Plastic can be considered the most affordable and easiest to attach material. There is a large number of controversies surrounding it, primarily related to security. Many people ask how harmful it can be to install plastic wall panels in a home. Opinions vary. We have to admit that the base of the plastic composite is a material that is usually used for food packaging. It is also approved by the SES authorities and recommended for use. But one cannot fail to take into account that during smoldering or burning, the material releases quite toxic substances that negatively affect the human body. You should also remember that if the ambient temperature changes by 40°C, a three-meter plastic panel can increase in length by 1 cm.
Plastic wall panels for kitchen
In relation to the kitchen, it is better to use plastic wall panels in places that are protected from combustion sources. This precaution will help you avoid accidents and also extend the service life of the material. You can reasonably ask a question about kitchen splashbacks, which are mounted from plastic wall panels. Yes, this is indeed the case. And we emphasize once again that such a combination of decorative elements is acceptable, but is not durable and may not always be safe.

Plastic panels are also used to decorate the walls in the bathroom. Of course, they do not look as noble as tiles, but they have an advantage in their cost, as well as in the cost of installation, which can be done independently.

Plastic wall panels for corridor
Plastic panels are also widely used to decorate corridor walls. This is very convenient from an ergonomic point of view. The corridor is essentially a passageway in the apartment. We can often notice traces of poorly removed shoes and other random stains on the wallpaper in the hallway. It is quite difficult to remove such stains from wallpaper, but from a plastic wall panel it is quite simple.

Exterior Plastic Wall Panels
Among other things, plastic wall panels are used for exterior decoration of the house. Such panels are called Siding. The installation of such material is not much different from the principle of installing lining. The panels simply cling to each other and are fixed with screws. Siding can be installed on wood or metal sheathing. Exterior decoration with plastic panels looks quite interesting and original. If dirt stains appear on the panels after heavy rainfall, they can be easily removed with a hose and good water pressure.
