Transfiguration dull bathroom into a neat bathroom. Economical repair. PVC panels: the installation on walls and ceilings

In previous articles I have talked about how to make a frame made of timber as a base for the veneering material. Now the time has come to direct the beauty of the walls and give them a finishing look.

Technology cladding plastic lining simple. The panels have grooves on the principle of "male-female" that hold them together along the entire length. Each new member is fixed to the wall (the frame in this case), and it is installed next, and so on the entire wall area.

Basically, PVC panels are sold in 2,70-3,00m length. To cut to the desired length, I used a simple clerical knife with replaceable blades and a metal ruler. Mark and cut the front part of the panel, held several times with a knife, not much in the process of pressing. Once all the ribs are cut, the panel can be bent at the joint and cut the rear side. The vertical incision technique is similar, with the amendment that the fins are not found.

To create a neat joints and corners I used a special profile. It is sold in 3m long and is made of a rather flimsy plastic. I cut it to the desired length grinder with a thin metal circle, cut a smooth, than the clippers.

Installation of panels I started from the corner located next to the toilet. The first profile in the form of the inner corner is attached to the vertical bar with the staple gun. "Papina" side first lining is inserted into the groove of the profile, a ceiling and a bottom plinth compound (internal angle) immediately put on it. On the other side panel has a tab that is adjacent to the bars, and it is attached by means of the same stapler.

The second panel is inserted into the grooves of the upper and lower profile and tightly pressed against the first to fully close the gap therebetween. This is very important because in addition to aesthetics, we need to give our maximum moisture walls. With one hand I pressed the panel to the previous one, the second fixed the end of it to the bars.

The last panel of the wall is not attached, and held solely because of the profile, so it is important to become extinct the width of the final element, without allowing gaps. Pre profile wearing the last detail, it is inserted in its place. Another angle profile is fixed to the beam, it is inserted in the next panel, and the process continues until all oboshyutsya wall.

When the walls are covered, you can proceed to the ceiling moldings. Ceiling moldings have been incorporated when working with the walls, and it will form the edge of each panel. Fix them do not need, you just have to beat every detail to the two bars in the central part of the ceiling. The corresponding panel I had previously cut out two holes for light fixtures. The last element is put first, above the plinth and then inserted into the groove of the previous panel. When the cut is important to correctly extinct width skirtings, so she came over the entire length on the plinth.

At this stage of repair bathroom much prettier, walls and ceiling have acquired its final form. Not only are trimmed box, hiding the pipe and bath apron.
