PVC wall panels are a fairly popular decorative material used for finishing ceilings and walls.
To begin with, we can say what advantages this decor option has. In rooms with high humidity, the PVC panel is appropriate to use, since it is not at all afraid of moisture, therefore it is actively used in swimming pools, as well as in bathrooms of industrial and residential premises. In unheated rooms, such material is appropriate to use, since it is resistant to frost, which allows the use of panels on loggias, balconies, in cottages and other premises of this kind. The PVC panel can very well be used in office and residential premises, as it is environmentally friendly and also does not emit any toxic substances. In polluted rooms it can be used due to the fact that it is well washed, and this allows you to successfully operate such elements as a decor for ceilings and walls.
The PVC panel has a decent appearance, which is achieved through offset printing, which is used for printing on the upper surface of the drawings. A layer of glossy or matte protective coating is applied on top, providing frost resistance and antistatic, increased resistance to various aggressive influences and ultraviolet.
PVC panels for the bathroom are quite practical and convenient, due to the lack of need for surface preparation (that is, it is not necessary to peel off the paint, plaster the walls and primer them). The owner of the premises can quite independently install such elements, without the need for a whole team of craftsmen, as well as special equipment and a set of tools. If you choose this material as a finish, then the cost of repairs will be noticeably reduced, and its terms will also be more shortened.
PVC panel has a number of advantages:
- Isolation. The material has properties for sound and heat insulation, which ensures the coziness and comfort of the premises for work and housing. Between the wall and the panel you can covertly lay engineering communications systems.
- Convenience of installation. Installation is allowed in various directions. For example, PVC ceiling panels are preferably mounted diagonally.
- Durability. Polyvinyl chloride is the most durable material of all existing. Products made from it are resistant to temperature extremes, damage, not susceptible to mold and mildew, corrosion and pests.
- Antistatic. Due to the fact that the surface of the material is made of plastic, it does not trap dust, which greatly facilitates cleaning. To clean, it is enough to wipe the surface with a damp cloth.
The PVC panel for walls is presented in many options. They differ in cost, size and color. There is such material as wall paneling, which is quite affordable, while it looks great. Another option is laminated panels that are more decorative.
All types of panels are actively used in the repair of modern apartments.
