in this case to take PVC panels for bathroom 0,25h3 m size. Given the above, the sipe will be cut in half.

The formula for calculating the lining for the bathroom:
1.7 m (space length) / 0.25 m (width slats) x 0.5 (factor cutting lamellas into two) slats = 3.4.

The result should be rounded to integer numeric values. In this case it is equal to 4. It is so much need of PVC panels for lining the ceiling level in the bathroom.

The main types of PVC ceiling panels, dimensions, prices

The standard thickness of ceiling panels is 8-10 mm. It is these parameters form the basis of creating moldings, which are selected based on the size of the slats.

Note!On sale you can find ceiling finishes PVC thickness of 4-5 mm and even 12 mm. However, the choice of suitable moldings in this case would be extremely complicated.

Types of moldings:

• F-shaped;
• ceiling Molding;
• connective;
• start or edging;
• an inner corner;
• outer corner.

By type of construction are the following kinds of ceiling slats made of PVC:

1. "Europeans" or Lining - long bar with a wide lock systems. The standard width of 10 cm, length - 3 m.
2. "Polka" - lamellas 3 m long and 10 cm wide with narrow keyhole system.
3. Reinforced lining - from standard panels it is distinguished by the presence of the double profile and dimensioning. In this case, the width corresponds to 12.5 cm, while the length remains the same - 3 m.
4. Stove - panel square shape without the locking system.
5. Advanced panels - the width of these elements is within the range of 15-50 cm, and the length may correspond to the following options: - 2.6 m / 2.7 m / 3 m.
6. Sheet-panels - a sheet material having no locking system. By width of the sheet metal members can reach 0,8-2,03 m, their standard length is in the range 1,5-4,05 m.

Molded may have several sections. On sale there are one-, two- and three-section product with a different design.
