Wall panels installation: advantages of technology

Quality repairs in an apartment, office or home can be done using modern materials for finishing the ceiling, walls or floors based on MDF. Mounting of MDF wall panels will provide sound absorption and high thermal insulation of the premises, as well as excellent hygienic characteristics. It's easy to take care of them, it is enough to wipe them once a month with detergent without abrasives or a damp cloth.

Installation of wall sandwich panels has a number of advantages before using other finishing methods. When performing the finishing works, it is not necessary to prepare walls beforehand (to make leveling, cleaning from putty, old coating and other operations).

The installation of wall panels is carried out on a frame base, which makes it possible to use the space formed between the panel and the wall to perform sound and heat insulation, as well as for laying communication lines (antenna, telephone cables). In addition, such materials are easily mounted to the ceiling, which allows you to embed various lights, and if necessary, the panels can be quickly removed.

An undeniable advantage is also the possibility of combining them. The installation of wall panels is performed both vertically and horizontally, and it is also possible to compose a composition with a diagonal arrangement. A wide range of colors simplifies the solution of various design and complex design tasks. The most common method of fixing is the vertical arrangement of the panels.

Before installing wall panels, you need to take care of the necessary materials and tools. It can immediately be noted that the facing of the walls does not require the presence of specialized devices and equipment, while for the execution of work it is not necessary to be a highly qualified specialist. For installation, you will need a level, a tape measure, a drill, a hammer, nails and screws (screws).

It is most convenient to purchase wall panels complete with molded and fastening products (platbands, fillets, plinths, staples, etc.)

Before buying, you need to calculate how much material is required to produce all the work. To do this, you need to measure the height of the room, as well as the perimeter of the room.

To perform the installation of wall panels, you will need wooden blocks, with which you make the crate, the wooden foundation of the future design. According to the installation technology, the distance between the carcass planks should not be more than half a meter. Having determined the height and perimeter of the room, you can calculate the number of rows. In addition, a wooden base must be made along the edges of window and door openings.

When purchasing materials, it should be borne in mind that with a standard panel length of 2.6 meters, about 10 cm will be wasted, since the height of the room in ordinary apartments is about 2.5 meters. However, this is not necessarily the rule, since different manufacturers may have panels of different heights. In addition, it is necessary to make a correction for the notch-comb, which reduces the width of each panel bar by 5 mm.
