A New Era in Home Renovation: You No Longer Need to Remove Old Tiles
The days of enduring lengthy tile demolition during home renovations, dealing with the dust spreading throughout the house, and dealing with bags full of rubble are now a thing of the past. According to a report published in O Antagonista newspaper, PVC panels with a locking system offer the opportunity to transform areas such as bathrooms, enclosed balconies, and pantries in a practical way by mounting directly onto the existing surface without having to remove the old ceramics.
Let's take a closer look 👇
This method, particularly effective in areas where the bathroom and washing machine are located, minimizes waste and construction hassle. It creates a seamless new layer on the wall by interlocking the panels together.
Panels that can be applied directly on smooth surfaces with special adhesives are mounted on curved or rough walls with the aid of profiles. The correct placement of the first panel, ensured by leveling, is of vital importance for the symmetry of the entire wall.
The orientation of PVC panels directly alters the perception of space in typical small bathrooms and enclosed balconies in Turkey: Vertical Installation: It adds a sense of spaciousness to cramped areas by making the ceiling appear higher.
Horizontal Installation: It visually expands the walls, making narrow bathrooms or corridor-like pantries appear more spacious.
In this system, which stands out with its practicality, the most crucial point to pay attention to is the current condition of the wall below.
PVC panels do not remedy hidden water leaks behind tiles, plumbing leaks, or dampness. Covering these issues while they persist will only lead to water causing damage internally. Therefore, all leak and mold problems need to be resolved prior to the installation of the cladding.
The placement of faucets, outlets, washing machine drains, and valve access points in bathrooms and balconies should be meticulously planned during the cutting phase.
Moreover, it's recommended not to use lightweight PVCs, which are specifically produced for ceilings, on the walls, and to adhere to the manufacturer's instructions when installing around high-heat emitting devices like water heaters or boilers.
For those who are tired of the old tiles in their homes but fear the mess of construction, this method offers the quickest and cleanest aesthetic transformation, provided there are no structural issues.
