Panel ceiling - an inexpensive way to bring the ceiling in order

One of the economical ways to finish the ceiling of any room is the ceiling panels. The most popular type for today are plastic panels made of PVC. They are presented in building stores in a wide range, allowing any client to choose the right option. PVC panels are light enough, easy to install, they look very aesthetic, and will cost quite inexpensive for the average resident.

Features of PVC plastic panels

Plastic ceiling panels are not difficult to install, they do not require special construction skills and skills. With a careful approach and neatness with the planking of the ceiling, you can handle one. However, before buying a material, special attention should be paid to its quality, since it determines the reliability and long-termity of the entire panel structure of the ceiling. Low-quality materials will appear even at the time of installation of panels. When choosing a material, you should carefully consider its surface: it should be smooth, without flaws, and the pattern must be printed very clearly, without blurred edges.

Types of panels

There are two types of panels: wall and ceiling. The wall is heavier and denser. The ceiling panel, on the contrary, is very light, but also more fragile. It should be handled with great care and care, since the slightest pressure with a hand or a construction tool can make a dent and spoil the surface of the product. That is why, starting the installation work with PVC panels, you should show due care.

Ceiling panel: Views

Plastic panels come in a variety of types. There are many options for width, color, texture, and size. There are panels that resemble different types of wood, marble slabs, as well as a number of other popular finishing materials. The ceiling panel can be glossy, and also have a shiny (due to a specialized varnish) or a matte finish.

Operational properties

The most important advantage of PVC panels is their resistance to moisture and ease of care. Due to this, they are actively used for bathrooms, toilets, corridors and kitchen facilities. Many prefer to use the ceiling panels for balconies and verandas. There are also elite types of panels designed for living rooms, bedrooms and other living rooms.

The ceiling, lined with plastic PVC panels, can hide any flaws or surface defects. Under such a design it is quite easy to conduct engineering communications (pipes, wires, electric wiring). In the panel, it is very easy to install lighting elements (for example, small lamps). Panels can create a view of the set (for example, individual wooden boards) or a monolithic smooth surface.

Calculation of the required number of panels

To begin with, determine the total surface area of the ceiling of the room (the length is multiplied by the width). The resulting number should first be divided into the area of the panel. The manufacturers and specialists in the field of installation received for the second time are advised to multiply by a factor of 1.15-1.19. This additional material is most often spent on the edges of the panels.

To calculate the number of additional mounting elements (for example, a profile), you will have to draw a layout of the room taking into account the scale of all parameters and draw several parallel along either side of the ceiling. Such lines just become the markup for setting the profile. The most correct is to place the profiles at a distance of 0.5-0.6 m. That is, you need to calculate the required number of lines of the mounting profile, draw them every fifty or sixty centimeters. The ceiling panel will be supported by the mounting profile and harder to stand. On the perimeter of the ceiling, a profile of hard materials should be used, and for softer materials, a softer profile material should be used.

Additional accessories for the installation of panels

To install the panels in addition to the mounting profile, a number of other materials will also be required. For example, to fix the mounting profile, it will take several dozen special screws with large hats. It is necessary to install one screwdriver for every half meter of the plastic panel. After finishing the plating of the ceiling, many prefer to give it aesthetic appearance with the help of a matching on the color of the plinth. In order to calculate the required amount of plinth, calculate the perimeter of the ceiling and, in accordance with the values obtained, purchase the corresponding product.

Ceiling panels with accessories necessary for installation, can be purchased in specialized construction stores.
