What is this material?
Wall plastic panels are a material that is a chemical compound of hydrogen, carbon and chlorine, consisting of 43% ethylene and 57% bound chlorine. As a stabilizer, bound lead is used, which in the chemical compound is biologically inactive, and therefore not harmful to human health. When burning, chlorine and lead are also not released, and PVC panels are very poorly lit and combustion is not supported.
Important! Choose the panels very carefully, because poor-quality material can be very flammable and release harmful substances.
Wall panels made of plastic are used not only for the kitchen, but they can also be used in rooms without heating: cottage, garage, balcony. Inside, they are actively used for kitchens, bathrooms, toilets, corridors. This is due to the stability and strength of the material, as well as the ease of care for it. Design panel of panels will allow you to choose the most optimal option to emphasize the overall design of the kitchen.

This allows you to easily dock the panels with each other, and on the wall they look much better. Small irregularities along the length are permissible, since when fastening to the crate, the panel is leveled;

Panel mounting in-house
Finishing the kitchen with PVC panels is a simple process, and you can do it yourself. If the walls are level, then the panels can be installed using liquid nails. If the walls are uneven, then it is necessary to make the installation of a wooden crate. It will enable you to hide all the wiring and pipes, and also make the appearance more aesthetic. This type of repair, if desired, can be done quickly and without much dirt.
So, the tape measure marks the places of fixing the horizontal bars. The ideal distance for them is 50 centimeters. Further, the straps are attached to the wall using self-tapping screws: a hole is made in the wall( with a drill or a perforator), the beam is screwed. The distance between the fastening points should be no more than 25 centimeters. In the corners, to the height of the whole wall, a vertical bar is fixed.
This is done in the same way as fixing the horizontal bars. After that, the panels are fixed on the crate with the help of small nails or a construction stapler. The installation begins with the inner corner, in which the first panel starts. Then the next one is fixed, and so on to the opposite corner, until all the walls are ready.
