Modern finishing building materials allow you to quickly and efficiently carry out repair work in residential premises. One of the varieties of such materials that our compatriots love is PVC sheet or secondly, plastic wall panels. They are practical, cheap and aesthetically attractive, and installation work will not take much time. Practically in every hardware store selling decorative plastic, you can get detailed instructions that will describe all the stages of the work in sequence.

Polyvinyl chloride panels can be assembled in various ways. The simplest option is to attach them to a pre-assembled crate. At the same time, the frame can be mounted both from wooden slats and from a special metal profile. Modern types of profiles are equipped with special fastening brackets.

Whichever method of fastening you choose, finishing with PVC panels begins with fixing the corner profile in one of the corners. The profile snaps into place with the tab of the bracket. The first strip is inserted, which is fixed to the frame with staples, self-tapping screws or dowels. Each subsequent strip of plastic is placed in the previous one according to the "spike-groove" principle and is attached to the crate. These actions are repeated until the entire room is lined. The described technology does not require preparation of the walls and ceiling.



There is another way of finishing the space with plastic sheets. If the surfaces are perfectly flat, you can do without installing the frame and simply glue the product to the walls and ceiling. Another condition for using this method is low humidity in the room to be decorated.

The durability of the PVC panel and its price is determined by the quality of the polyvinyl chloride used by the manufacturer, as well as the method of creating the decor. Modern decorative plastic can be painted in any shades, decorated with drawings and photographs. In addition, the surface of the product can be given the required texture. Laminated strips of plastic are considered the most expensive, durable and beautiful. They are practically indistinguishable from natural wood, brickwork, stone surface, fabric or leather.
