Plastic panels for interior decoration of walls today are quite common. Particularly popular are seamless panels that allow the appearance of a smooth wall.
The whole truth about plastic panels for walls
Speaking of plastic panels, they are credited with many virtues. Is it really so? Let's try to understand.
First of all, it is important whether they are really as safe as manufacturers claim. This is indeed so. Modern scientists and chemists have learned to make high-quality plastic without the use of asbestos, cadmium and other harmful impurities. In addition, such panels turned out to be even cheaper in terms of production technology. So in this characteristic you can not doubt.
Many speak of high decorative plastic panels. And in fact, the modern range of prefabricated plastic coatings is wide, and you can choose any option. In this we will see below when we consider the types of plastic panels. In addition, it is possible to apply any photo and image of anything to the plastic coating by thermal printing. So the plastic panels have long ceased to be a purely office or balcony option.
The plastic is convenient for finishing the hard-to-reach corners of the apartment and the house. And in fact, all sorts of niches and nooks can easily be paneled, giving them a completely decorative look.
We go further: they say that the plastic is durable and resistant to moisture. This statement is quite true. Plastic panels are ideal for finishing the walls of the bathroom, toilet and kitchen, because they do not deform under the influence of moisture and temperature changes. They also withstand significant loads, so you can even hang a picture on the wall or a light shelf. And with the very minimal care plastic will last 10-12 years of operation.
Myths about plastic panels
And now let's talk about what arouses doubts or is an outright lie.
For example, there is an opinion that before finishing walls with such plates it is absolutely not necessary to engage in preparatory work. However, the curved walls can lead to the fact that the joints do not converge, the plates will play ugly glare, and the curves of the plinth will be evident.
Another opinion: to trim the walls with plastic, you do not need special skills. It's not like that at all. To get a beautiful, high-quality result, you need to have the skills to work with special tools. But the attempts to dispense with an ordinary hacksaw and drill lead to the questionable quality of the wall covering.
Very often you can hear that the plastic is hygienic. Again, this can be refuted, because it is completely non-breathable material, so that the walls do not have the necessary balance between water vapor permeability and moisture resistance. In a bedroom without "breathing" walls you can not live, so you can decorate a separate section of the wall with plastic, but not all the walls completely.
Also plastic can not decorate the children's room because of glare and reflection of light. Psychologists do not recommend such a wall decoration for children's perception.
