The modern interior is a new approach to design, using only aesthetic design solutions. Relatively recently, such material as PVC (polyvinyl chloride), a type of plastic, has entered the list of leaders. Despite the dominance of white in it, many brands have long been producing options with increased decorativeness, color and texture. There is a demand for products with imitation of natural wood, stone, brick. PVC has excellent technical characteristics. Resistance to adverse effects has made polyvinyl chloride one of the most versatile materials. The panels are used to decorate technical and residential premises, walls and ceilings, interior and facades. PVC cladding has virtually no weaknesses. Even in terms of repair planning, plastic products have surpassed other options. A key parameter of PVC panels is dimensions. They determine the installation location.
The basis of the panels are two plates with a connection in the form of stiffeners. One of the surfaces is front and contains a corresponding decor. The structure of the panels was provided as durable and neat, hidden. As a finishing material, PVC panels have undeniable advantages. They do not absorb moisture and are resistant to mold. Despite their high strength, PVC plates are flexible. This property prevents possible damage during transport. The low weight of the casing provides a minimum level of load on the bearing surfaces. The color scheme, texture and parameters of the panels are wide enough to provide the designers with options worth considering. PVC is an environmentally friendly material, which is also easy to process and assemble. At the same time, the panels will last for many years.
Advantages and disadvantages
PVC is an example of a material with a minimum of flaws. This, however, does not mean that it will find application everywhere. Resistance to moisture is one of the key parameters for which PVC panels are valued. And due to the low price, these plastic products are available to almost everyone. Finished cladding can be disassembled at any time without risk of damage. If access to some communications is required only occasionally, then the plates are installed directly on them.
Incombustibility is also included in the list of positive qualities. Hazardous compounds are released from contact with fire, but almost all materials have such a disadvantage.In contrast to external strength, the internal fragility of the structure acts. Damage to the hollow structure of plates with only stiffeners from sudden movement will occur, and possibly serious ones. In addition, some options look too cheap.
If the choice is between PVC and classical materials (wood, metal, stone), then the first should be chosen - not least because of the variability in properties and appearance.
Varieties and their sizes
Plastic panels are distinguished by a number of criteria, in general, the following modifications should be highlighted:
tiled;
wall;
leafy;
lining;
with 3d effect;
thermal printing / thermal transfer;
laminated.
Planks are intended for external or internal decoration. Outdoor options have fewer variations with respect to size. Interior materials are more decorative, wall - a wide selection in terms of size. An ordinary plastic lining has fixed dimensions. For the version with seams, the typical width is 10 cm and the thickness is 1 cm. Seamless modifications are usually used only as a material for an improved layout. The width of seamless products is 10, 25 or 38 cm, and the length is 2.7 or 3 m, sometimes 6. Sheet panels have a more balanced ratio of length and width, so it is convenient to assemble compositions from them. The same goes for tile panels. The ratio of their sides, as a rule, is 1: 1, less often - 3: 2. Panels with drawings and original shapes have a small line of sizes. Width is usually 25 cm.
Tiled
The option is used not only in technical rooms like a bathroom and kitchen. Tiled panels of large sizes and non-standard shapes are purchased in the living room. Bathroom decoration most often consists of simple square items. In large bathrooms, the parameters reach 1 × 1 m - on the walls, ceiling. Modular options with many spike joints are laid on the floor.Small bathrooms are best lined with 10 × 10 cm panels with inclusions in the form of texture elements. Mosaic compositions are attached to the surface by bonding between the elements and glue. Meter samples are often placed in kitchens, corridors, terraces. The undeniable advantage of plastic is its external variety. Giving this material an unusual shape is much easier than ceramic. As a result, any combination of ornaments, textures and colors becomes available.
Wall
Wall options for any form factor have a thickness of 6-8 to 12 mm. Seamless modifications have a length of 2.6, 2.7 or 3 m and a width of 15-50 cm. The length of standard panels is represented by a wide range - from one and a half to three meters. The longest options are buying for offices. Custom-made 6- and even 10-meter planks. Wall panels are standardized. In addition to unusual options, there are nine standard sizes for sale. For a width of 100 mm, lengths of 2.7 and 3 m are provided. A figure of 175 mm corresponds to a 3-meter. With a 238 mm version, 2.6 m is available. 250 mm wide panels are 2.7 or 3 meters long. 375 mm products have the same fit. Three-meter panels come in increased widths: 400 or 500 mm. The standard dimensions are also a width of 1035 mm with a length of 0.5 m, and 1220 mm at 2.44 m.
Leafy
Sheet panels are distinguished by a "knocked down" configuration. Sheets cover a lot of space at a time, greatly facilitating work. Sheet products are suitable for the embodiment of interesting design ideas. The length indicator of the panels is in the range of 95-245 cm, and the width is 50-122 cm. The thickness is usually small - from 3 to 6 mm. Sheets are made thin to hold the mass of products in an acceptable framework. However, some manufacturers make thick options. Sheet elements are not only of the correct form, there is also a brick option on sale with edges intended for folding parts into a puzzle. In addition to the brick pattern, imitations of wood, tile, mosaic and slate are made. The most common parameters are sizes 980 × 480, 980 × 498 and 955 × 480 mm.The optimum thickness for such sheets is 4 mm.
Lining
PVC wall paneling has the following size standards: length - 3-6 m, width - 100 mm and thickness - 10 mm. Type-size products are used primarily for exterior decoration. To use them indoors, just cut the length. Textures and drawings are applied on a seamless lining. The material is seamless and generally has high aesthetic qualities. At the same time, for decor, seams sometimes “turn” into a plus. Seamless system panels have standardized dimensions. Widths are 100, 250 and 380 mm. The indicators correspond to a length of 2.7, 3 and 6 m. The thickness, as a rule, always remains at the level of 10 mm. For lining the ceiling, wide lamellas are chosen, and for walls, on the contrary, narrow. Regardless of size, the installation of the lining is the same and the same for different situations. It is recommended to form a metal base, especially when it comes to seamless structures.
With 3D effect
3D products decorate apartments, private houses, public places, office and shopping centers. Volumetric drawings are able to expand the space, and better than glass, mirrors and light shades. In addition to the print itself, the coating can simultaneously simulate stone, tile or wood. Customers have a large selection of effects, and there should be no problems with the proper decoration of the room. Buyers are offered options in widths of 250, 370 and 500 mm. The length of the lamellas is 2.7 or 3 m, and the thickness is 8-10 mm. 3D design capabilities are not limited to drawings. Coverage of products may contain large bulges - instead of playing shadows and color depths. Such plastic strips are also called 3D panels. Volumetric plastic coatings are mounted much easier options from other materials. And their additional advantages are:
design variety;
simplicity in leaving;
favorable ratio of price and quality.
With thermal transfer or thermal printing
The manufacturing principle consists in the formation of a pattern or image on a polymer film and the subsequent temperature exposure to transfer the pattern to a plastic panel. Actions are performed on special equipment. The process is called thermal transfer. Products have gained popularity due to their high resistance to high temperatures and thermal effects of steam, heat and direct sunlight. Assembly of the system will not cause difficulties even for beginners. The dimensions of the material are reduced to standard values: 250 mm - width, 8-10 mm - thickness, 2.7, 3 or 6 m - for length. Thermal printing makes it possible to apply drawings of great complexity to PVC panels in almost any color and shade. The technology works thanks to high temperatures and accurate counts. The thickness is traditionally 8 mm, and the full parameters, respectively, are 300 × 25 × 0.8 or 270 × 25 × 0.8 cm.
Laminated Products
The material is made by gluing a film with dressing and images on the front side of the panels. Manipulation gives PVC strips improved performance. It will not be easy to spoil the drawing, and the plastic itself will receive some protection against mechanical stress. Laminated products are treated with an antistatic agent so that dust microparticles do not accumulate on the image surface. The decorative film is coated with a transparent polymer. The quality of the panels is confirmed by the corresponding certificate. As for the sizes, the thickness of the product is usually in the range of 8-12 mm, the length is either 2.7 or 3 m, and the width is 250 mm. Coloring of plastic panels is carried out with special compounds. They hide natural imperfections in the form of minimal irregularities, smooth them. The surface of laminated products is either glossy or matte.
Calculation of the required material
Wall and ceiling panels have standardized parameters.For the first option, the following indicators are provided: length - 2.5-6 m, width - 250-300 mm, thickness - 6-12 mm. Narrow elements are easier to assemble. Ceiling slats have the following parameters: length - up to 10 m, width - 125-380 mm, thickness - 3-5 mm. The ceiling version may be less than the wall, because the load on the ceiling is always less. The calculation of the amount of material begins with measuring the perimeter of the base under the skin. The perimeter of windows and doors is subtracted from the result, and the resulting indicator is divided by the perimeter of one panel. Calculations are translated into the definition of area. Opposite sides of the room are summed up and multiplied by height. The area of windows and doors is calculated only in one plane, by multiplying the height by width. The difference between the results is divided by the area of one panel.
Calculation of the material will not cause difficulties, but planning the original configuration will require special calculations.
Panel Tips and Tricks
It is better to carry out the installation of the strips by the efforts of two people, first of all, when it comes to covering the ceiling or gluing skirtings. When drilling and cutting panels, you need to protect your eyes with special glasses. Cut the trims with a hacksaw for metal or a hand saw. Skirting boards are mounted on plates with glue - one narrow strip is applied to the wall, the other to the finishing material. The nails in the panel are hammered neatly and slowly, because the dents formed on PVC cannot be smoothed out. Installation of panels begins from the left corner of the room. The first thing they do is set the inner corner. The panels are mounted on the wall after installing the upper and lower skirting boards, since they need to be inserted into their connectors. Remove dirt and plaque from the finished coating should only soap solution. Due to aggressive cleaning agents, yellowness forms over time.
Some more tips:
The selection of the ideal size takes into account the parameters of the nests: unsuccessful calculations will lead to loss or the formation of bends.
A surface without a frame should be pre-primed.
Technology and installation methods
Planks are mounted on the principle of a tongue-groove with a contact depth that allows you to quickly assemble and disassemble the coating. There are two main installation methods: on the frame (crate) and without it. In the first case, a metal base with rectangular openings is assembled. In the second - such a crate is not needed, only approximately flat walls and a base of glue or cement are enough. The disadvantage of this option is the difficulty of replacing individual elements. The ceiling is finished only in a frame way, and this is due to the possibility of hiding communications and placing in some places built-in lighting devices, for example, spotlights. The material is glued to the walls - to create the most durable surface. Plastic constructions last longer if they do not bend from pressure along the edges. If the skeleton method is used, it is better to glue the plastic to a pre-attached drywall.
Scope of panels and beautiful examples
Plastic should not be used over the entire area of the walls, if moisture exchange is of great importance in the room. For example, a mini-greenhouse with a dozen flowerpots will spoil the continuous finish with PVC panels. But in places with fast pollution and high humidity without material like plastic can not do. These include slopes of windows and separate rooms: a bathroom, a kitchen, an entrance, balconies and loggias. The panels are in perfect harmony with plastic windows and doors. The ideal combination, however, can easily grow into excess if you equip the interior thoughtlessly. But well-chosen panels will decorate the situation in almost any style direction. A wide selection of textures and drawings is open to customers. With minimal design skills, it’s not difficult to make a high-quality room in space, sea or historical subjects.
Bedroom
For the bedroom, silence and a comfortable temperature are important.PVC panels will not only benefit the design, but also organize high-quality heat and sound insulation. From the side of the headboard, the bed can be decorated with original plastic panels. Options in white are suitable for a youth interior, for example, for the design of an alcove. Lining in the color of wood make up the bedrooms in wooden rustic houses. How expensive cladding use panels "under the panel." Plates are also combined with wallpaper, with color contrast or in tone. The material is also suitable if the bedroom is planned in the spirit of minimalism with neutral tones or in a restrained version of the classic style. A room in the color of confectionery and in a marine theme with a predominance of blue and blue is also a suitable environment for cladding with a PVC lining.
Bathroom
In this part of the housing, the panels will definitely not be redundant. The color of the seams on the tiles often deteriorates, and it is the PVC finish that is a profitable alternative. PVC plastic is not only “not afraid” of moisture, but also does not deteriorate from temperature contrasts. In case of problems with the water supply or communications under the panels, the task will be solved promptly, and the cladding will be restored just as quickly. For the bathroom, light colors are more advantageous. PVC plates make the color even deeper and enhance the visual expansion of the space. Straight lines between panels add expressiveness to the interior. In the bathroom, options with a wavy pattern or texture will be relevant. Traditional woodwork, along with the same plumbing fixtures, is a perfectly acceptable solution for bathrooms. Panels in principle go well with glass, metals and ceramics.
Optimal colors for the bathroom:
blue with white;
blue;
green with white;
green with pink;
brown with white.
Kitchen
Like the bathroom, the kitchen “requires” design with moisture-proof materials. PVC coating does not interfere with wet cleaning.In combination with decorative properties, panels become the best option and gradually displace tiles from dominant positions. The trend is also supported by the low cost, ease of installation of PVC sheathing. At the same time, the decorative properties are approximately on par with the tiled floor. Even an untrained person can assemble panels. This is an additional saving. Indoors, it is appropriate to use all types of coatings: glossy, matte and satin. Drawings and photo printing will not worsen the situation. The apron is trimmed with skins - a type of PVC panel. The space near the stove is decorated with LSU sheets. For kitchens, heat-resistant options are selected and these properties are asked first of all.
Living room
The guest room is not accepted to be finished with one material completely. PVC sheathing is combined with different types of coating. Modern style in the living room is realized with the help of spectacular transitions. For example, one of the walls is covered with a clapboard, and the rest are “put” in color contrast to it. In the living room, the use of panels “under” the skin, brick, stone and wood is relevant. 3D version of the panels on the ceiling - the ability to significantly "increase" the height of the room. The same design methods are used on partitions, arches, columns and other elements of the halls. Panels perfectly emphasize horizontal niches that are increasingly found in living rooms. Tile-shaped plates are used to form a special design, with connections at different angles, at different levels and with integrated lighting. At the same time, the choice often falls on panels with natural or artificial wood patterns.
Conclusion
PVC continues to gain market position. This process began with the fashion for plastic windows and doors, and then designers and ordinary lovers of spectacular design appreciated the quality of the material. Plastic is known primarily for its beneficial properties. You can mount the system yourself, and this is only one positive point.PVC does not deteriorate from moisture, does not ignite, is cheap and has a presentable appearance. Characteristics of the material made it reliable and durable. PVC panels are now used almost everywhere, and this is not necessarily a uniform white cladding. In addition to the usual oblong panels, sheet and tile are available to customers. They come in regular and irregular shapes, with a width of 10 cm to 1.2 m. A particular type of material has drawings or three-dimensional shapes. They are made with a convenient width 25 cm for assembly.
