Video apartment renovation, instructions for repair. Decorating the walls and ceiling with plastic panels with your own hands with video tutorials.

At the moment, this type of finish is one of the most economical. Also, sheathing with plastic panels is used to level walls or ceilings. Decorating the walls with plastic panels is suitable for any room, and the video will help you figure it out. Plastic does not need any special care, surfaces sheathed with plastic, you just need to wipe with a damp cloth from time to time.

Before starting work, you need to decide on the color and amount of material. Make all measurements of the room and, assuming that the panels are 0.5 m * 3 m, calculate the required amount. Panels come in other sizes, so it is recommended to go to the store where you will buy materials and check all sizes. The number of joining profiles (moldings) should also be calculated in advance. All necessary materials should be taken with a small margin.

The panels are fixed to the wooden lathing. Therefore, you must first decide how the panels will be located - vertically or horizontally. If vertically, then wooden bars are attached to the wall vertically in increments of 0.5 m. Then horizontal bars (3 pcs.) Are fixed on them. If it is horizontal, then the lower bars are horizontal with a step of 0.4 m. We measure the elements of the crate and calculate the required amount. It is better to buy slats with a length of at least the height (or length) of the wall. A suitable cross-section of the bars is 4 cm * 2 cm or 6 cm * 4 cm. The wooden frame is mounted to the wall with dowels and screws or with nails. Each element must be checked with a building level, especially if the walls are very curved. Decorating with plastic panels with your own hands hides irregularities, but for this you need to set the bars evenly.

Install the starter molding, if no ceiling is used, at the top and bottom of the wall. Then corner, external or internal, depending on where the cladding is coming from. After installing all the profiles, we start installing the panels. Bending slightly, the panel is inserted into the starting profiles, and then all the way into the corner. It is imperative to check the installed canvas with a level. The panels can be fastened with metal holders. After installing the canvas, the holder is inserted into the edge of the panel and nailed to the wooden frame. You can also use staples or screws for fastening. Thus, all panels are installed up to the corner. In the corner, set the corner profile again, etc.

When facing the kitchen, installation should be carried out with a small gap between the panels, since the temperature regime in the kitchen is not stable. And with a significant increase in temperature, the plastic will expand. Now we watch the video and fix the material.
