Before you start an independent repair or update the design of the living area, you need to familiarize yourself with all the available finishes on the market. It is worth noting that their range is huge. Thanks to this, it is very easy to choose the necessary texture, color scheme, and decoration. Designers recommend paying attention to the bezel.
What are bezels?
By broad definition, this can be called the use of any overhead material for decorating the interior or for practical purposes. Its scope in the house is completely unlimited, as well as the raw materials from which it can be made, as well as their combinations (including plywood, fabrics, soundproof varieties, etc.).
In the narrow sense, a factory removable false panel made of wood, chipboard, MDF, PVC, metal, plastic, and ceramic tile is immediately presented. As a rule, it has a beautiful lining, at least on one side. The scope of factory parts is limited depending on the properties of the raw material from which the product is made.
If when choosing a design only personal preferences are taken into account , then it is worth choosing the right combination of materials and consider additional decoration, for example, the use of light sources. In the case of aesthetic rejection, such a solution will quickly change color, perception of ornament, etc.
A false panel is used for the kitchen, bathroom, hallway. If you choose the right material, then it is perfect for decorating a bedroom or living room. Practice shows that this type is ideal in cases where it is necessary to hide the fatal flaws of walls, ceilings, floors, furniture or what you need to have constant access to (pipes, shields). Less commonly, they are used as simple or sliding partitions, doors.
Design design
From the above, we can conclude that the appearance of false panels can be absolutely anything. It is not problematic to choose a complex color or shade of the future finish, you can make a pattern of many small drawings or, conversely, collect a large whole picture of small elements. The false panel (prices from 2500 rubles and above) is presented on the building materials market with a wide selection of color schemes and ornaments.
This material can be an excellent imitation of ceramic tiles, masonry or wood.
The disadvantages of bezels
If you use the false panel correctly, then, as a rule, it has absolutely no drawbacks. The only thing that can serve as a limitation is the use of certain inappropriate materials in the field of application. For example, in a kitchen, it is undesirable to install a panel with a low level of fire resistance. This is at least unsafe. It is not practical to use false panels in a bathroom made of a material that can be exposed to moisture.
Features of false panels
Once you have decided on the appearance, you can begin to study the materials that make up this type of finish, as well as its additional coating.
Chipboard panel is very fragile, it is destroyed by moisture and temperature changes. It is clearly not suitable for the kitchen and bathroom. Partially these material deficiencies are eliminated. For this, water-repellent impregnation is used, due to which the area of possible application will significantly increase.
The use of a false panel is well described by the saying "The case of the master is afraid." If you approach the installation wisely, then there will be no shortcomings (this also applies to installation). The main advantage is versatility. This type of finish can be selected for absolutely any room, since there are absolutely no restrictions in appearance.
The use of false panels in the kitchen
False panel for the kitchen is most often mounted around the perimeter of the working area. Inserts of various shapes are also used to hide water pipes and meters. In the first case, a surface that is easy to clean is set up. In the second, a small section of the wall is enclosed with windows that are needed so as not to disassemble the entire wall, if necessary. When installing some headsets at the bottom, a layer appears between the floor and the place where the legs are attached. They place panels for the beauty and ease of cleaning the floors.
Bezels for the bathroom
The raised panel for the bathroom offers ample opportunities for bold decisions. It all depends on the imagination. The whole room is designed in accordance with the idea or its specific part. Most often, the wall portion to which the bathroom is glued is glued; at the touch point, a special
adhesive tape is used that forms a corner. This is to ensure that water does not drain through the cracks on the floor. Also often sliding panels are installed under the bathroom itself. It turns out a home-made locker in which you can remove some things. The bathroom should be well ventilated, so there is no need to close the ventilation. With high humidity, fungal bacteria may appear on the surface in the form of mold.
How to mount a bezel?
The installation method depends on the application. The simplest and quickest installation of a conventional wall includes the following steps (using a level):
If the false panels are designed for floor or ceiling, then the mounting should be different. The floor and ceiling are first leveled (the installation of ceiling panels is identical to wall ones). It is advisable to fasten to the floor tightly so that the canvas does not suffer from deformation due to constant load.
Installing a false panel is the most acceptable procedure for the arrangement of any residential premises, whether it be part of a room or the entire interior. Installation is simple, but requires certain skills, and the scope and design will appeal to any consumer.
