Fastening of wall panels

As you know, decorative wall panels are made of different materials: wood, stone, plastic. Depending on the high cost of the material itself andthe cost of production, of course, will change the cost of a product of a certain type. But despite all the differences, the ways of fixing the wall panels are the same.

Fastening of wall panels can be performed in several ways. They can be "planted" on glue, profiles or crate. Let's consider in detail each way of fastening decorative panels for walls.

Plastic panels, unlike wooden ones, very light, because they are made of a universal polymer, from which also produce bottles, syringes,water pipes. Since the plastic panels are much lighter, they can not be nailed, but glued to the walls. By the way, also glued acoustic panels and panels with fabric padding.

Fastening of plastic panels begins with preliminary preparation of walls. Remove any wallpaper and anyroughness or roughness. The peeling paint should also be cleaned, otherwise the glue will not serve for a long time. Also, all cracks should be removed, and unevenness should be cut. Only after this, you can fasten the wall panels. On a dry and flat wall glued panels with acrylic or silicone adhesive. Be sure to keep the wall smooth and dry everywhere!

Fastening panels to the wall is often done in other ways. All the wooden panels are fastened to the laths - the crate. In this case, you do not need to pre-Align the walls. You should only attach wooden slats to the wall with the frequency that you need. Depending on the type of wall panels, the way of mounting on the crate may differ slightly: a "groove-groove" or "groove-groove" attachment.

Fastening of wall panels by the type of "spike-groove", as a rule, occurs in various materialsfor decorative wall finishing. Panels made of plastic and MDF are no exception. Fasten decorative wall panels to the crate with the help of clamps (special staples). But you can also use the so-called parquet nails.

Fastening of wall panels "groove-groove" is much more expensive, than in the previous case. And it's not that these panels are much more expensive than the others, because they are made of wood. In the costs also should take into account and additional profiles for the connection. In stores you can find both plastic and metal profiles. The metal profile will serve you not only as a frame, but also as a crate.

Plastic profile, of course, will cost you much cheaper. It can be fastened to the wall very quickly. But the fact is that The plastic profile can only be used as an auxiliary structure.

Another way to fix wall panels is profile fastening. This type of fastening can be calleda kind of profile "groove-groove". But here there are special features. In all the described methods, the wall panels would conceal the crate and the profile to which they are fastened. But in this case, the mount will act at the level with the panels. The fact is that the connecting grooves go into the grooves not on the panels, but on the profile itself. In this case, the profile grid will always be visible. But do not worry, because such fastening of wall panels is used only for wall finishing with various large-format modules. In addition, the protruding profile can always be turned into a part of the decor of your wall.

When you have already chosen the way to fix the wall panels, you can start working. Do not forget that panels can be fastened not only vertically or horizontally, but also with herringbone. You can combine the colors, width and length of the rails. Also you can use decorative inserts and lamps, with which you can create unexpected color effects.
