The use of cladding moisture resistant plates is important for small apartments. Inexpensive and modern. Beautiful and rich.
White bathroom looks beautiful and very spacious
Bathroom decor plastic plates will never be boring. It opens a wide scope for the realization of the most extravagant idea. But not for the classical style, country, Provence, art deco.
For such design decisions appropriate natural materials in combination with tile.
Latte color in the bathroom
Plastic products are great for modern, hi-tech, contemporary, minimalist, thanks to the possibility of a harmonious combination of patterns.
Shades and elements of images in the process of editing can be alternated, which allows to realize any creative idea.
The most popular images are flowers, sea animals and plots, mosaic. Friezes skillfully imitate marble, granite tiles with a smooth or embossed surface, glossy shine or a noble matte texture.
White bathroom with the addition of a headset
PVC cladding with a frieze under the wood texture is able to give the bathroom a new interior.
One of the stylish solutions is a panel with a print around a mirror or a shower area. The rest of the walls are one-color.
In a fashion - a combination of panels with three different patterns. The alternation of different lanes allows you to give the surfaces a unique look and visually "pull" the walls up.
Soft blue colors make the bathroom very delicate
Even a small three-dimensional 3D image on plastic will add some lightness to the space.
PVC materials are perfectly combined with modern decorative materials, so it looks effectively facing the surface around the sink and bath with walls, decorated with moisture-resistant plaster or wallpaper.
Delicate interior in the style of marble
Visually increase the room by using small images on the plastic, located across.
Technical parameters of PVC panels
The basis of products is polyvinyl chloride, which meets modern requirements for environmental friendliness, hygiene and safety.
Black bathroom in white
Each panel consists of two thin sheets of plastic, connected by longitudinal ribs.
They form cells in the form of cells, so under them after installation an air layer is created. This structure provides thermal and sound insulation.
The advantage of this material in aesthetics, strength and durability
Plastic does not absorb moisture, so it is not subject to deformation. In the process of installation, sheets of decorative plastic are firmly bonded, thanks to the protrusions on the edges.
This is a guarantee of one hundred percent waterproofing, lightweight panels eliminates the additional load on the base of the walls and ceiling.
PVC products are not deformed by high temperature. Images do not fade, are not erased.
Broad bands look very interesting.
Pollution is easily removed from the plastic surface. High-quality installation and regular maintenance contribute to the operation of up to 10 years and more.
Shape and size
Manufacturers usually produce PVC fragments 2.5–4 m long, 5–10 mm thick.
White color makes the room more spacious.
Depending on the design idea on the market, you can buy PVC in the form of:
- standard sheets with a width of 10-37 cm, mainly with a tile imitation frieze;
Gray plastic for the bathroom look strictly and concisely
- the laths representing narrow long strips 10 cm wide with monophonic registration;
- seamless sheets up to 2 m wide, as a rule, with a ready-made design solution on the front side.
Big allow to reduce installation time. However, it should be remembered that in a small bathroom, plain wall cladding without seams can create the impression of a box.
Beautiful white surfaces blend in with wood
Rack plastic are mounted longer, but allow to correct space.
Disadvantages of plastic panels:
- low level of resistance to mechanical damage;
- reduction of useful space of the room due to installation;
- the difficulty of installing additional wall shelves, cabinets that require slats;
- the need to accurately calculate the dock frieze and drawings.
But these disadvantages successfully replace the pros. In addition, manufacturers continue to work on improving the characteristics of products, create new ways of installation. Some versions of the panels can already be glued or installed with clips.
return to menu ↑Criterias of choice
A number of product specifications are possible upon careful consideration:
Wall paneling in the bathroom
- the surface of each surface must be flat;
- dimensions must exactly match the information on the label;
- in the composition should not be more than 43% ethylene, 57% - associated chlorine;
- the more stiffening ribs, the durability of the panel is higher;
- the tone of the color should be smooth and the image clear.

High surface relief makes cleaning difficult. In the projections will accumulate dirt, water, which leads to the formation of mold fungi. The same problem occurs when poor-quality installation.
return to menu ↑How much to buy
The accuracy of the calculation - the key to saving the budget. Calculate the surface area is not enough, because the corners and transitions will not allow to do without waste.
Their volume increases when choosing lamellae with asymmetrical patterns. To use segments with such decor in other places of the bathroom is impossible.
Variety with narrow stripes
Therefore, for standard plates, you should buy 10-15% more from the area of the finished surfaces. With complex drawings, the number of panels is best calculated by the piece.
Screws, screws, klyammery better buy bundles, because it is impossible to calculate their exact number. With slats and profiles is easier, because they divide the surface into squares, but it is preferable to purchase with a stock.
This material currently has great potential.
Installation is possible for everyone
Plastic lining done with their own hands, even without special skills. This is a way to quickly and profitably decorate the room without outside help.
Mounting does not require plaster leveling. Practiced frame and adhesive method of lining.
Beautiful plastic lining in the bathroom

- a drill;
- screwdriver;
- screws and dowels;
- hacksaw;
- a pencil;
- a triangle;
- tape measure;
- bath plinth;
- plastic moldings;
- sealant.
Easy to install by yourself without asking for help from specialists.
Two types of cutting
- During cutting along the lamella, a long, flat rail fits snugly to the contour of the marking and is incised with the aid of a mounting knife, “grinder” or hacksaw, one side along the entire length. Then turns over and bends at the cut point. Fully cut by bend.
- With the transverse method, the jumpers located between the planes are first incised in turn. The final incision is also made along the fold.

The sequence of the stages of wall cladding
The beginning of work is the removal from the premises of all disturbing things so that there is free access to surfaces.
- Measure the height of the walls.
- Trimming metal profiles to the desired height.
Cool and very stylish bathroom interior
- Installation of vertical profiles at a distance of 50 cm from each other, starting from the left side.
- Screw fasteners at a distance of 40 cm on the same level, starting from the bottom.
- Between the wall and the ceiling, the wall and the floor there are gaps of 3-3.5 mm.
Delicate and very soft bathroom interior
The result is a solid frame - the foundation. Then the cells are filled with foam.
After it is laid, the wiring of the lighting will be done - sockets, places for lamps. The last stage is the fastening of plastic panels to the profile with a tight connection of fragments, gluing the baseboards on top and bottom.
For mounting panels used screws, screws or nails. The panels can be fixed with the help of klyimer, "fasten" elements to the crate. They allow you to speed up the installation, but more expensive.
In small rooms, the use of a frame for decoration "eats" precious centimeters of area. But this is not a reason for rejecting such a plastic decoration option.They can be glued.
A relaxed bathroom interior reminiscent of Chinese style
Just in this case it will be problematic to replace the damaged item. It will not be possible to install the built-in lamps, to warm the room.
A bathroom with limited space creates warm and special comfort.
Secrets of frameless plating
Prior to frameless PVC installation, it is necessary to level and prime the wall surface. For fixing, use liquid nails, taking into account the flow rate of 1-2 standard cartridges of 5-6 square meters. m or.
In a small bathroom the interior in light colors visually expands your space.
The adhesive composition is applied to the slab dotted with a distance of 5-10 cm from the edge. The points are staggered.
Installation is carried out from a corner clockwise. It is applied to the surface with little effort, because the panels "are afraid" of large mechanical effects.
The advantage of plastic in elegance, reliability and durability
Almost immediately, the decorative sheet is detached from the wall surface to allow the glue to dry. After 5-10 minutes, the panel is finally installed in place. Top and bottom edges are additionally secured with dowels.
Classic with old style looks ambiguous
The nuances of finishing the ceiling panels
For the ceiling plating used decorative plates with a width of 20-25 cm with a glossy surface. Without a frame can not do.
It is installed on the marks on the surface of the walls. Make them easy using the water level. On one wall put the starting point, and then - in the corners. Markers are connected to the assembly lines.
Light gray bathroom looks beautiful and very loose
The framework of the ceiling is made with slats of spruce or pine with dimensions of 20x40 mm or 20x50 mm. For fastening the rails, U-shaped suspensions are used, which are positioned 40-50 cm later. The frame for the lamps is additionally strengthened.
Installation begins with fastening to the baseboard frame. Then decorative lamellae are inserted under the baseboard on one side, and then on the other, and attached to the crate with screws.
Easy to install yourself without asking for help from the masters
During installation, the electrical wires are brought out. The installation is completed with the treatment of joints with silicone sealant.

Little bath
All the secrets of a small space
I didn’t have the panels at all. Alas, the article does not fully reveal the negative experience. I want to focus on the part of the article about “easily removed” and “to hide communications”. Mom finished them bathroom. After that, the bathroom had a persistent unpleasant smell of sewage. Many different plumbers came and watched. Removed and put back. The situation does not change. With tiles this was not. We have a little earlier trimmed such plates toilet. Removed after 5 years. Not only that they (as correctly noted in the article) hide quite a lot of space (10 centimeters from each wall), which is very critical in the premises of Soviet apartments. And it looks very cheap and unpresentable. Although we and my mother bought expensive plates.
I'm behind the tile in the bathroom.
Although, of course, such tiles are much more profitable and less hassle with them, which, again, correctly reflected the author of the article. Personally, I was once tempted by the opportunity to easily change them to others and completely change the interior when they want.
The article turned out to be very useful for me, as I am now going to make repairs in the apartment that was left from my grandmother. I'm thinking, I can really try to put plastic panels in the bathroom, but somehow I’m a little afraid that under the influence of moisture, they will still start to come to a bad state. I just have plastic panels on the balcony, too, then for two years from moisture, it seems, they make you want something better. So there are doubts about the bathroom. The bath is not a balcony, you have to take it seriously. Still, it’s interesting in terms of money, which is cheaper tiles or panels? And I would argue that plastic panels are environmentally friendly and safe for health. It seems to me that plastic in general is generally harmful. But in principle, the idea in the article is quite good, but it seems to me that it needs to be improved.
Before the start of repairs in the bathroom, whitewashing and tile were considered, but we stopped the choice on the finishing with plastic panels. One of the big advantages was that it would be easy to install and God forbid to make out. The variant of the tile departed immediately, it is to align the walls, plus I wanted it to look beautiful, but for this you need to lay the tile exactly. And from past experience, we knew that it was insanely difficult. We chose a vertical location, since they write in a horizontal position that moisture might get into it. The design was chosen in the form of laths with one tone. Having ripped off the old tile, we didn’t particularly plastered the walls, treated it with a primer and that’s all. The assembly did not take much time, of course it is harder to make holes for the lamp and the socket. After installation, I realized what a beauty and what the right choice.All wiring is removed, the walls are flat, and the cleaning is just a fairy tale. Every woman will appreciate. The pipes did not begin to be sewn under zero, since we did not want to disassemble the repairs and we made the door in the same style, it looks very cool and the pipes are always available. I do not see cons in this decoration some great pluses.
Excellent selection of photos. I loved it. However, not everything is as rosy as described in the article on the advantages of panels. As a temporary option, with a limited budget, I agree, perfect. And the fact that the panels are not inferior to tile, do not agree. Beautiful, yes. Diverse, yes. I fully confirm that they are not deformed by moisture. We had an idea about the design of the bathroom panels, especially on the market of building materials for a long time already such a variety that the eyes inflame, the imagination is played out. Made only the ceiling of the plastic panels. They took glossy, with a slightly pinkish tinge. Installed by experts, made spotlights - beauty! And I want to add about the advantages of this beauty. Not knowing the neighbors we stopped by, not very adequate pensioners lived on top, which is above us, which is a floor above. What was our "joy" when they regularly began to heat us, and sometimes fill us with water. Useless scandals led to nothing. But the panels coped with this "sputum" perfectly. Not swollen, not deformed in 6 years!
For the first time I saw plastic panels at my mother-in-law in the bathroom, I confess I really liked her new renovation. She lives in the north and has two stoves in her house, one of which is in contact with the bathroom wall. Almost all the walls in the bathroom are sheathed with plastic panels, except for one that borders on the stove, she tiled this wall. The article says that the plastic panels are in no way inferior to tile, with this statement, I strongly disagree. Once I was brushing my teeth and throwing toothpaste on the sink, it crashed into plastic and made a hole in it that you can’t touch, the appearance was spoiled. Recently, the mother-in-law called and said that the plastic had lost its normal appearance, and also there were a lot of water and soap stains on it, which are impossible to scrub. Of course, these panels also have advantages, for example, they are easy to assemble and dismantle (the mother-in-law just put them on liquid nails), there is a big choice in stores, they are not afraid of temperature drops, and they are also fire resistant.
Despite all their advantages, I still recommend overpaying a little and putting the tile in the bathroom, this is a better option, it is easy to clean, it is impossible to break or punch a hole in it, and it looks better on the outside. The mother-in-law is going to make a new repair and completely replace the plastic with a tile.
