How to install PVC Panels
pvc panels as the important material used in building industry. how it is installed? we show you the correct installation for your pvc panels for walls and ceilings. you may find yourself an export in installing pvc panels after reading through this s
Installation Instructions What you have to remember:
Use the panel for indoor uses only.
The background must be sound, dry and in good condition.
When using the panels in high pressure shower areas, use silicon sealant in the
groove on the back of the lip for a water-tight seal.
Before fitting panels around sources of heat, for example radiators or fire places,
make sure the temperature level doesn't exceed allowed level of 140ºF (60ºC).
Decorative plastic panels are a decorative covering that offers many benefits as they are
waterproof, maintenance free, extremely versatile and very easy to install. Our panels can be easily applied to any surface. By fitting them yourself using our easy guide, you won't have to hire costly professionals.
All pvc panels are tongue and groove and need only simple tools to fit and attach them.
Plastic panels can be stuck to any surface including uneven surfaces, with little or no
preparation required. Decorative plastic also offer a range of finishing accessories such as edge trims, internal and external corners, cornice trims and skirting boards that ease the task of fitting and ensure a perfect finish, whatever your room is shaped.
Surface preparation In the majority of the cases there is virtually no preparation needed - the panels can go straight onto brick, cement block, plaster, timber wall studs or stud-work and can even go over existing ceramic tiles.
Sometimes bathrooms are half-tiled. In that case tiles can be left in place and the top half leveled out to the same level. Before starting installation, make sure that the extra thickness of the wall paneling does not interfere with the operation of existing fixtures such as bath taps, shower mixer valves and doors. If the surface is very uneven, wall studs can be used to achieve a level surface and then the panels can be attached to the wall studs. Position studs with 1 to 2 ft (30 to 60 cm) intervals.
The use of studs allows you to install cables for switches, plugs for power supply, phones
sockets etc. Pl.s note that building codes might require that panels thinner than 1/4" be
installed over a non-combustible backer over timber studs. Such panels should be installed over a solid, non-combustible backing such as gypsum wallboard.
Cutting the Panels
Panels can be easily cut or trimmed using a hand saw, table saw, portable circular saw, jig saw or sharp utility knife. We recommend using a fine-tooth saw. The finer the teeth, the neater the cut you will achieve.
I
nstallation
Panels are normally fixed vertically i.e. from floor to ceiling; however panels may also be fitted horizontally if the shape of the room makes this an easier option. Similarly, ceiling panels can be run in either direction. Of course, you may have a preference as to which way you would like run the panels for visual effect.
Fitting Instructions:
Decorative plastic panels are easily fixed to almost every surface. Depending on the type of wall or ceiling you can choose different types of fitting.
Nailing:
Apply nails evenly and level in the panel lip. Be careful not to hit the panel with the hammer.This method only applies when fixing the cladding to a wooden surface or battening. Make sure the battening is flat and level, packing out where necessary on uneven walls so that when applied the cladding does not develop curvature and follow the walls contours. In cases of damp and uneven walls we recommend the use of treated timbers for battening. Ensure that you leave sufficient ventilation behind the cladding by providing air gap.
Screw fix:
Apply screws through the panel lip as shown in the diagrams below. Screw fixing can be made to wooden wall studs. However breezeblock, brick or plasterboard will require the wall to be plugged before screwing. When the first plank is fixed in place the next conceals the previous fixing see diagram below.
Stapling:
You can use stainless steel staples when fixing to plaster or wooden wall studs - this method is particularly suitable when using wall studs. Always make sure your wall studs are flat and level, packing them out where necessary on uneven walls, this will prevent the panels from developing a curvature following the wall contours.
Gluing:
This is the method most preferred by many installers however you can only use adhesive
when applied to a dry, even wall. The wall must be free of any greasy substances and dust.Only use specialist adhesive. Below is one of the methods aimed to minimize the use of trims and achieve very neat and professional look and feel:
Ceilings:
Use the same installation technique when fitting panels onto the ceilings - apply adhesive to an existing ceiling or wall studs and fix the panel with staples to hold it in place.
When fitting halogen ceiling lights there needs to be a 10mm gap between the halogen bulb and the panel. Once the panels are installed there might be other items that you need to fix to the walls, such as soap dishes, shower curtain rails, etc. For lightweight items you can fix directly to the panels using plaster plugs or through the panel into the wall. For larger or heavier items you it is recommended that you fix wooden wall studs behind panels where accessories are to be fixed. Use of spacers between the wall and the surface of the fixed panels is also recommended when fitting heavy items
