The scheme of finishing the bathroom wall with plastic panels.

Decorating in the bathroom is always the most time consuming work. Very often you can hear the question of decorating the walls in the bathroom. There is always high humidity here. The temperature jumps require the selection of a material that is resistant to such constant influences. And the decoration of the walls should not violate hygienic requirements. It should be easy to maintain and wash.

Wall decoration

First, preparatory work is carried out. If the crate is installed, it is first necessary to remove the old coating. All roughness and roughness should be fixed. The bumps are removed only where the fastening of the bars of the crate will be performed.

If the panels are fastened with special glue, then the walls should be carefully leveled. They should not remain old coating, the walls must be absolutely dry.

With each method of finishing the walls before starting work, they must be treated with a liquid antifungal solution. As a result, mold will never appear on the walls.

Installation of laths

If the finish in the bathroom is made with plastic elements, the masters advise not to use a lath made of wood.

The fact is that joints of such products will never have an ideal tightness. The moisture that falls under them will begin to destroy the wooden structures.

For this reason, when finishing the bathrooms, it is best to install plastic profiles.

Professionals recommend:

1. When installing the strips, you must constantly ensure that their location is always in a single plane.
2. To create good ventilation, it is necessary to maintain a gap between the plastic and the wall. The size of this gap should not exceed 3 mm.

When constructing a crate, the neighboring elements should be 40 cm apart from each other when the walls are peeled off, and 30 cm when the ceiling is peeled off.

The parts of the crate must be mounted at an angle of 90 degrees relative to the arrangement of the panels.

In other words, the panels should be installed in the bathroom in an upright position. In this room, this will be the best option. The lining is made parallel to the floor in this case.

After installing the battens, you can proceed to install the panels and decorate the walls of the bathroom with plastic panels.
