Laminate on the wall how to fix

Laminate is a popular flooring. But, as you know, it is through the inappropriate use of this finishing material that you can make a highlight to the interior of the dwelling. Fans of original style solutions and bold ideas are useful to familiarize themselves with the procedure for fastening laminated panels on the wall.

Using laminate for walls

Laminated coating is successfully used for the design of walls and their sites in the hallways, living rooms and bedrooms. As a cover for walls, popularity is popular by virtue of their advantages:

1. The material is durable, so this surface will serve you not one decade.
2. When choosing a laminate for cladding walls, you can recreate a truly exclusive interior design to which all your friends will envy, thanks to the manifold of textures, for example, imitation of stone or wood, color scheme of material.
3. There is no need to buy high strength laminate, resistant to abrasion, since the walls are not exposed to large loads. It is quite useful even inexpensive laminated class 21-31 coating: if it is designed for use on the floor, then when installing on the walls, it will naturally show itself from the best side, and you can significantly save.
4. When finishing the laminate, the wall portion can be focused on a specific interior object.
5. Even newcomer will cope with such work.

However, remember that the laminate is susceptible to moisture, under its effects, the plank swell, and the outer layer cracks. For trimming a bathroom, balcony, Chulana or basement, it will not be suitable due to the unsuitable microclimate installed in these rooms, and in the kitchen should be used with caution, as it is sensitive to temperature drops.

Laminate selection

Before decoration of the walls, it is necessary to carefully approach the choice of laminated coating:

• Glue. For fasteners, liquid nails or silicone are used, an obligatory requirement is a smooth surface. Not suitable for laying on a previously created frame - the contact area is small. Such material is placed on the floor.
• Plumbing. There are a tongue lock on the planks, thanks to which the planks can be laid dry, like lining, and secure small nails to the crate. In addition, it is possible to install an adhesive with a glue composition without a punching. Lanitimized planks of this type are suitable not only for the floor, but also for mounting on the walls, and even on the ceiling surface.
• Clear. Material is an improvement of a tongue coating. Fasteners are carried out by docking the ridge and the groove at which the lock should be snapped. Carnations are used as additional strengthening. But the plumbers for click-laminate are not suitable, since in this case there will be no snaps of the castle.

Important! If you plan to lay slaughte horizontally, remember that the stress on fasteners will increase many times. That is why the material must be high quality, with reliable locks. When installing in the vertical direction, you can use different types of laminate.

Preparatory work

To install laminated slats, you will need such a tool as when laying the coating on the floor, namely the hammer, the rule, spacer wedges, as well as the adhesive composition, nails and decorative corners. Before finishing the walls, bring the material to the room so that it adapts to the installed microclimate.
Mandatory condition is the perfectly flat surface of the wall. To check, use a flat rail, the length of which reaches the height of the wall, without taking into account the plinth. Before such manipulations, except plinning, remove the platbands. In the presence of projections, they need to be knocked down to the chisel so that the place arose in the place. Then all irregularities are filled with starting putty, after which the surface must be lost.
If you want to create a complex pattern from laminate planks on the wall, then it is recommended to put it on the floor and analyze the size of the size with the wall dimensions.

Options for mounting planks

The laminated coating is mounted on the walls with glue or by fixing to the crate:

1. In the event of creation of the crate, you can additionally insulate the wall, and the strength of the finish increases. Wooden rails are used for the framework of the frame, the sheets of plywood or OSP slabs are attached to the crate, excluding the wave differences. Maximum difference of 2 millimeters is allowed in terms of 1 traffic point meter. But when installing the laminate, the laminate will not succeed in achieving the original design.
2. The possibilities of finishing increase when using laminated glue planks. Liquid nails are used, PVA or Silicone glue. When using PVA glue to lay it and on the panel, and on the walls. Cover the surfaces completely to create a solid layer. Choosing liquid nails, drip the composition of the point - either on the wall or on the laminate.

Horizontal laying of laminate

The laminated coating procedure on the wall is as follows:

• Since the laminate has a swelling property, then when installing should be retracted from 1.5-2 cm angles, these gaps are later close to decorative plinth. For this purpose, spacer wedges are commonly used, but when finishing the walls it is not easy to do, so you can easily make yourself a task and put a smooth board around the perimeter. Using glue, protect this rail with a polyethylene film. But on the side to install the wedges will turn out, because they do not load the weight of the trim.
• Work on the horizontal laying of the planks is customary from the far corner located on the left side, heading further clockwise. Installation of solid bands only seems simpler, and in fact certain difficulties arise. One-piece panels to keep them with the help of locks in one direction, so require reinforcements, otherwise the facing will turn out unreliable and over time will be harmonic.
• To achieve good strength and evenly distribute the load on fasteners, the dice is recommended to lay the "comb". To do this, we follow half-ups to cut half of one-piece planks. That is, if you plan to do in a height of 10 rows, cutting in half the 5 lanes. Rows create in a checker order: the first row is a one-piece strip, the second - halves, etc.
• By gluing one film, you need to fix it in this position to prevent its movement. To do this, through the inside of the castle, which is located on the bar, you need to score a small carnation. For attaching one bar, as a rule, 2 carnations are used. After creating several rows of panels, they hold perfectly, and the use of additional fasteners disappears.

Vertical Laying Laminate

Installation of laminate vertical allows you to implement any idea. In this case, glue is used. Work associated with alignment of walls is compensated by lowering the cost of creating a frame. If the height of the walls is greater than 3 m, then we take the long main planks of the laminate and pieces of this size like the wall residue. Horizontal joints decorating the plinth. To close the vertical seams through certain intervals, for example, through 3-4 joints, we use the same plinth.

The junction that was formed in the corner of the wall must be closed with a decorative plank, fixing it on liquid nails. The bar is installed in the outer and internal angles. To overlap the joint with the ceiling, the ceiling plinth is used, with floor - outdoor.
