Specialization: Capital construction works (Laying the foundation, the construction of the walls, the design of the roof, etc.). Domestic construction work (laying internal communications, roughing and finishing). Hobbies: Mobile communications, high technology, computer equipment, programming.

Recently, I have a dispute with my older son than to separate the walls in the toilet. He also went to my footsteps and now receives higher architectural education. So we have a debate, sometimes there are serious.

For a long time we discussed how to shove the walls in the restroom, is it possible to make a shower of plastic panels, how to do if you break the wall between the toilet and the bathroom. It was broken quite a few copies and we never came to the general denominator.

Therefore, I decided to tell you about the most popular, from my point of view, methods of decorative finishing simply toilet and, in case the demolition of the wall between the toilet and the bathroom, the entire plumbing room.

This is not an instruction on finishing, but an overview of existing opportunities. After reading them, you can choose the appropriate option for yourself. After all, most likely your second half is already planning to repair for the near future.

Popular wall finishing options

Immediately make a reservation, I will offer my favorite ways to finish, and those who prefer the Son. Therefore, to make it easier for you to choose than to deny the toilet, I will give pluses, and the cons of each option.

The overwhelming majority of our compatriots have a bathroom and toilet - the smallest rooms in the dwelling. That is why, by the way, many ask how to demolish the partition between the toilet and the bathroom to make one, more spacious room.

However, due to the specifics of the use and internal microclimate characterized by high humidity and significant temperature fluctuations, it is necessary to use finishing materials to repair the toilet, which can not only decorate the walls, but also protect them from unfavorable external factors.

Option 1 - wallpapers

This way of finishing the room comes to mind first. In principle, I have repeatedly met the toilets, assessed by wallpaper. However, the specificity of this method of finishing is that the wallpaper should be chosen not expensive and beautiful, but those that will withstand operation in the toilet.

There are several varieties of wallpaper, which distinguishes from each other not the price and appearance, but specifications. A brief overview of the available varieties I did in the table below.

Type of wallpaper Characteristic
Paper It is necessary to buy wallpapers in the toilet, a hydrophobic layer coating. In this case, the wall decoration will be better to resist wetting. In addition, only so you can somehow wash the walls.
Vinyl The material is absolutely safe, sufficiently durable and does not destroy from wetting. To give your restroom beautiful and stylish look, I advise you to use smooth or foamed trellis. From embossing it is better to refuse, since this relief on vinyl is very difficult to wash.

I want to say a few words about the vinyl film. Yes, it is easy to glue, and it is well wash. But believe me, it is unlikely to satisfy the appearance of the restroom after such a finish.
Fiberglass Wallpapers with specific operational properties. Excellent tolerate the impact of moisture and open fire. Do not destroy under the action of household detergents. Have an attractive appearance.

Even in the case of the purchase of particularly durable moisture-resistant wallpapers, some parts of the walls I recommend to separate with other materials (tiles, plastic). Especially in those places where frequent contact with water is assumed. After all, neither vinyl, nor paper, nor fiberglass of such appeal simply will be prevented.

Personally, I can say so. If you decide to separate the toilet with wallpaper, then buy products based on fiberglass. Only so you can achieve the optimal ratio of technical characteristics and appearance. But the cost of such a solution will be high enough, so you can choose other materials.

The only thing you need to take care are to align the walls and buy special glue. And it is better to hire an experienced master for this. After all, it will be very disappointing if the dear building material is spoiled.

Option 2 - Liquid Wallpapers

This finish option I highlighted into a special partition, as the liquid wallpaper, although they are called wallpaper, have nothing to do with paper stripes that are pasted on the wall. But they are great for finishing toilets - well tolerate moisture and look just wonderful.

Another advantage that bribes me is the simplicity of the finish process. They can be applied to any surface:

  • brick;
  • stucco;
  • plasterboard sheets;
  • ceramic tile;
  • glass.

Liquid wallpaper for sale ... dry powder, from which is done before use special mortar According to the manufacturer's recommendations. The material immediately performs the role of plaster, filling all cracks and irregularities, so nothing is needed to align.

I recommend using liquid wallpapers in new homes (which have not yet been given a constructive shrinkage). As the geometry changes, the decoration does not crack and will not suck. Significant temperature fluctuations in the decor are also not scary, so several times I made them toilet on a country cottage, where in the winter it was not supposed to include heating.

The advantage of these wallpapers is a wide variety of colors and textures. Often, cellulose, cotton, wool fibers and so on are added to the wallpaper. I also met the options with the addition of mica.

If you competely use the presented features, you can create truly amazing toilet interiors. No painting or tile will compare.

The unique ability of the wallpaper I consider the ability to absorb water vapors, creating a healthier microclimate indoors. At the same time, unpleasant odors are not accumulated in the walls. Therefore, if you wipe the walls regularly, they will always remain clean, and the air is fresh.

These wallpapers are not glued, but they are applied on the wall with a spatula. Then they smash and, voila, the toilet is ready (if everything was so simple).

Option 3 - Tile Tile

This method is considered classic. Ceramic tile for finishing walls in the toilet well tolerate mechanical loads and high humidity (including direct contact with water). Another plus I would call a large variety of sizes, colors and textures. And if adding friezes to this, then the design options even comes to my mind.

Well, naturally, I will not surprise anyone if I say that the tile in the toilet will last much longer than all other types of finishes.

The disadvantage of tiles can only be called the complexity of wall cladding works. Firstly, for this you need a considerable experience, secondly, the process itself does not shine cleanliness, and thirdly, it is necessary to know how to align the surface of the walls under the tile and prepare them to facing.

That is, you need to act according to the following scheme:

  1. Align the walls in the room. At first, plaster is used for this, then putty, after which the primer. And only at the end you can start laying tiles.
  2. Disguise engineering Communication. It must be done before you start facing. Often, drywall sheets on the crate are used to conceal water and drain pipes. And already put on them tile.

Reduce the labor-intensity of work with pipes can a built-in toilet in the wall. In this case, it includes a special installation with it, so you can not think about the liner of the pipes to the tank and fastening the cuff to the toilet.

  1. Put the tile. There is a special skill here to put the tile exactly and with the same distance between the details.
  2. Lose seams. This uses a special grout. By the way, choosing a fugu (grout) of some kind of color, you can pleasantly diversify the design of the tiled walls in the toilet.

Laying tiles in the toilet - the process is not easy.

To the same method of finishing, I would take a mosaic. In essence, the same ceramic tile, but very small sizes. She often had to separate the curved surfaces of a complex shape.

The material itself has a long service life, and alternating elements of various colors and shades can be created on the walls of the toilet's real works of art.

By the way, if you did not know, the mosaic is of different geometric forms:

  • classic square;
  • round
  • triangular.

In the store I met various varieties that differ in color and size.

Pretty mosaic is quite difficult. Although it is sold not separate tiles, but in the form of rolls, where each individual small item is attached to the grid. Naturally, preparatory work It will be necessary to carry out in full.

If you have one or more mosaic elements during operation, you can easily attach them to the wall using "liquid nails".

I want to add several branded tips from myself. You will undoubtedly appreciate them if you decide to use ceramic tiles for finishing your own toilet:

  1. Do not use sex tiles for cladding walls. Floor ceramics is too high and often contains additional heavy decorative elements. The glue, which is mounted tile, will not hold such elements, and they will disappear (well, if not for a new toilet or your mother's beloved cat).
  2. Tile for walls, on the contrary, does not fit for the floor. It is too thin and fragile. Putting it on the floor is dangerous, since it does not have an anti-slip coating. The slightest moisture - and it will get a big "boom" in the toilet when someone crashes on the floor.
  3. Optionally, to finish home toilet to buy expensive tiles, which is intended for intensive operation (for example, for public toilets). Considering that your restroom will walk much more people (Even if relatives from Riga arrive), the strength of the usual tile will be quite enough.
  4. Before buying a tile, I would advise to make a room plan with sizes, then go to the store. Most salons will help you plan the tile layout on the computer. Often this service is free.

Option 4 - Plastic panels

Use plastic panels for walls for the bathroom and toilet, I can advise those who do not want to spend a lot of money for repair. However, this does not mean that the restroom will be ugly and nonhygienic. The polymer panels do not spoil from water, easily wash and have an attractive appearance.

In the store I bought both monophonic, and multicolored panels several times decorated toilet with parts with bulk images. It turned out very nothing. However, in the usual supermarket this is not found, you will have to be ordered individually.

The advantages of using plastic panels for decoration of restrooms are obvious:

  1. The material has a long service life. At the same time, all its technical characteristics remain unchanged, regardless of moisture and temperature in the toilet.
  2. Panels retain their color unchanged.
  3. Due to the smooth surface, the products are easily cleaned and wash ordinary household detergents.
  4. Using panels with glossy surfaces reflecting light, you can visually expand the borders of the toilet.
  5. If you wish, you can choose a large width panels and make the walls of the toilet seamless (only with corners in the corners of the room).

All polymeric panels presented in the market are excellent for repairing the toilet. I can only give a few tips who are important personally for me:

  1. I prefer to buy products with a thickness of 8 mm for finishing toilets. They are strong enough to preserve the integrity with strong mechanical exposure (for example, if someone occurs on the wall in the restroom).
  2. Set the panels much easier than facing the walls ceramic tiles Or glue wallpaper. They do not need to be previously aligned, as the items will be attached to the crate.
  3. PVC panels have antiseptic properties. That is, inside the crate, contrary to the problem, will not begin to grow mold and grow fungi, which can cause allergies or more serious illness.
  4. Panels can be used not only for walls, but also for the ceiling.
  5. Under the walls with such a finish, you can easily hide any engineering communications.

If the walls of the toilet have already ever rinsed, then you can not bother at all with the installation of the crate. You can simply stick the panels to the pre-cleaned surface using the mounting glue.

Despite the strength, when the plastic is shoved. Therefore, to train boxing strikes in the toilet I do not advise.

Option 5 - Paint

This method is one of the fastest and simple. It is unlikely that there is a person who does not know how to paint one or another surface. Again, painting design is also limited only by your fantasy. You can use various options and textures, stencils and pamal and so on.

Often, in my practice, I met with occasions when paint from the walls in the toilet was peeled and climbed. So that this does not happen, besides what you know what to paint the walls, you need to know how to prepare them correctly.

I always prepare the walls in the following sequence:

  • stuccoining uneven walls in lighthouses;
  • introduce a layer of starting putty, which lines significant defects;
  • cover the wall with finishing putty;
  • i clean the surface with a special grid;
  • crash.

In principle, in labor intensity, everything is not so simple, but here you can save, as the paint is cheaper than, for example, tile or liquid wallpaper.

Option 6 - Designer Finishing

Well, the last finish option is toilet design designer. The name speaks for itself. Such a version of the design of sanitary premises can only afford people who are not constrained in cash.

The work on the preparation of the sketch is carried out by a specialist in design of premises. In his work, he can use any materials from available. I helped make repairs in the toilets, for the finishes of which were used:

  • granite;
  • marble;
  • malachite;
  • onyx and so on.

Naturally, this is not about close premises in standard urban apartments. Designers are separating toilets that are part of spacious country cottages. As a result, their fantasy does not limit the area and other similar factors.

The designer finishes are characterized by the use of various accessories. I saw in toilets and curtains, lights, and other products.

And a few more points that I have no right to mention. They will use you during repair, no matter what wall finishing option you chose:

  1. Even if you are not going to change the toilet, before starting work it needs to be dismantled. So it will be more convenient for you to work, and the faience product will remain more concerned.
  2. Before installing any type of finishing, I recommend to impregnate the walls with special antiseptics.
  3. Plinth for the design of the junction between the walls and the floor, buy with a secret mount. It looks more aesthetically in combination with any kind of finish.
  4. Do not combine in one toilet more than two finishing materials. It turns out alyappo and ugly.
  5. For repair, you will need power tools.. If you are not a builder, you do not need to buy them. It's easier to rent. Now many shops provide such services. And quite inexpensive.

  1. If you have a small toilet, I recommend to give preference to monochromatic colors without drawings.

Well, the last. Do not be lazy and do not regret money and change the sewer and plumbing pipes on polymer (if you did not do it before). After all, it will be very insulting to launch the beauty you created in the event of a breakthrough of sewage.

Output

Here about such options for decoration walls in the toilet we argued with your son. It did not come to a certain conclusion, as each option has both advantages and disadvantages. If you have already finished or only planning to repair in a restroom, write in the comments than we decided to separate the walls. It will be interesting to many readers, maybe I missed something interesting.

And if you do not want to write, see the video in this article. There you can find many interesting moments relating to the repair.

The toilet is the same important placement in the apartment as any living room, and therefore needs high-quality finish and beautiful design. This stage of repair includes lining of walls, gender and ceiling, as well as replacement of doors, plumbing equipment and accessories.

Toilet finishing options: trim tiles, wallpaper, panels, photos

The finishing of the toilet should be not only beautiful, but also practical. Decorative coatings are preferably choosing such that do not absorb smells and easily wash. The most popular wall panels, tile and, oddly enough, wallpaper.

Plastic panels are economical and convenient way Toilet finishes with their own hands. The cost of one square meter does not exceed $ 7, pleases and wealth color palette. The consumer today is free to choose between classical monophonic panels, bright samples with abstract patterns and patterns, as well as sheets imitating one or other texture (marble, wood, malachite, etc.). The length of one PVC leaf is 2.5-3 meters, it is enough for wall cladding over the entire length.

The toilet finish with plastic panels is possible not only on the walls, but also on the ceiling. True, in contrast to PVC wall sheets, the width of which is usually 30 cm, it is better to use plastic with a width of about 20 cm. In this case decorative coating It will look more harmonious and neat.

Tile is a classic genre. Toilet finishing tiles fits material different size. As a rule, the rectangular elements of 20x30 cm are laid on the walls. In order to visually expand the interior of the restroom, it is recommended to choose a tile covered with glossy glaze.

On the floor, the tile also feels good. However, in this case, the finishing of the toilet is better to perform with the use of material with a matte surface. Rough coating will save you from drops and injuries.

Wallpaper for the toilet is a rare, but possible option for finishes. When choosing wallpaper, pay attention to their properties. It is desirable that the canvas was moisture-resistant and had an adhesive surface. Vinyl wallpapers are also suitable. The last hits of the fashion became the so-called liquid wallpaper in the toilet, which can be viewed in our gallery.

Finishing toilet with plastic panels photo, how to separate toilet panels

Of all the listed options for the finishing of the toilet make it easier to work with wall PVC panels. To bind walls, you do not need to first align and rejuvenate surfaces. Under the PVC bar is very easy to hide the wiring.

The finishing of the toilet panels, the photos of which we have on the site, comes down to the three main stages:

  • surface preparation;
  • creating a crate;
  • actually installation of panels.

Preparation of the working surface involves the removal of old coating and removal of unnecessary things outside the toilet room. If there were wallpaper before repair on the walls and ceiling, then the installation can be carried out on top of them. The main thing is that the room is not too wet, and otherwise the fungus will develop on a new coating on the old rejection paper.

When creating a crate traditionally used a ram of 20 * 40 mm in size, but considering the specifics of the room wisely to make a crate from the metal profile. The distance between the elements should be no more than 500 mm. This is how the finish of the toilet can look, the photo is shown slightly higher.

The actual installation of the panels is quite simple. They can be attached to the crate of self-drawing with a press washer or a furniture stapler brackets. Each next bar is inserted into the previous, forming a single glossy coating. The advantage of PVC sheets is that they are usually manufactured with an abstract pattern that do not need to be customized during operation.

To the toilet looks not only well maintained, but also attractive, pay attention to the choice color Gamma. Finishing material. Visually expand the space will help the panels of light palette, namely a pale pink, sandy, deep, pistachio or beige tones.

Toilet finishing: ideas and solutions

What is better to use to finish the floor in the toilet?

The main qualities that the material should have the material used to finish the floor in the toilet are waterproofing and vaporizolation. And here the most common classic option is a toilet tile, which is distinguished by its durability, moisture resistance and practicality. In no case do not lay wall tiles on the floor, since it is not able to withstand significant loads. In addition, this surface has a low friction coefficient, and you will constantly scorify. Tile in the toilet should be not only attractive, but also practical. Do not forget about it when you will consider the options presented in the store.

How to detect the ceiling in the toilet PVC panels?

Toilet finish pVC panels You can exercise with your own hands. First, it is necessary to measure the perimeter of the room and, according to the size of the sizes, acquire PVC panels, starting strips, profiles (27x28 and 60x27), dowel-nails (6x40) and self-tapping screws (3.5x11). The profile 27x28 needs to be chopped and fix around the perimeter of a dowel-nail. Insert the jumper into the mounted profile (profile 60x27) and secure the design by self-draws. Starting strips are also fixed around the perimeter. Cut the panels, insert the first to the starting bar, the other side with the lock in the "groove" to secure the self-pressing to the 60x27 profile. The following panels are mounted similarly. Thus, the ceiling finish in the toilet is carried out quite quickly.

Wall mural made from unique material resistant to steam and liquid.

Which tile is more convenient to put: small or big?

To date, there is a huge selection of tiles, both in coloring and size. Large tiles (more than 25x40cm) are mainly used to quickly implancing the toilet. Buy material with a margin, because the tile will have to cut. The shallow tile (10x10cm and 15x15cm) is also not difficult to glue, but special attention needs to be paid to the seams. In the latter case, they also need a lot of grout. It is better to choose the classic tile sizes that lay easily and conveniently. Using various laying options, you can make the original and attractive toilet finish of the cafeter, the photo of finished works can be viewed below.

How to cut the plastic panels?

Many know how to seize the toilet with plastic panels, that is, they understand what the essence of this process is. But, on initial stage Works Even experienced masters are not rarely faced with a question - how can you cut the panels? The starting and angular profiles are better cut to the metal with the metal, and the panels themselves can be cut with a tree with small teeth (with a step no more than 2mm). But it is better to cut the plastic panels as follows: Handling for metal Cleave the ends of the panels, Next, applying a ruler, a sharp knife cut through the panel from the front side, folded in the place of the cut and finally cut through the fold line. Thus, the plastic panel will be cut smoothly and correctly.

Toilet design - How to visually expand the space?

You can visually expand the space of the toilet room in three ways: with the help of color, ornaments and patterns, as well as lighting. The use of light shades helps to visually increase the space. For example, many prefer toilet design from plastic panels, photos of finished interiors you can see below. Plastic panels have a variety of colors, and you can easily choose the appropriate color. If you need to visually expand the space, use horizontal ornaments in the design, and if you need to make the room above - vertical. As for lighting, the ideal option is the location on the ceiling or walls of point halogen luminaires.

How to close the pipes in the toilet with plastic panels?

Many concerns the question of how to sew pipes in the toilet with plastic panels correctly. First you need to install a frame from a metal profile in the place where pipes pass. Then you need to cut the pieces of the profile corresponding to the previously removed size. These cut parts are connected by self-drawing. After that, the design is fixed to the wall with screws and dowels. Next, the frame is cured with plastic panels, which also need to pre-cut to the desired size. Do not forget to make holes in the frame in advance to install special doors for free access to communications.

Plastic panels are becoming increasingly popular, due to the totality of their positive qualities that are satisfied with most consumers. This includes aesthetic appearance, a variety of colors and drawings, the possibility of light cleaning, practicality and affordable cost. This type of finishes for places requiring compliance with strict sanitary standards such as bathroom and toilet are especially well suited. In addition to the bathrooms, the PVC panels are used for the design of walls and ceilings of the premises of the hallways, as well as balconies and loggias.

Toilet decoration by plastic panels is optimal option For those owners of apartments that stood repair, but at the same time face the limitations of the "budget". Here traced double Benefit: In addition to the fact that the material refers to the publicly available price category, its installation is quite possible to produce on its own. The lack of need for additional costs for inviting masters is also an important advantage of plastic panels in front of other types of finishes.

How to choose high-quality plastic panels?

Due to the fact that this finishing material is in great demand, it is available in a wide variety. At the same time, in the assortment of stores, both high-quality products may be attended and products are not particularly conscientious manufacturers. Just looking at the plastic panels "with a naked eye", it is quite difficult to determine their quality, so when this material is selected, it is recommended to follow some tips. They will choose the material that will correspond to the stated characteristics and deadlines.

  • The material used for the manufacture of finishing panels should be in its composition additives that improve the elasticity of products. Thanks to them, the panels are relatively easily bent and they are quite difficult to accidentally damage the careless movement. If plastic is fragile and loses its strength and shape when pressed or under low impact, these are poor-quality panels. They will not last long, and the decorating walls during operation will quickly lose a respectable appearance.

- Try to click on the edge of the panel, capturing it with two fingers. The internal ribs of hardness should not bend or deformed, and visible dents are unacceptable on the surface.


High-quality panel when compressed by her fingers should not be rebuilt, and the internal ribs of stiffness - to deform

- You must try to start the mounting strip of plastic, located on the edge of the panel and the forming docking lock. The material is not something that should not break - in high-quality panels, this strip must return to the original state, without leaving the trace along the bend line.

- It is necessary to carefully consider the external plane of the panel. Through the top layer of plastic should not be shifted or fired in the inner ribs of stiffness, that is, the surface must be smooth and homogeneous.

  • Plastic should not make unpleasant chemical smells. If they are present, then from such panels it is better to immediately refuse. Surely the manufacturer to maximize the cost of the cost of products applied poor-quality raw materials or violates the established production technology. In the process of operation, such a finish will be allocated to the health of residents of the apartment or the house of evaporation. Such panels of without any doubt should be attributed to poor-quality products.
  • PVC panels are produced different widths. For small room toilet, it is unprofitable to acquire too wide panels, as there will be a lot of waste. However, much depends on the specific sizes and the panels themselves, and the toilet, from the need to install a decorative box to hide communications, from other specific conditions. If the owner has a spatial imagination, it will be completely able to present in advance which width of the panels will be optimal.

  • When choosing a finishing material, it is recommended to request a certificate from the seller, which species the manufacturer and marked the compliance of panels with all technical, sanitary and fire standards. If the personnel of the trading point cannot or refuse to provide the certifying documentation for realized products, the most correct decision will contact another construction store.

Preparation for finishing work

In order for the work on the finishing of the toilet room successfully, it is necessary to carefully prepare. Before making the installation itself, it will take measurements and acquire necessary materialsPrepare required tools, Perform some events for the processing of wall surfaces.

Measurement and acquisition of materials

The first step is made measurements of the room. The goal is to determine the surface of the surfaces of the surfaces, the number of finishing material. It is very important to immediately calculate the number of fittings that will need:

- for registration of inner and outer angles;

- for finishing the adjoits of plastic lining to the flow line and floor;

- for mounting cabinets, door, revision windows - if it is conceived by the finishing plan.

The choice of these profile elements will depend on the designer idea, the size of the room, as well as from the equipment to install the panels in certain areas.


The finishes itself, that is, plastic panels, it is recommended to buy by 15% more than the area of \u200b\u200barea showed - part will definitely go into trimming, and besides, it is impossible to exclude the likelihood of random damage or incorrect cut, especially when there is insufficient experience in conducting such works.

  • This will require material for mounting the crate. Since the toilet usually has a small area, the owners have to save every centimeter. Therefore, it is desirable to choose metal products for a frame or wooden rails in size in a section of 20 × 50 mm. The number of ridges is easy to calculate on the place, based on the height and width of the walls, while having in mind that the guides of the crates must settle down in increments of 500 ÷ 600 mm. In addition, the elements of the crate for a decorative box, the hiding pipe (if it is conceived), as well as for the ceiling frame (if the panel decoration is planned there).

To fix the bar on the wall, you will need a dowel with such a long so that they come into the wall at 50 ÷ 60 mm. Their number is also determined by the step with which they will be secured with their help guides. Usually it is 450 ÷ 500 mm.

  • To secure plastic panels on the frame, you need to prepare a self-tapping screw with a length of 15 ÷ 20 mm (depending on the type of drying - on wood or metal). When installing panels on wooden slats, the construction stapler with brackets is often used.
  • In the case when the walls are perfectly smooth (which is extremely rare can even be found in panel houses), You can save space and do without a crate. The panels in such conditions can be glued directly on the surface of the walls. For such installation, the glue type "liquid nails" or even one of the tiled adhesives.
  • If a wooden lamp is used, then the acquisition of the means to pre-process the design details, which will protect them from rotting.
  • A primer composition for ceiling and toilet walls will be required. It will increase the strength of the surfaces of the surfaces, reduce the likelihood of the appearance of mold colonies or insect nests in a closed space between the capital wall (overlapping) and finishing material.

Tools for mounting work

To perform preparatory and finishing work It will be necessary to prepare a specific set of tools.


  • With a set of bits.
  • Perforator or electric drill with perforation function.
  • Drills on wood and concrete of different diameters.
  • Electric or manual jigsaw.
  • Scissors for metal, if a metal profile will be used in the design.
  • A hammer.
  • Building (stationery) knife.
  • Roulette and construction kit.
  • Pencil and marker for marking.
  • Building stapler.
  • Construction level with a vertical and horizontal pointer.
  • To prepare wall surfaces, it is possible that spatulas, construction hairdryer, roller and brush for applying primer are required.

When everything you need for work is ready, you can move to the preparation of the room to the installation process.

Preparation of surfaces of the room to decoration

Preparation of surfaces of the toilet room under the decoration by plastic panels occurs as follows:

  • In order to under the finishing material, in a closed space, a favorable environment was created for the appearance of insects and plates of mold, recommended (if they were) and peeling paint. For cleaning, a metal spatula is used.

If it is necessary to free the walls from wallpaper, and they are securely fixed on the surface, they are recommended to apply warm water with a roller, and it is necessary to do this several times. In those areas where the wallpaper will begin to breed from moisture, you can start their removal.


  • It is completely optional to remove the paint, the main thing is to remove it in those areas where it peelled from the wall surface.
  • Next, the marking of the cleaned walls is made and at the same time the amount and height or length of the cable registers are determined. Here you need to clarify that if the wall panel is planned to be installed vertically, the timber is fixed horizontally at a distance of 600 mm from each other. When horizontal installation Finishing material, guide frame fixed to the wall vertically. Mandatory details of the crates must be installed at the bottom of the wall, 20 ÷ 30 mm from the floor and on the top of the wall along the fastening line under the ceiling trim or on the wall of the wall and the ceiling.

  • If the lamp will be mounted from the wood, the framework of the framework is prepared the next step. They are cut in size, and then treated, and it is necessary to process all surfaces, including end sides, that is, cuts. After applying the composition, they need to be left to complete grazing. This work is best done on the balcony, where there is air access, and the space is somewhat more than the area of \u200b\u200bthe toilet.

  • While wooden framework elements will dry on the balcony, you can engage in antiseptic wall processing and toilet ceiling. Printing is performed using a roller with a porous nozzle or a wide brush. In hard-to-reach places, a narrower tassel may be required.

It absorbs and dries the primer quickly quickly, for several hours, therefore it will be enough time to apply two layers of this composition and wait for their complete burial.

  • The primer can be transparent or opaque. If a thick white composition is selected, then the marking of the walls should be carried out after drying the treated surfaces.
  • If during the repair it is planned to replace the toilet, then the dismantling of old is more expedient to carry out before fixing the crate.

Performing wall cladding with plastic panels

When the platform for further installation is completely ready, and the markup lines will be clearly visible on it, you can first move to the fastening of the crate, and then the finishes itself.

IllustrationBrief description of the operation
The first step of the guides is always fixed on smooth parts of the walls, and only after that vertical and horizontal frames are built around the areas of communications passage, as well as protruding corners.
In the rails (timber), at a distance of 500 ÷ 600 mm from each other, with the help of electric drill and drill on the tree, holes are drilled through which the frame elements will be fixed on the wall.
Holes must have a diameter corresponding to the diameter of the dowel.
Further, the bar with the holes is applied to the line marked on the wall, and through the hole located approximately in the middle of the guide (in length), the drill with a drill on concrete is planned by the place of attachment.
Then the timber is cleaned, and the hole is deepened on the length of the dowel.
After that, the bar is assigned back to the wall and through it into the hole in the wall the dowel with a screw was driven into it.
First, only one fastening is driven into so that the timber can be aligned.
Next, the bar is aligned along the construction level and the remaining attachment points to the wall are scheduled, the corresponding holes are drilled, and dowels are clogged into them.
Similarly, all carrier elements of the craters are recorded in the smooth sections of the wall.
If drowshes are detected during the wall markup on the wall surface, then the crate is aligned with additional linings installed between the bar and the wall.
It is often enough in the layout of old houses in the bathrooms in the top of the wall there is a window for natural lighting.
If it is planned to use this opening as a niche shelf, then it is dismantled by the framework details (platbands), and on the frame wave screws can be attached to the guide framework.
On this illustration, it is well shown how the guides of the crates should be enshrined smooth walls This small room.
Probably not to violate the demonstration of the sequence of work, you should consider briefly dismantling and laying outdoor ceramic tiles.
So, after fixing the elements of the crates from the floor, an old coating is removed. To do this, you can use a perforator with a certain nozzle in the form of bit.
Together with the tile is removed and the solution to which it was laid.
After cleaning from the floor of the construction garbage, the surface must be cleaned as much as possible from different protrusions.
If necessary, the floor alignment is made by self-leveling composition.
The next step is the lamp for a decorative box around the vertically passing sewer riser, as well as passing along the rear wall of the toilet of the sewer pipe.
This framework element can be performed differently.
On the shown illustration, it is made of short segments of timber, connected at right angles, and fixed on direct sections of the walls of the crate.
The frame of the decorative box can be erected from the metal profile.
Vertical racks are installed and rigidly bonded with horizontal jumpers.
The design is displayed in the form of a communication node consisting of a sewer and water riser.
The jumpers are made from the same metal profile, fixed from the inside of the frame.
The frame of the box is mounted and screwed to the bruse fixed on the wall, with the help of self-tapping screws.
This version of a box-made frame, built from a vertical bar, which is bonded with horizontal jumpers and is associated with the crate fixed on the wall, is a more rigid and reliable design.
In addition, the wooden guides will be more comfortable to fix the finishing material.
This option of the box is particularly convenient if the pipes also pass along the side wall, and counters are mounted on hot and cold water.
The horizontal cutture is connected to the wheel on the wall and the vertical box frame with the help of self-tapping screws, and if necessary, for greater rigidity - also with the use of metal corners.
Another option design of a box made of metal profile and a bar.
In this case, the bar is a material that gives the rigidity of the frame, and the metal profile is more plastic than wood.
It can be cut and descripted from it more compact box, slightly cutting angle.
This is particularly relevant when compounds are required at angles other than the direct.
The illustration shows how such an option of a box-made frame without decoration. decorative panels.
This design is well suited for the skin, in which the fitting corner will not be used - the panel will smoothly heat the horizontally installed elements of the metal crate.
Horizontal boxed frame design On the back wall of the room, over the sewer pipe, it is best to do together with the whole cladder.
However, some masters work on their own installation system and prefer to establish it after the main framework is already fixed finishing material.
This frame is made of a wooden bar that must be treated with antiseptic impregnation.
The front vertical side of this frame is a frame to which decorative finish will be fixed.
Another version of the frame, which is made of metal profile. It can be called more acceptable in this case, since the design will be near the pipes and plumbing devices, on which condensation moisture can perform when temperatures drops.
However, it should be remembered that the panels are more convenient to fix on wooden bars, so wooden rails are often screwed on top of the metal.
When the floor area is prepared and is limited by the horizontal and base of the vertical frame, you can move to the surface facing with tiles.
The first step is to fit the central row of tiles - it should be placed strictly in the center of the room, at the same distance from the walls.
At the edges of the laid out tiles using a marker, approximate lines are conducted by which the finishing material will be laid.
Next, according to the markup, the tile is placed on the tile glue.
To comply with the single width of the seams, special plastic calibration crosses are used.
Laying out the tile coating, its surface is constantly monitored construction levelSo that it remains in the horizontal plane.
The illustration shows the finished, lined floor surface with already seerful interputric seams.
The floor is finished - you can move directly to the installation of plastic panels.
Now, before installation, the panels are seen in length and width, by the location of the middle border and its drawing (if any).
It is more difficult to find each other panels with single fragments of the pattern, parts of which are located on different panels and when docking are collected in an entire element.
So that the finish looked neatly and aesthetically, it is necessary to accurately combine the floral or geometric ornament, as well as border lines.
Installation of finishing on the crate can be carried out using fittings corner profiles Or without their use.
The starting guides are required in any case, since without them general form Finishes will look inactively.
Plastic profiles are fixed to crawl bruis with a staple bracket. Fixation is made in 150 ÷ \u200b\u200b200 mm.
Profiles are made only in white color. Therefore, they are not suitable for all colors of finishing material, and therefore some masters prefer in some cases to do without them.
This photo presents an option to dock two panels in the angular part of the room, which are perfectly adjusted to each other without the use of the corners.
If it is decided to abandon the angular profiles, then the first panel, which is installed on the box of the box, is first fixed on "liquid nails", and then screwed up 15 ÷ 20 mm with wide hats.
Installation of panels begins from the corner of the room, and the verticality of the first panel in the row, before its final fixing, is carefully selected by the construction level.
Therefore, at first, the self-tapping screw is screwed into the base of the crate in the middle part of the panel height, and the edge is regulated by level. Well, then the panel is fixed finally to the other elements of the crate.
From the correct installation of the first panel will depend on the evenness and accuracy of the entire wall cladding. If the panels are uneven, then the existing pattern on their surfaces may not coincide.
If one of the walls has a completely smooth surface, and the installation of panels will be made on it without a crate, then their gluing can be carried out on "liquid nails" or on cement-based tile glue.
The "liquid" nails are applied on the wall strips with a thickness of 10 ÷ 15 mm.
If tile glue is used, it is distributed to a gear spatula with a 5 mm ridge height on the entire surface under the panel.
If the whole panel falls on the joints of the regions of the crates, constituting different planes, then it is first joined with a previously fixed panel without fixing, and then measured the scene line.
This process should be made in exactly this way because the outer angle may not be flat.
It happens that after cutting out exactly along the shapelines of the extra part of the panel (without a real fit "at the place", focusing exclusively on the results of linear measurements), its edge in one place may coincide with the angular protrusion, and in the other there is no, so it will be corrupted.
After the cutout of an excess fragment, the panel is fixed to the crate.
The outer angle can be closed with a regular corner, which is glued to "liquid nails".
Another option - it is masked by the so-called molding of an external angle having special grooves.
Glue is applied to their inner surfaces, and then the edges of the stocking panels are put into the grooves.
Pipes located on the side walls are closed with short panel segments.
Often, the Master prefer to close them and the sliding doors, which will be told next.
If water counters are installed on one of the side walls, it is completely impossible to close them, so the wizards resort to two options - this is either a small window with the opening door, or the sliding panels.
The second method is more practical, as it allows you to control the entire space, and when an emergency occurrence, it can be eliminated without disassembled the entire design.
Sliding doors (there may be two or more of them) are made from ordinary panels.
They are installed in the top and bottom of the opening profiles with two or three guide channels (grooves).
The type of profile, understandable, will depend on the number of the door, since its space should be provided for the free walking of each of them.
For the convenience of moving such flaps, ordinary internal plastic door handles are installed in them, which are neatly pasted into the cut hole.
The decorative box, located behind the toilet, along the back wall, also need to be seen with the panels of plastic lining the desired length.
So that the finishing look neatly, the front frame of the front frame is glued, and then the starting molding is fixed using a stapler and bracket.
The next step, the cover is cut from the panel for this box, its fitting is made, the location of the water supply hose exit to the drain Baku is determined, and the hole is cut for it.
Then the "liquid" nails are applied to the bar, and the top panel of the decorative box is glued.
At the same time, the flexible liner (hose) for the drain tank must also be installed, and extended through the cover of the lid.
Next, the necessary fragments for facing the front of the box are cut out of the panels. This part is assembled into a single cloth, trying on the place, and then it is placed on it to exit the sewer pipe nozzle for connecting to the toilet.
After that, a cut in the middle of one or the edges of the two panels is made.
In addition, a window markup is marked, which allows control over the state of pipes passing inside the box.
With the extreme left or right panel, the protruding edge of the lock is cut, so that it is fitted with the main wall decoration.
The next step of the panel is installed in the starting lower bar, are screwed to wooden elements box.
The bog of horizontal and vertical panels is covered with a decorative corner, which is glued to "liquid" nails.
After that, the finished frame with the door is inserted into the hole.
Separately, it is necessary to say about the design of the vertical box with a wide 500 mm panel, since in this case the auxiliary corners will not need, and the design will look elegant.
In order to be visible to the necessary cuts in the panel, which are made on the opposite side, on this illustration, as an example, it is presented with a small segment installed on the rack of the metal frame of the box.
In order for such a finishing option, the exact dimensions are removed from the boxes, that is, their width is measured.
Then these parameters are transferred to the opposite side of the panel.
Marking points will be the middle of the cutting strip.
From the noted points in both directions, 15 mm is measured, that is, the bending distance must be three channels between the edges located inside the panel.
After marking, along the entire length of the panel, the lines are drawn along which cuts are made using a stationery knife.
Only the back side of the panel is cut, and the front remains the whole.
After that, along with the edges, the cut-out strip is completely removed, while on the reverse side of the front panel, 3 ÷ 4 mm of ribs is left.
This work is not very convenient, but it is necessary to make it very carefully, without damaging the facial surface of the panel.
After these cuts are performed, the panel will easily bend along the intended lines.
After securing it on the framework of the box, it will be neat finish without joints and corners.
Moreover, in this embodiment, all corners of the box will be rounded, which will also add elegance in the interior design, especially if high-quality panels are selected.
Another point, which also needs to be clarified.
If near the vertical box shown above will be mounted the shelf, installed on top of the masking pipe of the rear box design, then in order for the neckline to be accurately, an accurate pattern of smooth angular corner is adjusted from paper.
Then the template is stacked on the panel from which the box cover will be cut, outlined, after which the required cutout is made on this line.
Next, it is necessary to briefly consider the installation of the frame and arrange the ceiling cover with decorative panels.
This work can be carried out during the installation of the main wall frame, or after facing the surface of the walls with plastic panels.
The lamp can be fixed directly to the capital ceiling or to the walls in the form of a frame. In the latter case, the timber stripped to the walls will become the basis of the suspended ceiling.
The bar is mounted in the same way as the elements of the crate under the walls of the walls.
It is fixed on the upper line of the decorative wall decoration.
In the room of the toilet, ordinary for urban apartments, such a design may look like presented on this illustration.
Next step by low part Bruus applies glue "Liquid" nails to which the starting profile is glued, in which the casing panels will be installed.
The starting profile is fixed on three walls of the room - on the side and the one with which the installation of panels will begin.
It can be like the posterior wall and the one in which the front door is.
The glued profile is additionally fixed to the brue with a stapler and brackets that are installed at a distance of 150 ÷ \u200b\u200b200 mm from each other.
When the frame for the ceiling is ready, you can proceed to the preparation and installation of the ceiling panels.
First they are placed and cut into the desired size.
The edge of the first panel (mounting spike) is cut to the panel tightly, throughout its thickness, entered the starting profile.
The panel is installed by the ends into the side profiles, and the side with the cropped spike is in the one that is fixed on the rear (or front) wall.
The installed panel is screwed to the brushes of the crate of self-drawing with wide hats.
You need to immediately decide on the location of the embedded lamps, as they are much more convenient to install at a time when the ceiling is not completely closed completely facing.
In order to make holes in the ceiling lining to install point lamps, a drill-feeder is used, having a diameter corresponding to the size of their legs.
For a small room toilet, one or two lamps will be enough. If its area is quite large, then three or four lighting elements are installed.
Before installing the lamps into the slot-cut in the panels, the supply of power cables are connected to them.
Lighting devices are installed in the holes of the plastic finish, and then collected in a single chain.
Connection to the power supply should be made only after the complete completion is complete.
The problem is always setting the last panel in the finish. Each wizard chooses its way of installing it.
In this case, it is proposed to make it in width a few already remaining distances - by 10 ÷ 15 mm.
Then, to the edge, which will be fixed on the frame of the frame, put on the starting profile. Glue "Liquid nails" is applied to the bar.
After that, the last panel is inserted into the groove of the previous element of the facing, and the ends - in the groove of lateral starting profiles.
Well, the molding, which is put on its cropped edge, is glued to the "liquid nails" lane applied to the barcass.
Next, the lamps can connect to the total electrical system of the apartment.
The process of mounting the lighting elements and connecting them to the power supply, if there is no sufficient experience in electrical work, it is best to entrust the experienced specialist.
If a we are talking About the toilet, then several words need to be said about the installation and mounting to the floor toilet.
First of all, this accessory is installed in bulk to back wall Or to the box mounted along it.
In addition, with a preliminary example, you need to trace so that the pipe nozzle is opposite the outlet tube of toilet bowl.
Next, on the tile using the marker, the exact location of the toilet is noted, as well as points for drilling holes to secure it.
The next step, the toilet is temporarily removed to the side, and the holes for its fixation are drilled on the populated marks.
The depth of the holes should be at least 60 ÷ 70 mm, and their diameter - correspond to the size of the dowel, which is complete with the toilet.
Next into the holes in the floor are clogged with plastic dowel-plugs.
Installed in place toilet. Holes in his leg must match the holes in the floor.
Often, at the same stage, it is necessary to immediately dock the outlet of the toilet bowl with the sewer pipe.
Then, the combined holes are installed fastening screws with silicone gaskets, which are separated by metal ceramics. If you do not install pads, then when screwing screws, the leg layer can give a crack.
Throwing the fastening screws can also be impossible, as it will create a voltage in the material, and it can over time to give a crack or even chip.
After tightening the fastener, the hts of the fastening elements are closed with special camouflage covers, which are usually included in the kit, which is applied by the manufacturer to the toilet.
After fixing and connecting the toilet to the tube of sewage, assembling a drain tank and connect to it a flexible eyeliner from the water supply, the gap between the leg and the floor cladding is recommended to be gently fill in the sealant.

Installation of the toilet - the question is not easy

Table above short description The installation of the toilet was given only to demonstrate the final stage of the toilet finish. In fact, everything can be more complicated.

Video: How plastic panels are able to transform the standard toilet room in the apartment

No family in our country and abroad did without such an important event as repairs. In any case, it is inevitable that it is necessary to carry out repair and finishing work, both in the bathroom and in the toilet. And there is no such big scatter in the techniques and materials, such as in the living room or bedroom, but even a small separate toilet can be turned into a stylish and cozy place.

Plastic panels for walls of the bathroom and toilet

Many have heard of wonderful and beautiful PVC panels that can be used for both the walls of a bathroom or bathroom and the ceiling, and some types of such panels can be laid on the floor surface. It all depends on the personal wishes of the person and its material opportunities.

On today's rich building material market, you can find a large range of types of plastic panels, which are able to harmoniously decorate any bathroom and join the concept of almost any design.

Types of material:

  • Plastic wall panels decorated with decorative frieze;
  • Sheet plastic sheets of sheet type;
  • PVC panels, imitating wood;
  • Photo panels;
  • Plastic panels with a pattern, applied laser way;
  • PVC panels with thermal printing.

Photo-panels - decorative panels with photo printing applied to them. Allowed to create design panels for walls with almost any image, whether it is a view of the fantastic world, a magnificent waterfall or the face of the unloved superiors.

It all depends on the wishes of the customer and the ideas of a specialist in design.

Each of these types of panels for the finishing of the toilet or bathroom can be used in the interior of any complexity and theme, whether it is a hint of a Victorian house, or imitation of the style of Provence or Modern.

Preparation option PVC panels: Examples and photos

Despite the fact that many people have already seen how beauty can be done with plastic panels for walls, what the most interesting and exclusive ideas can be realized, they still do not understand why familiar or relatives have given their repairs Preference precisely this type of panels, if there are many other materials, for example, the MDF panel.

The whole secret is the advantages of PVC panels in front of another decorative finishing material for walls:

  1. In the case of finishing the walls of the toilet with plastic panels, the person does not arise such a question as special preparation of the work surface of the walls. Panels can be mounted even on not the smoother surface. This, as practice shows, allows you to save material tools that usually leave for additional work on the leveling of walls. In addition, the panels allow to hide defects and irregularities of the walls.
  2. Light plastic panels can install one person, it is also a big plus, because in the bathroom or, moreover, the toilet, not so much space so that you can turn around to several masters.
  3. PVC panels are an exceptionally environmentally friendly finishing material. For all the time of its service, plastic under any temperature conditions remains safe for people and animals. The trimmed toilet with such wall panels is not subjected to rotting, it does not form mold or fungus even with the highest humidity, which makes the plastic material ideal for use in the bathroom.
  4. Finishing with such slabs gives a guarantee of light cleaning. Any hostess will confirm that this is a big plus when you do not need to think about how to better hold a wet cleaning in a particular room.
  5. Ease of installation allows you to install even a novice master.
  6. Excellent appearance of the material. Any pictures can be depicted on the panels. It looks all this beautiful and effectively.
  7. Large service life. With proper care, plastic panels can serve as many decades.
  8. The covering of the walls of PVC panels is rather cheap due to the availability of prices for the material itself.

All these pluses of plastic panels allow them to become increasingly popular and chassis for use in the interior of the toilet or bathroom. And yet, as practice shows, there can be no one advantages. Wall panels PVC has a minus - they can be rather fragile, and break out if they are having free or throw in the wall with something heavy or sharp.

Application of panels in the toilet: photo and methods of decor

Designer solutions of specialists may imply the use of plastic panels for different surfaces and planes. By themselves panels from plastic, depending on the thickness and maximum load, can be installed on different surfaces.

Namely:

  1. On the walls. Classic application of plastic panels. Here, the choice of the type and quality of the material depends only on the wishes of the person himself, the ideas of the designer or the volume of disposable funds.
  2. On the ceiling. It is often used for a visual increase in space. For example, with the help of panels, you can turn the ceiling into the solar clear sky, or the star night sky. Thus, the ceiling in a large toilet is capable of making a person's brain to perceive the bathroom at a larger scale.
  3. On the floor. Outdoor panels are used not so often, but also quite popular. With the help of panels, you can make from the usual boring toilet floor the bottom of the ocean or cosmic simply, that is, everything that the soul wishes.

In addition, it is worth mentioning that at this stage in the construction and finishing materials market there is an extensive selection of coloring panels for any destination. You can meet red, black, white panels, motley or pictures.

The panels using photo printing are very popular.

For example, this method can allow to recreate in a bathroom or toilet room atmosphere of stay on the paradise island or in the open space or the ocean, where the complete feeling will be created that the owner among exotic fish, especially if the walls, and the floor, and the ceiling will be Made in one style.

Repair in the toilet with plastic panels: photos and examples

When a choice is made at the place of installation of panels, their mind, colors and all the nuances are clarified, the question arises in front of a person "But how does the installation of plastic panels?". There are following options - contact a specialist finishing work, pay him a certain amount and enjoy the work done or do everything yourself. The last option is more economical, besides, if you make repair with your own hands, it will be much more pleasant.

If you decide to carry out an extensive installation yourself, then you must first determine the type and features of the installation work with plastic tiles. If self-adhesive is used pVC tile, then work will not take a lot of time. It will be necessary to remove the protective layer and glue the finishing material to the surface. It is worth understanding that in this case it is better to make a sticking on a flat surface. Installation using glue - the rear surface of the tile is processed by a thin layer of glue. Next is glued on the surface of the wall of the bathroom or toilet. Mounting work With the use of the crate - in this case, it is not required perfectly smooth surface. The plastic or metal crate system is attached to the wall, to which the plastic panels are subsequent. Tile and panels are fastened with glue solutions.

Toilet finishing with plastic panels: design (video)

Someone prefers to make repairs at once in the whole house or apartment at the same time, someone prefers to leisurely gradual repairs, when they are tightly engaged in one room in his home, then another, and gradually the whole house is renovated, but making everything in their ideas, It turns out very beautiful.

Traditionally for interior decoration Bathrooms and toilets applied tile. However, with all its numerous advantages, the tile does not relate to cheap and easy-to-install materials. In case, if the repair of the bathroom is planned to perform with their own hands and with minimal costs, it is worth considering such an option as the toilet finish of PVC panels. Such a finishing material as a panel of polyvinyl chloride becomes indispensable if the repair must be performed as much as possible.

Toilet decoration by plastic panels do it yourself

The main advantages of polyvinyl chloride panels

Positive moments when decorating a bathroom or toilet lamellas from polyvinyl chloride can be expressed as follows:

  • Simple installation. Conduct repairs in the toilet using PVC panels are quite forces of the high school. Plastic panels do not differ in a special weight.
  • Price category. After conducting a comparative analysis, it can be found out that the rates for such a material as a tile exceed the price on the panel at least three times. It is excluding the remuneration of the tiled of the finishing, but put the tile with their own hands beautifully and neatly without prior preparation is quite problematic.
  • The walls of the room do not have to prepare for the finishing of their plastic. The PVC panels are recorded, as a rule, on a frame or a crate, which means that possible defects can be leveled with their help.


PVC panels are fixed on the frame

  • Such material as polyvinyl chloride is absolutely indifferent to the effects of a wet atmosphere. However, it does not have moisture resistance, in other words, plastic panels are not able to withstand the appearance in the toilet of dampness. About the waterproofing should be taken back at the preparatory stage, it is desirable before mounting the crate.
  • Simple operation. In order to care for such a finish and maintain its decent appearance, no expensive import funds will be required. On the contrary, the cleaning of the toilet will not take more than 10 minutes, and for this you need only wet rag.
  • Long service life. An attractive appearance of plastic lamellae peculiar to them is initially difficult to spoil, even deliberately. Polyvinyl chloride is able to withstand the impact of most household chemical preparations and solutions.

Disadvantages of polyvinyl chloride panels

In addition to numerous advantages, characterized by such a finishing material as plastic panels and certain disadvantages. Otherwise, only plastic panels would be presented on the windows of the finishing materials stores.


Plastic panels in the bathroom interior

The main mines of plastic lamellas are considered:

  • Firefiability and formation of combustion products. Unfortunately, any plastic is not able to withstand an open fire. One material in the fire begins to burn, the other melts, but also in that, in different cases, the process will be accompanied by the release of toxic gas.
  • Fasten the panels on the wall - this is quite simple work, but to ensure its efficiency and continuity, it will have to think even when planning repair.
  • The design of the bathroom or toilet plastic will affect the total room. When fixing the panels on the frame, it is possible to narrow the toilet about 5 centimeters, but this is only if the surfaces do not require correction using the crate. If when placing a ceiling is plastic, it does not matter, then when the walls are cleaned, it is necessary to observe maximum care. Otherwise, difficulties are possible with the closure or opening of the room door or with the connection of plumbing and electrical equipment.

It is not by chance that the ceiling plastic finish is much more common than the complete toilet design with PVC panels.


Ceiling plastic finish - spectacular and practical appearance

Often you can find combined solutions when the panels and tiles (or other material) are complemented and follow each other. However, the most often such combinations are found at the design of bathrooms.

What should be considered when choosing PVC panels

When buying plastic panels, some of the homeowners focus on such parameters as the price and beauty. Of course, in some cases, this approach is justified, but at the design of the toilet in the apartment with your own hands, he is fundamentally incorrect. The main characteristics to pay attention to by buying plastic panels should be reliability and durability. This is due to the fact that it is on the wall panels of plastic that various shelves and fittings will be brought. In other words, choosing panels, orient not to their appearance, but on quality and rigidity. The high value of this parameter will provide long-term operation of plastic panels. In addition, the more rigid plastic panel is much more preferable to directly installed. The chance of the appearance of vibration as a result of a random movement is very insignificant. In addition, in the crate, you can increase the distance between its vertical bars.

By choosing a certain type of panels, whose stiffness seemed to you acceptable, appreciate the dimensions and design features of the material. The dimensions of decorative panels made of polyvinyl chloride in length are, as a rule, three meters, but their width can vary from 120 to 250 millimeters. Consider that the width of the products directly affects the requirements for the framework. That is, the wider lamella from PVC, the better there must be a doomer. For those who make up the toilet or bathroom with their own hands, the optimal option is the panels whose width does not exceed 15 centimeters.

Deciding with the parameters that play the main role when installing panels, you can start choosing their design. Before leaving the store or interior of finishing materials, do not forget to make sure sufficient quantity consumables (corners, plastic endings). Such elements should be combined with the main background created by decorative panels.


Wide range of plastic panels

Buying consumables stands with some margin because at the first stages, especially when installing the design of the toilet with your own hands, breakdowns and errors are possible. Naturally, go to the store for the missing pair of corners does not want.

For frame or craters, rails are used by cross section 2 * 2, 5 centimeters. To create a reliable and solid framework, it is worth using square or rectangular rains. It is necessary to estimate the quality of each rail, and for this you will have to unpack the stack of bars cooked for the frame.

It is impossible to build a high-quality crate from improper quality material. The frame is assembled with the help of such necessary elements as a self-tapping screw and mounting nails for fasteners of plastic products. You do not need to use small building nails, they can easily be replaced with analog crowded nails with a small hat. If the toilet is often subjected to "man-made" floods of neighbors, it is better to apply an antiseptic for high-quality wood processing.

Mounting frame with your own hands

Before mounting plastic carcass It is necessary to put the floor tile and install the toilet, as it will require a smooth surface of the floor covering.


Mounting frame with your own hands

Right assembly of the carcass

  • At the first stage, it is necessary to handle the elements of a wooden crate or frame an antiseptic. If you thoroughly lubricate the mounted material with antifungal solution, then such a structure will last no one dozen years. It is worth noting that most of these solutions are toxic, so this procedure is best carried out outside the closed space. The antiseptic is applied to the entire surface of the crate.
  • Deploying side bars. The recommended number of plants for installation coincides with the number of corners in the room, i.e. they should be four. The main rule is that the rails in no case should come into contact with the surface of the ceiling and gender. In this regard, under the rails you can put small pieces of plastic, but after the accurate installation they are removed.


The accuracy of fixing side racks is extremely important for further installation of panels, so when they are fastened with a plumb. Then check the parallelism of all the faces by means of a long line. It is from these four items that will further depend on the quality of the frame. Fasters have step-by-step execution with an accuracy of about 30-40 centimeters and mounted using self-tapping screws.

  • Side shelter. After installing the main vertical rails, it is necessary to secure the bars along the upper and lower circuits of the room. Fixing screws in this case are mounted at an angle of 45 degrees. It is necessary for a more dense fixing of bars. After that, the material needs to be supplemented with the mounting of the walls on the walls using long screws. When the base of the crate has already been collected, it is necessary to install additional racks. The step between these racks is recommended to withstand approximately 50 centimeters from each other. In this case, the frame connection can be considered sufficiently safe and strong.

We work with accessories do it yourself


Plastic accompanying elements are fixed to the main racks and slats. Their angles must be cut under 45 degrees. Since the plastic panel is very elastic, the accessories are attached in all turns and corners. There is a distance of 30-35 centimeters between the nails. In the event that the rail began to lag behind the wall, it is recommended to put a piece of plastic under it, and only after that clog the nail. Installation nails should have flat and wide hats. If there was no such nails to find such nails, it is recommended to use any nails, the length of which is 20-25 centimeters, while you need to cut small gaskets of 1 * 1 centimeter from PET bottles, which will allow attract plastic to the tree without damaging it. Hammer need to work carefully so as not to damage the surface of the panel.

Installing PVC panels on the finished frame

All other plastic elements closely move to the previous one and are attached the same as the first, nails that have a plastic washer. This allows you to save the surface from the hammer impact.

Finishing PVCs are cut down in length. Such work should be carried out with particular accuracy. The cut panel is raised until it stops in the previous lock with a screwdriver. It is worth noting that the values \u200b\u200bof locks are relatively less landing space, and therefore the final panel must have contact with the surface of the previous ones. It must be fixed by nails in the place where the movement is not available.

So, the repair of the toilet room with plastic PVC panels is over. But do not forget to leave on the finished panels small marks for the shelves, which will subsequently be attached to the finished surface.
