When decorating a building inside and out, natural wood, stone or brick are often used. Previously, natural materials were considered indispensable due to environmental safety and original appearance. However, they require experience in construction applications and are quite expensive. Such heavy structures are not always convenient in the design of modern interiors. With the help of modern technologies, they learned how to create decorative panels that imitate brickwork. Imitation is difficult to distinguish from ordinary brick, but in practice, brick-like wall panels turned out to be a reliable facing material.
Profile building panels for rooms
For interior wall decoration
Wall panels are the leader among finishing materials imitating brick. They are resistant to temperature changes and sunlight, are not afraid of moisture, do not burn or rust, while possessing elasticity and strength. Some prefer to combine brick elements with.
You can see how plastic wall panels look in Leroy Merlin in this article.
Panels stylized as brickwork are used in different buildings:
- in bathrooms, loggias and corridors of private apartments and houses,
- for the design of arches, columns, bar counters, theatrical scenery and halls in shops, hotels and conference rooms.
How to install moisture-resistant bathroom wall panels and how they look can be seen and read in the article.
MDF panels made from pressed wood shavings. When exposed to high temperature under pressure, ligin is released from the wood, which has binding properties and gives the material special strength. The front side of each panel is covered with acrylic paints. Such products, which have the best qualities of the latest building materials, are difficult to distinguish from natural ones. With a print, this effect will not be given.
Imitation of brick wall panels
Varieties of brick panels for cladding exterior walls are:
- sheets 120 - 240 cm long and 3 - 6 mm thick, which are mounted with a minimum number of joints, reliably protecting the outer frame of the house,
- square stacking plates with a side of 0.98 m, with which it is convenient to highlight a part of the wall or lay out a design drawing
- slatted panels 12.5 - 30 cm wide, up to 400 cm long and 0.8 to 1.2 cm thick for convenient sheathing of the basement of the building.
Facade panels imitated for brickwork have undeniable advantages:
- low weight allows them to be used for finishing "light" foundations,
- dry installation is possible even at sub-zero temperatures,
- choice from a wide range of colors,
- panels consisting of several layers do not require thermal insulation.

Vinyl, cement and basement siding panels imitating brickwork will reliably protect the house from external influences. For the strength of the plinth panels, a polymer fiber-cement mixture is used.
High-strength facing clinker tiles from refractory slates are made by firing at about 1300 degrees for 36 hours. It has excellent technical performance:
- high density - up to 2300 kg per cubic meter,
- low thermal conductivity
- minimal water absorption due to the structural features of the crystal lattice,
- light weight with minimum load on the foundation,
- resistance to external influences is higher than that of brick,
- frost resistance (from 150 cycles),
- over time, the unique material becomes even stronger,
- surface texture is embossed, smooth and rustic.
How brick sheet panels look like can be seen in this
Brick-like tiles reinforce walls like a monolith, with the advantages of natural stone and ceramics. It is possible to quickly and easily restore the facade with tiles, replacing damaged elements, since high-quality clinker does not change color under sunlight for a long time.
Manufacturers and cost
On the market, you can choose products for wall cladding of various sizes and painted for every taste and imagination. The choice of manufacturer is not particularly important, since identical technologies are used in the production of wall panels. The difference in prices for samples of the same type depends only on the thickness and design of the front surface.
Russian manufacturers produce brick-like panels with an area of about 3 square meters and a thickness of 4 mm. The unit cost is approximately 800 rubles, depending on the region of sale. 
In the USA, panels of the same area are made, but 2 mm thicker. One American-made panel can cost more than 2 thousand rubles. In the construction market, you can often see square cladding panels made in Malaysia. The cost per square meter is approximately 400 rubles.
So, each of the brick wall panels has its own advantages and disadvantages. When choosing a finish, evaluate the operating conditions and choose the right texture and color of the panels. Then the design you have created will be distinguished not only by originality, but also by reliability, meeting all technical and aesthetic requirements.
The modern market is filled with a large number of decorative interior decoration. Facing panels made of different materials and imitating brick laying are especially popular.
Types, features and characteristics
All panels differ in the material of manufacture and method of operation. There are differences in the installation method. The most popular boards are made of MDF and PVC, interior decoration is carried out only using wooden types. PVC options are versatile and suitable for exterior walls. For cladding inside, MDF with an environmentally friendly base is most often preferred. It has a high density, the price is lower compared to PVC. Polyvinyl chloride decorative strips are more difficult to manufacture, but they perfectly imitate brickwork. There are also options with a mosaic surface and natural stone.
Facing panels are also made of other materials:
- Plywood.
- Hardboard.
Their scope of use is limited, since the humidity of the air and other features of the room must be taken into account.
Brick-like PVC panels are less durable than MDF, but they are easier to install. This material is relatively fragile, therefore, if carelessly used, it is easily damaged. Facing perfectly copes with temperature changes, it is recommended for installation on walls in the bathroom and on the facade of the house. Decorative products made of MDF are capricious and sensitive to minor differences.
There are differences in the specifics of installation:
- Rack. These are oblong-shaped boards with different widths. On both sides there is a groove for docking with the next plate.
- Type-setting wall. They have a rectangular shape. If there is a drawing, it is much easier to select it.
- Leaf decorative. From a technological point of view, the best.
Planks also differ in the specifics of their surface. There are options with imitation of modern brick, but flat. You can also buy relief types that perfectly repeat the old masonry.
Before buying, be sure to study the recommendations of the manufacturer. Some varieties involve only adhesive mounting or rack.
Specifications:
- At temperatures from -50 to +50°С, they retain their operational external indicators. Some panels are allowed to be used in conditions up to +115°С.
- The upper part has a decorative pattern. It is applied by printing: offset, thermal printing, lamination.
- The drawing is protected by a protective varnish, the coating is matte or glossy.
- The top layer is resistant to the negative effects of ultraviolet rays, ash, scratches, chemicals and other aggressive substances.
- According to the standard, the length is 3000 mm, they are found with large dimensions.
- Width - from 250 to 500 mm.
- Thickness - up to 12 mm.
Pros and cons of such panels
Interior decoration made of panels made of MDF, PVC and other materials has a number of positive and negative sides.
Advantages:
1. Long service life. If the technology is followed, then the decorative wall panel will last up to 15 years. Throughout this period, it retains its original appearance.
2. Ideal for processing fireplaces, piers, columns, walls, podiums and other elements of the room.
3. A great opportunity to hide bumps and other flat defects. When mounted on a frame, all errors are hidden. This technology eliminates the need to apply a leveling plaster layer vertically.
4. The minimum weight of the cladding eliminates the load on the supporting structures. Due to this, installation on plasterboard partitions is allowed. Plastic panels are relatively thin, so they can be cut with a stationery sharp knife.
5. Relatively simple installation that does not require significant knowledge and special equipment. If necessary, they can be disassembled.
6. Easy maintenance. Interior finishes are easy to keep clean. Decorative brick-like panels made of plastic cope with negative external influences: fungus, mold, high humidity. Any dirt and dust is simply removed from the wall by wet cleaning.
7. Wide choice of textures, colors and designs.
8. Ideally combined with other materials and technologies. Due to this, the room can bring some zest.
9. High practicability allows you to use the panels on the inside of bars, cafes, restaurants, shops, offices, hotels.
10. No need to paint.
11. After a while, it does not turn yellow and does not change its technical characteristics.
12. Under the influence of ultraviolet radiation does not emit toxic substances. Belongs to the category of environmentally friendly materials.
13. High resistance to moisture. Ideal for rooms with high levels of humidity.
14. Does not burn in direct contact with fire. Due to the high density, the plastic melts.
Cons of wall panels imitating brick laying:
- With inaccurate operation, it is easy to deform under the influence of mechanical load or unevenness of the base base.
- The likelihood of scratches.
- In the void between the wall and the cladding, rodents can start up, dust can accumulate, and so on.
Installation nuances
There are two ways to attach the cladding:
- For glue.
- On the crate.
The first is correct only when using a plastic finish. The whole process consists of several successive stages. First of all, the surface is qualitatively prepared and cleaned, it should be carefully leveled. After that, the wall is primed to remove dust from it and increase the quality of adhesion.
You can start the gluing process after the leveling and primer layers have dried. For work you will need to prepare:
- Sharp utility knife.
- Jigsaw.
- Adhesive mixture or liquid nails.
- Level.
Installation starts from the corner. Each panel must match the next in the drawing. If liquid nails are used, then the glue is applied to the finish in dots or lines (zigzag). After that, the lining is gently pressed against the wall.
Another way simplifies the preparatory work, for this a crate is installed. Engineering communications can pass under it. If electrical wires are laid, they must be in a protective sleeve. The void between the racks of the frame is filled with heat-insulating or sound-proofing material, mineral wool is suitable. After that, the panels are fixed. It is important to follow the pattern so that a beautiful brickwork is formed.
Before glue, this technology has its advantages:
- No need to prepare the surface, the frame will hide all the bumps.
- It is easy to achieve perfectly smooth walls.
- Simple and fast installation.
If you hurry, the crate will turn out to be a curve, and after installing the panels, these irregularities will be emphasized. The useful area of the room is reduced by the width of the frame. In some cases, it is incorrect to carry out such internal work due to the lack of square centimeters. You can use special clamps or other fixatives.
Price

Unplastered brickwork looks good in the interior of apartments and houses. It is used in the design of rooms in the style of hi-tech, loft, fusion, pop art and a number of others. If the walls are laid out poorly or even from other materials, then brick-like wall panels are used, or its decorative variants. The last alternative will take a lot of time and part of the living space. The created coating also has a large weight. Imitating the material panels for interior decoration are devoid of the listed disadvantages and have a number of advantages. The formed coating looks aesthetically pleasing, as close as possible to the real type of masonry. The stylish design of the brick room is shown in the photo below.
Varieties of panels to simulate brickwork
Brick-like panels trim interior partitions and load-bearing walls in houses and apartments. They are leaders among similar materials (one example of which is ceramic tiles) that imitate masonry. They are used to design:
- arches, columns;
- racks in bars;
- loggias;
- bathrooms and toilets;
- scenery in theaters;
- shop and separate halls;
- corridors.
Brick wall panels are classified according to various criteria. They are made from different materials, different sizes, colors and textures. Thanks to this, it is possible to implement original design solutions in practice. Some options similar to the originals are shown in the photo below.
The panels are fixed on the walls with glue, or by creating a pre-frame.
PVC panels are lightweight, they are made from polyvinyl chloride and special additives, mounted on glue.
MDF for brick imitation is created from wood chips.
In addition to the options listed, cheaper panels are available from:
- plywood;
- hardboard;
- fiberglass;
- gypsum;
Rack types are oblong tiles of different widths with a groove on one side for connection with the next structural element.
Decorative panels in the form of a brick require a careful approach to installation. They are highly technologically advanced.
The type-setting variety consists of rectangular plates and is distinguished by a simplified process for creating a pattern from them.
Product characteristics are determined by the properties of their constituent materials. Compared to other types of PVC and MDF products, they are more popular and in demand.
Product features
Panels designed to mimic the appearance of MDF and PVC brickwork have certain advantages and disadvantages.
| № | Advantages of panels | Cons of different types of products |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | ease and simplicity of installation of the coating, which is facilitated by the small weight and thickness of the products; a clerical knife is enough to cut them | after installation, there is a possibility of deformation of the PVC coating made under the brick |
| 2 | no further finishing work is required, because the coating has an attractive decorative look and a wide variety of textures, colors | the material of the products melts from temperature effects, so the panels should be installed away from fireplaces, stoves |
| 3 | there is no need to perfectly align the base during installation, the finishing layer will close its defects | the casing can be easily scratched or damaged |
| 4 | versatility, thanks to which you can use the decor under various external conditions | poor quality products can release harmful chemical compounds into the air when exposed to sunlight |
The photo above shows a decorative design option - a combination of panels with wall painting.
Panels made of MDF and PVC are superior in their merits to similar finishing materials. Their price is less than that of facing bricks, and with one sheet you can cover several square meters of the wall surface at once.
Panels that allow you to imitate brick walls are presented in a fairly wide range. When choosing products, it is necessary to focus on the conditions in which the coating will continue to be. It is required to select a material for wall decoration that has the desired properties. In this case, you should focus on the following recommendations:
- for small rooms, it is advisable to use plates fixed in a horizontal position (rack), because this way the room visually expands;
- white brick wall panels fit well into almost any interior;
- typesetting options of a square shape are relevant if it is necessary to create a unique geometric pattern on the surface of the base;
- rather large, sheet varieties of products are used in spacious rooms that do not contain ledges, niches;
- MDF products are subject to the negative effects of moisture and sunlight, which is why the material is not suitable for the kitchen (in the sink area), decorating baths, baths, saunas, toilets;
- brick-like plastic panels are a practical option in wet areas.
The right choice of decorative wall panels contributes to obtaining a beautiful coating that can retain its original appearance for a long time. The photo below shows an example of such a design.
When choosing a product, it is advisable to give preference to well-known brands whose products are certified. This further contributes to obtaining a high-quality result. When purchasing a product, you must immediately study the recommendations for its installation from the manufacturer on the product label, as well as the operating conditions. It is better to buy materials for fastening the coating elements indicated in the instructions.
Decorative coating care
The use of wall panels for decorating rooms from the inside allows you to decorate rooms quite quickly and without much difficulty. In order for the formed coating to remain attractive for the maximum possible time, it needs to be properly looked after. The main recommendations in this regard are as follows:
- PVC panels imitating a brick surface are cleaned of various contaminants and dust only with a slightly moistened soft cloth (sponge);
- in the process of work, solutions that do not contain aggressive chemicals and abrasive inclusions (powder type) should be used: soap compositions and liquid detergents;
- if it is necessary to replace a damaged panel, dismantling work, and then installation work, must be carried out carefully, slowly, so as not to damage neighboring areas.
The use of powdered surface cleaners leads to the formation of scratches and loss of the original appearance. Compliance with the simple rules outlined above will allow you to avoid trouble with a decorative coating for many years. It should also be borne in mind that in order to achieve a high-quality, durable result, the installation must be carried out according to the technology, and the product must be selected for specific operating conditions.
The use of brick-like panels for interior wall decoration has a number of advantages over conventional material. This is the price, light weight, ease of installation, a wide variety of models to simulate masonry. Products are made from various materials with their own characteristics.
The choice of a particular option depends on the operating conditions. Also of great importance is the manufacturer of the product. You can create a decorative design in the form of brickwork yourself. But it should be borne in mind that the durability of the coating, the absence of deformations on it, directly depends on the correct installation.
Installation of panels indoors is shown in the videos below.
Decorating a room with natural materials has always been popular, but its price is not affordable for everyone. Based on this, most manufacturers began to produce artificial versions that outwardly practically do not differ from the original samples. An example in this matter was the decoration of a room under a brick.
Today, it is not difficult to purchase MDF panels, and a believable imitation of classic masonry will become a highlight in the interior.
Kinds
MDF panels can boast of their main advantage - a pleasant cost, but that's not all. The positive qualities include a large selection of shades, relief structures, various shapes. This is what makes this material so popular. As for such brick-like panels, it should immediately be noted that their installation is very simple. In addition, you can use this material for decoration almost everywhere, as it weighs a little. All these qualities make it possible to expand the scope of use.
The product itself can be made of various materials, based on this they are divided into two types.
- PVC. They include polyvinyl chloride, which is classified as artificial materials. Initially, the material receives only white color and only then it is dyed.
- Panels made under the brick. Such material is immediately distinguished by its appearance, in addition, it has increased reliability and durability. Panels of this type are made using wood chips and high pressure. It is due to the fact that the material is affected by pressure and temperature, it acquires excellent technical qualities.
As a result, during the production process, panels with a rectangular shape and an area of 3-8 m2 are obtained. At the end, the resulting plates are cut with a jigsaw or hacksaw and delivered to stores in this form.
The panel is a good solution, since as a finish it can hide uneven walls, and, if necessary, hide prominent communications and decorate niches.
Modern designers, using such a skin, began to create various decorative elements. Thus, today two-level floors are decorated with brick-like MDF panels, columns are visualized or “torn” surfaces are made.
That is, there are a lot of options in which you can use a brick panel. Therefore, it is not difficult to make a beautiful and exclusive interior, and the work can become very interesting.
Peculiarities
If we take all kinds of artificial finishing materials for comparison, then MDF will be the highest quality among them. Manufactured exterior walls under the brick will be more resistant to various external factors and influences.
It is for this reason that MDF is used for finishing:
- facades;
- balconies;
- gazebo walls.
But this does not mean that MDF cannot be used indoors. This material is ideal for finishing kitchens, hallways and even bathrooms. In the kitchen and in the hallway, it is easy to remove grease and dirt from it, and in the bathroom it will not deteriorate from constant humidity.
Advantages and disadvantages
If you read this material in more detail, you can not help but notice its advantages.
They include many qualities.
- Easy installation. The work of installing the material can be done by yourself, even if you do not have the skills or knowledge. You just need to get acquainted with the technology, and you can safely do the work.
- Brick wall panels weigh a little. For this reason, they can be revetted with any surface.
- The mount does not require preparatory work to level the base. Therefore, there is also a saving of money and time.
- The panels have a long service life. With proper care, they will serve the user for more than 10 years. During operation, cracks or chips will not appear on them. In addition, their appearance does not need to be updated.
- They are universal. For this reason, they can be used on any surface, even for exterior cladding.
- Since the panels can be partially reconstructed, it is possible to replace a single sheet without removing the others.
That is, MDF panels have a lot of positive qualities, but as for the negative sides, it should immediately be said that there are few of them.
However, it is important to be aware of these disadvantages.
- The panels have a low level of fire resistance. In no case should this material be near an open fire, and it should not be subjected to heat treatment either.
- During operation, damage must be avoided. A strong impact may leave an indentation on the material.
Otherwise, there is no reason to deny yourself the pleasure of making the design original with the help of brick-like panels.
MDF in the interior
Brick will look appropriate in a variety of interiors. The design is typical for rural areas and for some classical ones.
For example, these could be styles:
- Gothic;
- loft;
- country;
- romanticism.
The wall cannot be left without decoration, because it plays not only the role of decoration, but also heat and sound insulation.
Not so long ago, the building materials market could only offer wallpaper with a brick pattern, but they did not bring the necessary realism to the interior. Today, the range has been expanded, materials are able to imitate texture and texture.
As for the designers, they thought through the possibilities of decorating such brickwork to the smallest detail.
- Brickwork will be appropriate if there are more than two rooms in the living room. This is due to the fact that, despite the fact that the interior will be cozy and resemble an old castle, it will be inconvenient to be constantly in such a space. A modern resident is not used to such decorations, so he will be under pressure and the impression of a lack of comfort is created.
- In order for the interior not to be overloaded, paneling is best done on one specific wall. This solution is also suitable for one-room apartments, but it is advisable to choose a softer shade. Avoid aggressive styling.
- If you need to decorate only a specific part of the wall, you can use bricks with bright colors. This will highlight a specific area. But you should not decorate a fireplace with this material, since the presence of an open flame can lead to a fire.
- The use of red brick in a living space is not recommended, it is better to use it in restaurants or clubs. At home, this color eliminates the calm and emotional atmosphere.
- If you want a calm, unconstrained atmosphere, white or light gray bricks are the best choice. This design can be entered into a pastel interior. However, one should take into account the possible "chill", so it is advisable to dilute such an environment with something.
There are enough finishing options. They depend only on the size of the room, the lighting in it and, of course, on the wishes of the owner. But with all the positive qualities, one should not forget that in some cases this design will be inappropriate.
PVC brick panels appeared relatively recently. The slabs themselves with a brick texture can be made from various materials, differ from each other in style and appearance. Polyvinyl chloride panels are used in construction quite often due to its features and advantages.
Peculiarities
PVC brick panels are made mainly in two versions. They can be designed for interior and exterior decoration.
These types have certain differences.
- PVC panels used for outdoor decoration are characterized by resistance to high humidity and temperature extremes. They provide for weather conditions and demonstrate resistance to various types of weather precipitation.
- Wall sheet panels for interior work are usually made of natural material, characterized by environmental friendliness. They are smoother and look great on the walls. You can purchase them in various sizes with a unique structure.
When buying this material, you must definitely study the instructions, since it indicates the temperatures acceptable for this type of panel.
This finishing material does not need special care, however, if you want to extend the life of your interior, then you need to follow some rules for care.
- The surface of this material can only be cleaned with a damp cloth slightly moistened with soapy water.
- The use of aggressive cleaning agents is strictly prohibited. Especially powder versions can cause maximum damage to the surface, leading to scratches and possible loss of the original color.
- If one panel was damaged, then it can be removed and a new one installed. The only thing is that this case requires accuracy.
Varieties
Panels with a brick texture are of several types.
They are classified depending on what material they are based on, so it is worth highlighting:
- PVC panels are a durable material that includes polyvinyl chloride and special sealant additives;
- MDF boards, where wood chips are the main raw material.
Panels that imitate brickwork may have different technical characteristics, design, manufacturing method and color. Only one thing remains unchanged - the external proximity to the brickwork.
Both considered materials are easy to use and install. With their help, you can create unique interiors. Panels with a brick texture are combined with almost any finishing materials. They perfectly hide irregularities and existing defects on the walls. With their help, you can create various decorative elements. They can be installed not only on the walls, but also on the ceiling, but this option is quite rare.
Application
With the help of PVC panels, you can decorate various types of premises, both residential and public. The material in question is moisture resistant, so it can be used in the kitchen, bathroom, loggias and terraces. Panels are produced in the form of sheets, rails or plates. The front side has a brick texture or imitates natural stone. By means of special blanks, manufacturers create a realistic three-dimensional styling, on which resistant paints are applied and a film with a characteristic pattern is glued.
Typically, these panels are installed on a frame, which is very convenient if there are any defects and irregularities on the walls. In some cases, an adhesive is used to install the panel.
Small irregularities are also not an obstacle, since the material is characterized by excellent flexibility, due to which minor deviations will not be noticeable. On the contrary, small irregularities allow the coating to look as natural as possible, which is what many designers strive for.
Features and requirements
Facing material, which is used for interior decoration of the premises, must meet the following requirements:
- it must be characterized by high strength, but be flexible and resilient;
- at the heart of these finishing materials should be exclusively environmentally friendly raw materials;
- PVC panels must be resistant to temperature changes;
- be resistant to high humidity;
- comply with existing fire safety standards;
- decorative elements should be installed simply and quickly;
- it is recommended that the material be characterized by resistance to detergents.
With the help of the presented PVC panels, many problems can be solved. This facing material allows you to mask existing damage and defects in the wall.
Also, using these panels, you can level the required surface. This is a unique opportunity to hide existing communications, while the presented type of finish significantly increases the heat-insulating and sound-proof properties of the room.
The advantages of this material are not limited to the ability to solve many technical problems. The panels in question are able to create a unique, aesthetic appearance of the surface. The light and white version is by far the most popular. Many users choose small bricks, as well as vinyl models that have an aged look. This imitation of the "old" interior has positive reviews.
Advantages
PVC brick panels are most often purchased for interior decoration. As a rule, they are mounted on walls.
This type of finish is characterized by many advantages.
- The presented method of finishing the room acts as its insulation, and you will only have to spend money on insulation, which will need to be placed under the panels.
- Do not worry about the evenness of the wall surface, since the panels can be installed on plaster, while the frame structure is able to level the surface.
- It is possible to combine finishing work with insulation, and you can also apply a layer of waterproofing.
- You can opt for the PVC version, which is notable for its low cost. This will allow you to significantly save on finishing work.
- Polyvinyl chloride products are characterized by a long service life. They are made of safe and durable material that does not pose a danger to the human body. The plastic panels also differ in these characteristics.
- To carry out wall cladding with PVC brick panels, you do not need to call the master. You can do it yourself. You just need to follow the installation instructions.
Please note that installation can only be carried out at temperatures above -5 degrees Celsius. Otherwise, the panels will become very brittle and may be damaged by the slightest impact.
Installation
PVC brick panels are installed on a prepared frame, and it does not matter what relief they have. The appearance of the facing work done will depend on how correctly the frame was installed. This is the most difficult thing in installing PVC panels, since the geometric correctness of the plane depends on this method of fastening.
Tool preparation
In order to perform high-quality laying of PVC panels, you need to purchase the following materials and tools:
- metal or wooden slats, which can be purchased at any hardware store, but they can be supplied with panels;
- a simple thread or a plumb line, which are required to check the vertical;
- perforator, dowels and screws for installation.
Please note that in order to make a frame of wood, it is necessary to pre-treat the material with an antiseptic, because this will increase its service life.
Frame installation
PVC panels must be in the same plane. First you need to make the markup, which should be done as accurately as possible.
You can do this in the following way:
- you need to attach the thread to the wall, which will immediately determine the deviations of the plane;
- to the resulting size, it is necessary to add the thickness of the insulation, and this must be done in a small plus. Please note that when you fix the insulation, keep an eye on its safety, since deformation will lead to the loss of its basic properties. It will be necessary to leave a gap of 1 cm;
- strapping is carried out over the entire plane, where fastenings are made using dowels or anchors.
- you need to attach intermediate rails. In this case, it is required to be based on the width of the insulation, while it is not recommended to mount them at a distance of more than one meter from each other.
- After installing the frame, you can proceed to fixing the waterproofing. The film must overlap.
Implementation of fastening
At the very beginning, you need to install the top bar. Using the thread, it is necessary to determine the place where the lower rail will be located. Next, you need to fix the intermediate strips. Now you can proceed to fixing the panels decorated with bricks.
