Fixing Plastic Wall and Ceiling Cladding
Overview
Improving the quality of your wall and ceiling cladding projects can be achieved by following standard procedures. This guide outlines key processes to help you achieve better results. While not exhaustive, it highlights essential points to focus on.
Key Steps
Preparation and Edging
Begin by installing the bottom and top edge pieces, securing them to the wall with screws. Slide the cladding sheets into these edges. Attach the horizontal joints to the vertical ends of the sheets, and fix them to the wall. Corners, doors, and windows require additional internal and external angles for a neat finish.
Details for Top and Bottom Edges
Ensure all sheet edges are firmly attached to the wall using J edges, H joints, and appropriate angles. For uneven walls, two-piece joints between sheets are recommended. In cases where only wall cladding is applied, use a J edge for the top. If ceiling cladding is involved, trapping the top of the wall cladding with the ceiling or using a two-piece internal corner as coving may be more effective.
Seal the wall and J edge/Maxbash skirting with high-quality silicone beading for a permanent finish.
Installing Cladding Sheets
Insert the cladding sheet into the top and bottom J edges, then fit a one-piece H joint to the sheet’s vertical edge, allowing space for expansion. Secure the joint to the wall. Continue this process, adding each sheet into the J edges and H joint until the entire wall is covered. Use silicone sealant between sheets and joints to ensure a watertight finish.
Corners
Corners should be addressed with internal and external angles. For non-square corners, opt for a universal angle with a flexible center to adjust the angle as needed.
General Tips
This guide provides a general overview to get you started. To handle specific challenges, refer to the instruction manual provided with your cladding sheets. Thoroughly reviewing the manual can greatly impact the quality of your work.
Conclusion
This article has outlined the steps for effectively fixing cladding sheets to walls. The standard process involves securing the bottom and top J edges, inserting a sheet, attaching an H joint, and repeating until the walls are entirely covered. Internal and external angles handle corners, while a quality silicone sealant ensures waterproofing the entire surface.
