Features of installation of lamps in the PVC panel

Regardless of what the destination of the room, its interior is formed by various building materials. One of the main aspects of the design of the room is the lighting. If we talk about the installation of lighting in a material such as PVC panel, then this task is very difficult. To perform it, you need certain knowledge that will help not only to place the lamp correctly, but also to connect it to the network.

Nowadays, the popularity of multi-level ceilings, organized with the help of PVC panels or drywall, is gradually moving back. At the moment, a more modern version of the design of ceilings is a tension material. However, compared to this popular finish, PVC panels are popular due to their beautiful appearance and reasonable price. The main advantage of this material can be calledthat it can be embedded any lamps.

Polyvinyl chloride, or as it is called plastic, does not need special skills for installation work. If a person has all the necessary tools and is able to use them with confidence, then the installation can be carried out independently, and the plastic ceiling will be no worse than that of specialists.

Today you can purchase the following types of panels:

• for the ceiling;
• for walls;
• glossy;
• with texture.

Despite the fact that the choice of panels is quite large, and they have many advantages, they also have disadvantages, the main one is that they depend on temperature. If the temperature is excessively high, the appearance and quality of the material will begin to deteriorate. For this reason, choosing lamps for installation in the panel, you need to be very careful and responsible. Due to the fact that the temperature may adversely affect the design, lamps should not have a capacity of more than 40 watts.Experts do not recommend the use of incandescent lamps and gas discharge tubes.

Special lamps with protective metal rings are produced for this type of finish., which partially reduce the effect of the temperature factor on the ceiling. The ring can be purchased separately, it can be combined with almost any other light source, they are suitable even for spotlights.

It is equally important to pay attention to the enclosure sealing. This is especially important for rooms with high humidity. The ideal option in this case could be an LED luminaire, which operates at the expense of constant low voltage. They can be used in the bathroom, bathroom and in the kitchen. When purchasing a different type of lamp, you need to pay attention to the mark, which means the degree of protection against moisture and dust. For example, IP44: in this case, the first digit here means the reliability of protection against moisture, the second - against dust, the higher the figure, the better.

Before you begin the installation process, you need to prepare.

First, prepare the tools you need to work:

• construction pencil;
• drill;
• crown;
• knife (preferably clerical);
• grout paper;
• free space for drilling, one chair is enough.

If viewed from the construction side, the PVC ceiling is panels that are placed in parallel and connected using special slots. It is very important to take care that the distance between the base of the ceiling and the material makes it possible to make safe wiring later. All calculations should be carried out in the first stages of work.

In order to mount the lamp in the panel was strong and reliable, you will need to drill a hole. But before that, create a project that will help calculate the required number of lighting devices and their location. Pick a place and make a pencil outline. After this begins the partial covering of the ceiling with the material, the installation of the stand and the organization of the holes. They should be made with a special crown, which is designed to work with plastic and plasterboard materials.Now you can cut a hole, all the resulting irregularities need to be removed.

In order to connect the ceiling lights, you need a wire with a size of 3x1.5 square meters. mm In the event that the wiring will be done in a room with humidity, the wire must first be protected with a corrugated tube and connected to a switchboard, which will be located behind the room.

In addition, at the design stage, it should also be taken into account that the distance from the wall to the light source should be more than 0.6 m. When you make a project, think about all the nuances, how the wires, switches, of course, lamps will be located. This will simplify self-installation.And also pay attention to the fact that each light source must be connected to a separate wire.
