Planning repairs in your apartment, we always think about what kind of finish walls and ceiling prefer. There are many options - wallpapers, tiles, wall panels, decorative plaster and others. Today we will talk about the siding as one of the materials for interior decoration of walls and ceiling.
This coating was originally used exclusively for external works, as siding along with the decorative function also performs protective and thermal insulation. But today it has become popular for interior decoration, and now you will find out why.
The fact is that siding has significant advantages when using it for interior decoration:
- practicality - taking care of this material is easy, while you can use water and any detergents;
- siding does not exfoliate, does not swell from moisture, does not peel off and does not fade with time;
- ease of installation - for such repairs it is enough to have minimal skills in construction, because the siding installation is available even for beginners;
- Do not need additional work on the preparation of walls - they do not need to be leveled and plastered;
- absolute fire safety - siding does not support combustion, it slowly melts without releasing toxic substances;
- excellent ventilation of the walls - the coating is made in such a way that it lets both air and moisture pass through, so that the walls under the siding "breathe" and do not collect condensate on them;
- and, of course, aesthetics - the walls, finished with siding, look very fashionable and cute.
Another advantage of the siding, which should be specified separately, is its rather low cost. With all the characteristics listed above, such pleasant prices for this finishing material have made it so popular.
Types of siding for interior decoration
Modern industry offers us many options for siding design, among which it is easy to find exactly the one that you need. The main criterion of choice is usually the material itself, from which the panels are made.
Vinyl PVC siding today is widely used for interior decoration. Being made of synthetic material, it can imitate various surfaces (wood, stone, brick, bamboo , etc.). Siding made of vinyl is characterized by an optimal ratio of quality and price, and also has excellent performance properties. Its PVC panels have a relatively low weight and are easily mounted on the crate, so you always have the option of laying an additional layer of insulation between the siding and the wall.

For interior decoration of the balcony or a closed veranda, metal siding is often used. Its main function, in addition to aesthetic, is to warm the room. The combination of steel with polymer coatings gives on the exit a finishing material with increased wear resistance, which is usually decorated with various prints. They can reproduce the texture of natural stone or logs and seem to differ little from them. As for the resistance to mechanical influences, this type of coating is very strong, which is advantageous for, say, plastic siding for interior finishing.
