Plastic PVC panels - how to attach them to the wall ?

few words about the production of plastic panels

method of manufacture of this material is quite simple.Take the mass consisting of oil and rock salt ground into a powder mixture and is converted to polymer.Sami PVC panels are manufactured by extrusion technology.

It involves extruding a molten composition through a special nozzle.To the finished material it has the desired performance properties, in the initial mixture is mixed with some additives.Coating may be performed in any color.

Wall PVC plastic panels have a porous structure.In their structure contain those additives which increase their strength characteristics.It is because they can withstand high mechanical stress and even used for facades.And plastic panels for the bathroom PVC have high water resistance and resistance to aggressive media.That is, no they are not afraid cleaning compositions.

length of each panel can be 2.7, 3 and 6 meters and width - 20, 25, 30 and 33 centimeters.The thickness varies from 5 to 10 mm.

Plastic panel PVC - what are their properties?

This material has many advantages.Precisely because it is so widely used in various fields.We describe some of them.Firstly, using PVC panels can be easily and quickly get a perfectly smooth wall .

Repairs can be carried out without the dirt and dust (it is not necessary to prepare the base - leveling, priming, etc.). Installation is made on all types of surfaces (straight or curved).Second, the plastic panels have an attractive design and can replace expensive materials (ceramic tiles, paper wallpaper).

Furthermore, these terms may be hidden any communications (wire, pipes), which gives the aesthetic appearance of the room.Third, the range of temperatures at which they can be used - from -50 to +50 ° C.

It is because they are often used for outdoor decoration.Fourthly, panels themselves are not susceptible to burning, corrosive action of water and detergents .Fifth, are excellent noise insulation material.Between the wall and the panels formed airbag, which "absorbs" all sorts of sounds.

Installing PVC plastic panels

Installation of PVC plastic panels does not represent something complicated and can be carried out completely independently.However, it is worth to put the material itself of the packages, so that it "used" to existing temperature and humidity.Next, determine how to install the panels.

They can be attached to the crate or directly on the wall (this is sufficient to use only the glue).The frame is made of plastic or wooden beams, located on the approximate distance from each other 25-50 centimeters.

While these bars should have a perpendicular arrangement with respect to the future coverage.That is, if you intend to mount the panel horizontally, do crate in the vertical direction.And vice versa.The actual installation start with the corner of the room and move in the direction of the window or doorway.But first it is to mount finishing profiles.

If you bought a patterned PVC sets, then, as a rule, they already contain them: outer corner, inner corner, edging, connecting profile.So, the first panel is set spike, which faces the edging profile or corner.Moreover, this panel must fit tightly against the adjacent wall.Next

already joined to the previous one.Fixing by means of screws or nails.In order to properly circulate air between the panels recommend doing a gap of 2-10 mm.At the last stage, the installation of plastic moldings.
