Today plastic lining – one of demanded finishing materials applied at construction and repair of rooms. There was it about 30 years ago and has quickly managed to get great popularity in the construction market thanks to the practicality, durability, wide range of application and modern esthetic look.
The history of origin of lining is connected with the railroad. Initially still wooden rails sheathed trains. From there was also name "lining". It was normal smooth, direct board with side grooves for coupling with other similar parts. Over time this type of otelochny materials began to be applied widely at internal and external repair of rooms and construction of houses. But today tree – not the most demanded material. Also yields the position to new types of finishings, more hi-tech and practical. The PVC plastic lining from polyvinylchloride became such.
Polyvinylchloride – waterproof polymer with long life cycle.
Properties of plastic lining
Lining from plastic represents the panel with the hollow divisions (cells) going longitudinally located inside. Such form and other qualities provide to the panel high technical characteristics.
PVC lining is durable, is not subject to rotting, maintains both very low, and very high temperatures (+/-500 C), the vlagoustoychiva, is not fire-dangerous, provides noise isolation. Besides, for many years, lining is capable to keep attractive exterior, hiding defects of wall. And modern producers offer very wide range of design of panels – various flowers (more than 40) including under tree, stone, brick and so forth. And also lining is produced different look – the single-band and the "plane table" consisting at once of several strips. And one more important merit of this finishing material – low price. All these characteristics allow to use widely panels at repair and construction. But as practically any product, at the PVC panels has small minuses too. First, it is insufficient mechanical strength – on such panels it is not recommended to hang up cargo in more than in 1.5 kg. Secondly, from heavy blow the panel can be deformed (there will be dent). Therefore performance of installation works and further operation demand accuracy and careful attitude to material.
Use of plastic lining
Plastic lining is applied in modern construction both to internal, and to external works. At material selection it is necessary to pay attention to instructions on packing, - for what works any given type of panels is intended. Lining for external works is more resistant to temperature drop and influence of sunshine. During the external works lining is used when finishing walls of both private, and multifamily houses, balconies and at construction of fences. Correctly to make calculation of number of the panels necessary for external repair or facing, it is initially desirable to know parameters of the PVC most lining. Standard lining has the sizes 100 x 6000 or 3000 x 10 mm (one panel) at thickness of 10 mm. It should be noted that eurolining has a few other parameters. It should be considered at material selection. Besides lining differs by method of fastening of panels among themselves – is seamless and to seam.
Width of seamless lining is 250 mm.
It is possible to fix plastic lining to surface in several ways. The most widespread method – on clip-on earrings and glue. And here self-tapping screws apply very seldom since it breaks esthetics of overall view of the updated wall. To mount lining on clip-on earrings, it is necessary to establish previously directing profiles perpendicular to future direction of panels at distance of 50 cm. Fixture (clip) on which the PVC panel will be latched will be attached to them. Such way demands additional expenditure, efforts and some skill. It is possible to stack panels both in cross option, and in longitudinal. If it is difficult for you, then on condition of ideally plain surface (wall, the balcony body and so forth) it is possible to fix lining on liquid nails directly to the trimmed plane. If wall not ideally equal, at first it is worth filling or attaching self-tapping screws of rail and to them already to paste lining. Not to be mistaken and attach lining according to all specifications, it is the best of all to watch before works on the Internet one or several videos with exact explanation of all stages and nuances of mounting.
Mounting on liquid nails has essential minus: it will be much more difficult to change the lining panel, than in case with clip-on earrings.
The covering of external walls of houses lining has undergone some changes in recent years. Normal standard panels were succeeded by siding – finishing material for facing of specifically external walls of buildings with the parameters and characteristics which were more suitable for this purpose. And lining continues to be demanded and popular finishing of internal rooms of buildings. During the internal works lining is applied to facing of rooms of balconies, the lower tier of kitchen, the hall, bathrooms, ceilings. For commercial purposes at offices and supermarkets too, as a rule, apply plastic lining. Due to big reflective effect it visually increases space. Besides it is very easy in leaving and has such property as water repellency. For internal rooms it is the best of all to choose lining seamless. It creates ideally plain and uniform surface that is important at design internal rooms. Though this type of panels has the "but" - it is possible to fix such lining only by means of clips and as differently. But you receive esthetically sustained plane, reliable and high-quality fastening both in case of need opportunity easily and quickly to replace the damaged panel. Begin mounting of plastic lining with room corner, far from entrance. Part of the last leaf is cut if necessary, and joints with surfaces close decorative elements.
