Finishing the toilet with your own hands

As the long construction experience shows, the renovation of the apartment begins with a process such as finishing the bathroom and toilet. If you have plans to carry out such work, pay attention to the use of PVC-type material. In this article, we'll look at how the toilet is finished with plastic panels. The main advantage of them is that they allow you to disassemble part of the wall, if necessary.

When starting the repair, you need to think over the design of the room first. And although it is relatively small, it should always look dignified. In order to avoid making mistakes, it is necessary to plan in advance the location of the shelves, the color of the finish and so on. It is recommended to give preference to plastic panels, the thickness of which is not less than 8 mm, otherwise in the future, the appearance of cracks.

When performing such repair process as finishing the toilet, we will need:

1. panels of plastic type, the number of which is calculated by adding to the general perimeter of the room 10-15%;
2. starting strip, the amount of which depends on the perimeter of the ceiling. This material is also needed to bypass the inspection window, doors and a sewer well that passes through all floors. It should be remembered that the water supply system must be open or easily accessible;
3. Metal profile of UD and CD;
4. Press washers 3,9х16;
5. dowels-nails of the type "fast installation" 6x40;
6. white silicone adhesive;
6. plates for connecting the profile to the walls;
7. the punch;
8. Bulgarian;
9. Cutter;
10. level;
11. The hammer.

So, how does the toilet finish with plastic panels? To begin with, it is necessary to build a frame from the metal profile for fastening. It is recommended to start from the top. With the help of the water level, the line of the future ceiling is repulsed: approximately 10 cm will be enough. Along the perimeter of this line, the UD profile is fastened with dowels-nails, to which the CD-type profile is then joined by press washers. The bands of the CD profile are fixed on the technology at a distance of about seventy centimeters. Subsequently, a plastic panel will be attached directly to it.

The finishing of the toilet itself starts with a set of panels. The starting strip is attached to the UD profile using a press washer, into which plastic will be inserted. It should be borne in mind that such panels are a rather fragile material. Just like the ceiling, the walls of the toilet room are tiled. With observance of all levels, a metal frame is recruited . It is recommended to use the same partition profile to increase the stiffness between the vertical strips of this profile. With the help of the bulgaria grooves are selected. Similarly, the set starts with the cut side, and the inner corner is used to join the corners.

In order to bypass the sewer, the joint of the panels is made by the outer corner. With the help of dowels-nails, the lower skirting board is targeted, and the upper one is put on a silicone glue of white color. Also they need to miss all the seams. This is done to prevent moisture from entering.

As can be seen from this article, the question of how the toilet is finished with our own hands is completely solved. You just need to want this and make some effort, following the rules.
