To date, plastic panels are the most products that are used in a wide variety of rooms. With this material, walls of residential buildings, enterprises, public institutions are separated. Of course, such a prevalence arose for no accident. The thing is that modern plastic panels have many advantages that make ordinary people make a choice in their favor.

Every year the amount of such products is growing rapidly. If at the very beginning of the 2000s plastic panels were considered something new way, now it is the most familiar material for finishing. It is important to keep in mind that worthy competitors in this product are really extremely small.

In this article, we will consider in detail the most important features of modern plastic panels, as well as analyze the technology of wall decoration by this material. Rating a little in advance can be safely said, even people will cope with finishing works without experience in repair and construction work, and the appearance of the premises will immediately transform. It should also be remembered that plastic panels can only be one of the components of the walls.

Features of modern plastic panels

It is not a secret that every year the range of products in construction stores is growing significantly. Thanks to such a positive trend, we have the opportunity to choose exactly the products that best suits a variety of parameters to a particular room.

It is that on sale you can find panels of different widths, density, lengths and colors. If we are talking about the products for wall decoration, then these are the most important characteristics for which you need to pay attention to first.

Moreover, it is necessary to pay attention to other characteristics of plastic panels. Gradually, the strength and durability increases, thereby not having to beware of the fact that the material can be easily damaged. Accordingly, plastic products will be in the dwelling will be the excellent component of the interior. Moreover, it can be both simple design and large-scale conversion of a gray room into a cozy and solid room.

Indeed, the plastic panels are designed to realize an amazing design without any problems, and the original and with the most unusual features. It is also interesting that a few years ago, plastic products looked quite modestly, and now it can be easily used in any spaces.

The main advantages and disadvantages of plastic panels

Unfortunately, plastic panels have a lot of negative sides that need to be carefully analyzed. However, the merits of the production are much more, and we will analyze them first:

• Attractive appearance. As we said, modern plastic panels look simply amazing. Thanks to modern equipment and technologies, we get really excellent products that can be safely used in any interior. Also do not forget about modern technologies. In today's conditions, you can contact the manufacturers directly to make any of your ideas associated with the design of plastic panels. You can easily get products that have original textures or images. Of course, it will be somewhat more expensive than just get the panels in the store, but the final result will be uniquely attractive and exactly what we need. If companies that are engaged in the release panels for personal orders follow modern trends, then designers who will help to determine the idea of \u200b\u200bthe customer, and also demonstrate how the finished panels will look in the interior. This uses computer designs for design.
• Harmfulness. At first, when the plastic panels began to be sold in construction stores, many people have been wary of this product. The fact is that then plastic products differ in not the highest quality, along with this, the substances (cadmium, asbestos and others) were used when the panels are released, which did not best affect people's health. In modern conditions, specialists managed to get rid of these substances, so plastic products can be used in children's rooms, and in medical institutions. Despite the fact that almost all this products are harmless, buyers often come across panels made on the basis of old technologies. This, of course, is desirable to avoid. Authoritative manufacturers who have long been on the market have all the necessary licenses and complete information about plastic products.
• Practices of application. Plastic products have fixed dimensions, thanks to which you can withdraw the millimeter and use one or another panel in the interior. This is especially good for the reason that the material unit can be mounted on any surfaces. For example, it may be a place where we have some kind of object that prevents repair. The battery is easily hidden behind the panels, just like pipes, wires and other communications. In this case it is also important to draw attention to the fact that such repair decisions do not affect negatively on the overall interior of the room, since it is really easy to make an error. Spaces, oversaturation by plastic panels - not the best solution.
• Durability. Plastic products will serve at least a few decades, and during this period it will save its initial properties. It is worth noting that this is a truly important face of the material, as the previously plastic panels of the chests, became fragile. The situation has changed in a positive side, and despite this, poor-quality panels are still coming across. In this case, you should not pay attention to too cheap panels that do not look quite presentable.
• Alignment of walls. This positive characteristic is known for a very long time. With the help of plastic panels, you can easily align the walls, and for this you do not need to process the base surface of the walls. This is a particularly good solution if we have strongly damaged walls. Of course, if the structure is simply cracking and deformed, the plastic panels will not help, for this you need to carry out large-scale restoration work of the whole house.

Negative side of plastic panels:

• Combustion. Unfortunately, the plastic panels are combustible, and this is a fairly serious problem for residential premises. It is worth noting that independently set fire to plastic products will be able to work with difficulty, but in other cases where there is a focus of ignition, the panels will also ignite. From this situation there are only two outputs: either not to mount plastic panels, or to relate to fire safety as much as possible. If the plastic lights up, then a terrible chemical smell appears, as well as smoke, cutting eyes. All this also negatively affects human health.
• Hygienicity. Unfortunately, in terms of hygienicness, plastic panels are frank outsiders. This product should be cleaned regularly. Moreover, the panels do not "breathe at all", so they are better not to install them in the bedroom. Also, do not forget that this material reflects the light, so it is not always advisable to apply the panels in the children's room. Thus, it can be concluded that in rooms where people spend too much time, the panel is better not to use. To avoid possible health problems, you need to clarify all these questions with the manufacturer.
• Installing panels. Despite the fact that for many, the installation of plastic panels may seem elementary, in this process there are many subtleties to be paid to. Ultimately, the owners make a choice in favor of installing panels by professionals. Further in this material, we will consider in detail the process of installing plastic panels with their own hands.

Accordingly, before buying plastic products, it is necessary to take into account each of the aspects presented, in order to later, during use, no unexpected situations arose.

Wall decoration by plastic panels

Tools and devices

To install plastic panels, you often need the following list of tools:

• electrolovik;
• construction stapler;
• plastering coat;
• kiyanka;
• building level;
• stuslo.

Some other tools may be needed. For example, many can use a roulette for measuring room dimensions.

Creating a crate for panel mounting

Plastic panels are attached directly to the crate, which is the basis of this design. In turn, the pebble consists of metal profiles (sometimes from wood bars) that need to be properly positioned.

• To begin with, the starting, finish and guide profiles are set, or if we create a wood cage, then starting the bars from the bottom of the wall. The step between the elements of the crate should be about 30-40 cm. For the bar profiles are attached perpendicularly. It should be borne in mind that the location of all the elements of the crate should be as smooth as possible. To check horizontal or verticality, use the construction level. Bruks and profiles are attached to the wall with the help of dowels or self-tapping screws. The design itself will have a small weight, but it is worth taking care of a reliable attachment.
• To securely install plastic products, you must have moldings and corners at your disposal, which are often offered by sellers in building stores along with panels. These elements hide all the joints and disadvantages of the design. For example, if we connect two parts of plastic panels, you need to use connecting molding. We also need starting molding, which will be the basis for mounting plastic panels. For example, we placed molding from three sides of the crate, and with the fourth start the installation of the panels. After completing this process, it is necessary to install the last molding. With this situation, even the mounts for the panels will not be required. Approximately the same situation with internal angles, it is necessary to use the corresponding molding.
• For a more reliable attachment, you can use the above building stapler, but it is necessary to do it carefully so that this decision does not have a negative on the external component of the space.

In the wood elements of the crates, without any problems, to nail the panel with nails. However, again, it is necessary to do it carefully, since there is a high probability of damage to products. Moreover, after attaching nails, the plastic resource is already unlikely to be reused.

Corners and moldings can be attached to the crate also with nails or self-tapping screws. It is in this case that it is necessary to observe maximum caution, since any deviations when attaching a corner can entail too serious consequences.

If you decide to abandon corners and similar elements, you need to pay attention to the mounting panels directly to the crate. Wood bars should be used as the basis of this design. Thus, the panels have a key system, part of which is not visible to us after installation. Accordingly, in these parts of the panels you need to fasten the stapler. In any case, the unit of material that is set to the latter will demonstrate this method of fastening. Accordingly, it is still necessary to use the corners at least for the decorative effect.

If the wood elements of the crates do not correspond to the desired value of the verticality, it is possible to put it under its separate parts, for example, pieces of plywood, and then attach to the wall using self-samples.
