Repairing a bathroom or toilet is a complex and expensive undertaking. Cutting costs is the dream of everyone involved in putting their housing in order. How to do this? The easiest way to use PVC wall panels . They are cheap, easy to install and clean.
For the bathroom, they should be selected carefully. The room is rather cramped, with no windows, and is very passable. The walls there need to be finished, given all these circumstances. Washable panels are suitable for decorating the door area, next to the cabinet for cleaning products and space for dirty clothes.
Other benefits
Best for decorating the bathroom are wall panels in pastel shades of PVC. By strength and other properties, they are an excellent material in order to make a beautiful and practical finish. They can well cover all defects, including existing wall irregularities.
Features of color selection
If your toilet does not differ in size and good lighting, it is better to diversify its interior by choosing PVC wall panels of variegated colors, without bumping to the extreme. In this case, dust and dirt that inevitably appear on the walls will not be visible.
Since the bathrooms do not have natural light, bright panels with the presence of pearlescent shine will do. The room will look unusual if you try to combine different colors. This can be done on one of the walls, but it can be done on all.
In order not to visually reduce the size of an already small room, it is better not to trim it with material that has a large pattern. However, a bright PVC wall panel will be a good solution, the photo (the price is about 300 rubles apiece) which is in any catalog, which will greatly facilitate the choice. They will give the bathroom an indescribable charm.
You can consider the option of using the material with photos on it. Such panels are usually mounted on the farthest wall. This will not only create the impression of a kind of “window”, which will visually expand the space, but also refresh the interior.
How to fasten?
Traditionally, they are mounted on a frame. It is optimal to use a metal profile, since it does not deform under the influence of moisture in the air. But it’s cheaper to use a tree treated with antiseptics that prevent the development of fungus and mold.
The frame of the bars is fixed to the walls with dowels. Note! It is necessary to carefully check the position of the beam with a building level and a plumb line, since otherwise the panels of the wall PVC will be crooked, which will not add to their attractiveness.
They are screwed onto the frame with self-tapping screws. Attach to a clearly audible click, because otherwise they will disperse over time.
Other purpose
If you have problems with soundproofing the room, you can lay sound-absorbing materials between the panels and the wall . In addition, it is optimal to lay communication cables in the same space so that they do not spoil the appearance of the room.
As a rule, the dimensions of PVC wall panels are 25-30 cm wide and about 2.5 meters high. So the middle bathroom can be closed with hygienic material, without spending a lot of money on it. Given that PVC panels are not rotten, you can forget about repairs for the next ten years or more.
