Today, for wall finishingall sorts material. Their choice is so great that it is difficult to decide. In this case, each material has certain properties. They should be considered. In some cases, only plastic panels are relevant. Than to cut such material, know far not all.
Plastic panels are an indispensable material forfinishing surfaces in the bathrooms, garden houses, loggias, toilets. After all, it has a number of advantages. So what is the difference between plastic panels? What to cut such material and how? Among the advantages of the panels is worth noting their resistance to moisture. In addition, they are classified as low-combustible materials. Mounting them is not difficult. In addition, plastic panels are resistant to abrasion, so they serve for a long time, but are relatively cheap.
So, the better to cut plastic panels?Everything depends on the condition of the surface to be trimmed. This is the complexity of the installation. If the surface is smooth, straight and smooth, you can immediately cut the finishing material, fitting all the details, and also cutting the required number of panels.
If the surface has irregularities, and alsorequires figured sections, then the process of mounting the finishing material will be somewhat complicated. In some cases, the wall may include architectural elements, such as ledges, doors, windows and so on. In this case, it is necessary to cut the plastic panels during installation.
It is worth noting that such a constructionthe material is fairly simple to process. Slice the plastic panel with almost any tool. Usually for such work, a hacksaw on wood or metal is used. The size of the teeth on the tool must be taken into account. The smaller they will be, the better. The main advantage of this method is that, if necessary, you can simultaneously cut several panels. In this case, the facing material is recommended to be placed face up, under the slope. The panel is very easy to cut. However, it is necessary to avoid strong pressure.
If you decided to cut plastic panelsuse a saw on a tree, it is worth choosing a tool for mixed or transverse sawing, with undiluted teeth. As a result, a neat and even edge will be obtained.
So, what to cut plastic panels?For such purposes, many use a jigsaw. However, in the cutting process, you must strictly follow the pressure. Otherwise, the material can not withstand pressure and break. To speed up the installation of such panels, many use circular saws and bolgars, but experts do not recommend the use of such tools. The plastic itself is fragile and can be easily broken by careless handling. In addition, during the cutting process, the material can be heated due to the high speed of the blade rotation. As a result, the edges of the panels may melt. In addition, when heated, this material begins to release toxic substances.
Now you know what plastic panels are.What to cut such material, if there is no hacksaw and electric jigsaw? Specialists say that you can use a knife for this. It is best to use a special tool designed for construction. You can buy it at any store. But if necessary, you can make a tool from sheet metal.
Also can be used for cutting plasticpanels of a stationery knife. For this, an incision is made on the surface of the material with a ruler. After that, the panel simply breaks. It is not recommended to use an ordinary knife. This method of cutting is much better than those described above. However, cutting with a knife panel with a cell structure is almost impossible.
