The kitchen should be conducive to eating and pleasant evening conversations, so I want this room to be cozy and comfortable. To start expensive and lengthy repairs is not always advisable, and sometimes quite expensive. In this case, plastic panels for wall decoration will come to the rescue, work with which even a layman can master.
Plastic panels have several advantages. They are water resistant, have good sound insulation, do not emit toxic substances into the air, are easy to care for, and are also developed taking into account fire safety requirements. Such panels are not flammable. The disadvantages include the relatively light damage to the panels and the fading of bright colors in the sun.

Plastic trim
Installation can be carried out in a frame or frameless way. The first is acceptable if the wall surface is perfectly smooth, for this it is thoroughly putty and primed. More often they use the second method, so we will consider it in more detail.
The frame is constructed using wooden, plastic or metal battens. Strictly perpendicular to the floor and to each other, the slats are fastened with dowels. Here you need a level. The minimum distance between the slats of the frame is 50cm. At this stage, fittings are installed. Then cut the desired panel size. The first panel begins to be mounted from the corner, for fixing using screws or staples. The quality of fastening of the first panel is paid special attention, since all subsequent panels will be aligned on it, these panels are inserted into the grooves.
With the help of plastic panels, you can make a beautiful apron for the kitchen set, choosing the right style. But you should avoid the area above the hob. Pipes and risers can be hidden, taking care of a special door.
