Preparing to install panels

Installation work begins with the preparation of the basement of the building. For this:

• the condition of the foundation is assessed. All identified defects are eliminated. Curvature is removed. Significant differences in height are removed. They can cause the sheathing to weaken;
• base plastered or putty. After complete drying of the formed coating, two layers of primer are applied to the surface;
• insulation is performed. The heat insulator can be mounted directly on the wall or installed under the crate. In both cases, the marking and installation of direct suspensions for fastening the gypsum board guides is carried out;
• the crate is mounted.

“For insulation, you should use vapor-permeable materials. The installation of mineral wool should be carried out using a layer of waterproofing ”.

Plinth trim panels: algorithm of actions

In order to qualitatively finish the base / plinth with panels, you should proceed in the following sequence:

• fastening the starting or J-strip to the lathing or directly to the wall in the absence of insulation. The element is positioned strictly horizontally. The self-tapping screws should be tightened in 40 cm increments, placing them exactly in the middle of the oval holes. When tightening the self-tapping screws, it is necessary to leave a small stroke due to possible thermal expansion. If the line of the basement relative to the ground is uneven, the material is cut from the bottom, and the installation is performed without using the starting bar directly to the crate;
• the panels are installed in the direction from left to right or from bottom to top. The first one is installed in the starting rail and fixed with self-tapping screws. The next one is inserted in the same way and is wound to the left, ensuring full contact with the first through a lock connection. The installed elements are attached to the upper edge with self-tapping screws;
• outside corners and protruding parts are formed with the help of corner profiles. They are mounted on top of the finished canvas, decorating the joints and preventing the penetration of water and wind into the interior;
• a finishing strip or J-strip is mounted on top.
