Installation of panels of plastic or PVC - a step by step procedure

PVC material is excellent for self-installation, so installation of plastic strips is available to anyone who will take up the matter, after having prepared the tools and materials:

* square, electric drill, drill from pobedita, jigsaw, water level, screwdriverstapler (brackets of 10 mm or more), pliers, tape measure, hammer, CD-foams, staircase;

* dowels \ cloves, plastic-material starter strips, angles and connection elements obreshёtochnaya rake and bars, baseboards, ceiling and floor, the bank's liquid nails.

plastic panels installing plastic plating process step by step:

1. Perform a lattice base to serve as a frame construction for fixing panels.The size of the boards lathing 30 * 40, 30 * 50, 50 * 50 mm, but not less than "twenty".Recommended handle tree antifungal impregnation, if the dampness in the room is high, and maybe even choose galvanized profile.

bars fastened to the concrete dowel-nails (6 mm diameter, length 60 mm), and the tree - tapping screws.Be sure to align the crate, at the time of fixing on the surface using plywood linings.The distance between the laths should be up to 500 mm.We need to be perpendicular to the rack panels and always placed at the beginning and end stones surfaces (floor-ceiling window openings).

2. On the panel prepared crate at the joint of the walls, from which to begin the installation of panels, reinforced with the help of the furniture stapler \ clip \ screws \ studs starting bar (this rail section to «L» - and"U" -shaped).If the wall above panel length required connecting elements - «H».

3. The first PVC panel inserted into the profile groove, making sure that the connection is tight, no gap is formed between the panels.Be sure to check the level of the location of the first panel.Then attach the brackets to the broad shelf crate.

4. Subsequent panels are installed similarly, inserting a narrow groove mounted shelf.The sequence of operation is as follows: insert a narrow shelf in the slot, snaps, check plumb line, fix the panel stapler crate.The last panel is fixed in the angular profile.It is advisable to trim, not to crumple a corner bar.

5. The slits formed at joining plastic elements are embedded with special strips with corners (there are external and internal, select the place).You can apply start bar that looks like in cross-section as the English letter F, then there are F-shaped, when the joint is finished with a window, angular surface or doorway.In bringing the bar to the floor, skirting close the gap.End trims, Plinth finish will help to give the surface a finished look.

requirements when working with materials of PVC

* constant temperature in the room, if there is a difference, in the range 20 ° C;

* installation only during the warmer months, the medium was warmed to at least up to 10 degrees, the need to "otlezhivaniya" plastic materials in the heat before installation;

* required holes in the lattice trim, if there is high humidity, ventilation of the space;

* transverse installation (horizontal) implies that the edge on the facade should be from the bottom, not to numb the water;

* plastic changes in length, "growing up" on one percent with every ten degrees, leave gaps.

Pros and cons of the use of PVC panels

Many colors, easy installation, good sound and heat insulation - material advantages.And we refer to the downside PVC fire hazard and the need to disassemble the entire coating, if one element is damaged.

Also we advise to read about the installation rack ceiling with his hands and about how to glue tiles on gypsum board, as well as a tile drill.
