Brick is considered one of the traditional finishing materials. It is distinguished by environmental friendliness, durability, durability, solid appearance. However, the brick always was distinguished by a high price, so not everyone can afford such a finish. Decorative panels "under the brick" - one of the excellent alternatives. About the advantages and minuses of such a cladding in this article.

Features

Polyvinyl chloride is a popular material that is used today in many industries, including in the construction sector. PVC panels with brickwork imitation were widely popular and numerous positive consumer feedback. First, it is due to the beautiful aesthetic qualities of the material. Secondly, such panels are incredibly functional and practical.

Many have already managed to get used to the plastic facing of indoors. This trend appeared relatively recently, but building materials of this type are already declared one of the best on the market. The PVC panels are ideal for someone who wants to create a beautiful interior, but at the same time limited in the budget.

The PVC panels are produced with the addition of special softening components with molds, which makes it possible to repeat the brick texture and give the product natural volume. After that, they are subject to staining or salary with a special film with imitation of brick coloring.

The following types of material are available:

• rush;
• plates;
• leafy.

Vinyl panels are considered accessible and user-friendly. They are safe, resistant to damage, are not susceptible to exfoliation and peeling. Cheap varieties of material have a homogeneous, smooth surface. More expensive options are distinguished by a very interesting "brick" texture.

PVC panels have excellent operational properties, sufficient strength and long-term use. Unlike the real brick, such panels are pleasing to the abundance of shades. If you wish, you can choose the material in natural colors, but contrasting colors look in the interior no less beautiful.

It is worth noting that most of the manufacturers of PVC panels carefully work out the relief so that it is as much as possible to existing brick varieties today.

Today, you can find a variety of brickwork imitation options. These are products of natural light and dark tones, an image of aged materials, trendy white, black "bricks" and much more. A variety of color solutions allows you to select an option that perfectly fit into any interior.

Polyvinyl chloride - modern unique materialResistant to wet and aggressive environment, so such panels can be used even when lining the bathroom, hallway and kitchen. Also sometimes they are used as a material for facade finish. There are single and two-layer (based on polystyrene foam) products.

The panels "under the brick" are sometimes used to hide the wall defects. In this case, installation of framework technology is carried out when the "brick" is installed in front of the direct laying of the brick or the plywood wall is shed. This allows you to slightly strengthen the trim, since polyvinyl chloride is a sufficiently soft material that is easy to deformation.

Typically panels are installed on glue. At the same time, the presence of small irregularities on the wall is not an obstacle for high-quality material laying. In case of cladding, minor deviations are allowed, and the curvature, on the contrary, can give the waste of naturalness.

Thus, the scope of the panels includes:

• facing the inner walls of residential and public buildings;
• decorative interior decoration;
• finish terraces, loggias, balconies;
• facade finish (in some cases).

Although these materials are included in the affordable price category, some of them differ in high cost.

The formation of the price is influenced by several factors.

1. Brand manufacturer. The price of products of famous brands is overwhelmed by the company's fame.
2. Specifications. Thicker and thick products are a bit more expensive.
3. Design. The cost can affect the color, complexity of the pattern, the quality of the paints used.

Advantages and disadvantages

The PVC panels are a unique finishing material that can be used for both wall cladding, and for decorating podiums, columns, simpleness. For several years, they enter the list of sales leaders, and all because they are distinguished by the impressive list of advantages.

You can select seven reasons for which you should pay attention to the decorative PVC panels.

• Durability. Manufacturers managed to achieve a long service life of products. Modern options are able to maintain their operational qualities up to 15 years.
• Decorative functions. In addition to impeccable imitation of the texture of natural material, the panels are able to hide the irregularities and defects of the walls, as well as elements of communication systems.
• Easy mounting. The panels are easily cut by the usual stationery knife, which allows you to customize the products under the desired size. In addition, they differ as low weight, therefore are suitable for cladding frowning designs.

• Practicality. Products are unpretentious in leaving, resistant to most external negative factors (such as humidity, mold, pollution, dust, fungus).
• Design. Realistic texture and wide color palette allow you to use panels in the interiors of residential buildings, apartments, offices, cafes, hotels. They are perfectly harmonized with other finishing materials and do not need finish staining.
• PVC panels are visually driving And do not reduce the space.
• Maintainability. If necessary, you can easily replace the unusable element of the facing without dismantling the entire canvas.

Like any other material, the PVC panels have several minuses.Facing, made by panels, has sufficient strength. However, with careless circulation, the material is easy to scratch or break. In addition, some types of panels do not tolerate low temperatures. That is why they are not recommended to be used as a facade cladding, although styling of products in unheated buildings is allowed.

Of the disadvantages, you can also note the low resistance to fire: PVC bricks are not ignited, but under the influence of high temperatures are quickly deformed. Therefore, they are not used to decorate fireplaces and stoves.

Nuances of Montaja

PVC plates are easy to install, but want to create an ideal decorative wall, do not forget about the key rules of the technological process.

Before stacking panels, preparatory work should be carried out:

1. the walls are cleaned of traces of the previous finish;
2. remove all pollution;
3. close up cracks and repair damaged places;
4. if the surface is strongly deformed, it must be aligned.

There are two ways to install product data:

• gluing;
• fixation to the crate.

In the first case, high-quality glue compositions are used to work with PVC. When choosing glue, it is worth considering its purpose, the composition and thickness of the plates.

Adopted glue using when laying on smooth surfaces. The crate is set in cases where the walls are too deformed, and there is no possibility to align them. There is a second reason - the presence of the crate makes the cladding more durable and protects it from the appearance of dents and deflection.

How to glue?

As already mentioned, at first it is necessary to prepare the wall, clean it from unnecessary details, old whitewash or facing, get rid of dust and fat.

First stage of work - primernecessary to protect the surface from mold and moisture. It also contributes to the best adhesion with the basis. Complete drying of primer occurs within 6-12 hours.

It is worth noting that the process of salaling with panels only at first glance seems easy. In fact, it requires special skills and accuracy.

You will need:

1. building pistol;
2. sponge;
3. mineral solvent for removing excess glue (water can be used);
4. sealant.

Working with liquid nails is better with the help of a construction pistol. To do this, cut the tip from the packaging and screw the cap, pre-cutting it. Insert it into the connecting pistol connector.

Involuntary brickwork looks good in the interior of apartments and houses. It is used when decorating the rooms in the style of Hi-Tech, Loft, Fusion, Pop Art and a number of others.

• wall panels under the white brick fit well in almost any interior;
• the set of square form variants are relevant if necessary on the surface of the base of a unique geometric pattern;
• pretty large, sheet varieties are used in spacious premises that do not contain protrusions, niches;
• products from MDF are subject to negative impact of moisture and sun rays, which is why the material is not suitable for the kitchen (in the area of \u200b\u200bwashing), bath decorations, baths, saunas, toilets;

PVC panels under the brick appeared relatively recently. The plates with brick textures can be made from various materials, differ from each other in style and mind. Polyvinyl chloride panels are used in construction quite often due to its peculiarities and advantages.

Features

PVC panels under the brick are manufactured mainly in two versions. They can be intended for internal and external finishes.

These species have certain differences.

1. PVC panels used for outer decoration are characterized by persistence to high humidity and temperature drops. They provide weather conditions and demonstrate resistance to various types of weather precipitation.
2. Wall leaf panels for internal work are usually performed from a natural material characterized by environmental purity. They are smoother and wonderful look at the walls. You can purchase them different sizes with a unique structure.

• If one panel was damaged, then it can be removed and installed new. The only thing that requires accuracy.

Varieties

Panels having a brick texture are several species.

They are classified depending on which material is based on, therefore it is worth allocating:

• PVC panels are a solid material that includes polyvinyl chloride and additives of special seals;
• MDF slab, where wood chips act as the main raw material.

Panels that mimic brickwork can have different specifications, design, method of manufacture and color. Only one thing remains unchanged - an external approach to brickwork.

The panels are produced in the form of sheets, rails or plates. The front side has a brick texture or imitates a natural stone. Through special blanks, manufacturers create realistic volumetric laying on which resistant paints are applied and a film is pasted with a characteristic pattern.

Typically, panel data are installed on the frame, which is very convenient if there are any defects and irregularities on the walls. In some cases, the glue composition is used to install the panel.

Small irregularities are also not a barrier, since the material is characterized by excellent flexibility, which is why minor deviations will not be noticeable. On the contrary, small irregularities allow you to look like a coating as much as possible, what many designers seek.

Features and requirements

Facing material that is used for interior decoration, must meet the following requirements:

• it should be characterized by high strength, but be flexible and elastic;

• There is the possibility of combining finishing work with insulation, and you can also apply a layer of waterproofing.
• You can stop your choice on PVC version, which is characterized by a low cost. This will allow you to significantly save on finishing work.
• Polyvinyl chloride products are characterized by a long operational period. They are made of safe and durable material, which is not dangerous for the human body. The same characteristics are distinguished by plastic panels.
• To carry out the walls of the walls using PVC panels under the brick, you do not need to call the wizard. You can do it yourself. You only need to follow the installation instructions.

Please note that the installation can be carried out exclusively at temperatures above -5 degrees Celsius. Otherwise, the panels will become very fragile and may be damaged at the slightest impact.

Installation

PVC panels under the brick are installed on the prepared frame, it does not matter which relief they have. The appearance of the made facing work will depend on how correctly the framework is installed. This is the most difficult in the installation of PVC panels, since the geometric correctness of the plane depends on this method.

Tool preparation

To perform high-quality PVC panels, it is necessary to purchase the following materials and tools:

• metal or wooden rails that can be purchased at any construction store, but they can be supplied with panels;
• simple thread or plumb required to check vertical;
• perforator, dowel and screws for installation.

Please note to make a frame frame, it is necessary to pre-process the material with an antiseptic, because it will increase its service life.

Installation of carcass

PVC panels must be in the same plane. First you need to make a markup that must be made as accurately as possible.

This can be done as follows:

• it is necessary to attach a thread to the wall, which will allow you to immediately determine the deviations of the plane;
• to the resulting size must be added to the thickness of the insulation, and to do it in a small plus. Please note that when you are fixing the insulation, follow its safety, because the deformation will lead to the loss of its main properties. It will be necessary to leave the gap 1 cm;
• a lift throughout the plane is carried out, where the attachments are made using a dowel or anchors.
• it is necessary to attach intermediate rails. In this case, it is necessary to be based on the width of the insulation, while it is not recommended to fix them at a distance of more than one meter from each other.
• After installing the frame, you can begin to fit the waterproofing. The film should be laid by the camist.

Fastening

At the very beginning it is necessary to install the upper bar. Using the thread, it is necessary to determine the location where the bottom rake will be located. Next you need to secure intermediate strips. Now you can start the mounting panels decorated under the brick.
