Glassnius sheets panels are very popular material and are widely used in various construction and repair work. This is an environmentally friendly and refractory material, which makes it possible to use it for the interior decoration of residential premises. They gained popularity among specialists due to their qualitative characteristics and, importantly, the simplicity and ease of installation.
We will consider the features of the installation of SML panels. This information can become useful for those who decide to use them on their own.
For installation work of glass deck sheets, you will need the following:
Standard brackets used when working with drywall;
Self -tapping screws are preferably with a secret hat;
metal profile (it is recommended to use a galvanized profile or aluminum);
putty;
Reinforcement tape.
The fastening of sheets can be carried out both horizontally and vertically – this does not have a fundamental value. If a longitudinal scheme of fastening of sheets is used, then they will fall on the walls vertically, and on the ceiling – longitudinally. Please note that in cases where the height of the room exceeds the length of the sheets, you will have to pay special attention to the execution and processing of horizontal connecting seams. In this case, the minimum permissible distance between the horizontal seams is 60 cm.
For decoration of walls, ceiling and floor, a certain thickness sheet of SML is selected the price of which largely depends on this parameter.
When mounting the sheets of SML, the following recommendations should be adhered to:
Between the lower edge of the sheet and the floor, a gap of about 10 mm should be left, which, after all installation work is performed by putty;
Distance between mounts, t. e. Step – should be 25 cm;
To avoid deformation of the sheet, fastening should be moved from the center to the perimeter;
Self -tapping screws should be located from the edge on average at a distance of 1.5 cm; In addition, the self -tapping hat should be slightly drowned into the surface of the sheet;
For putty sutures between the sheets, almost any plaster mixtures can be used; Acrylic sealant is also suitable for these purposes;
the uneven edge can be removed using a milling machine.
