PVC decorative panels appeared on the market recently, but have already managed to win the love of the people. They have many advantages:
• they are easy to use (they are easy and quick to install);
• when joining two panels, the seam is not visible;
• sufficiently resistant to water, which allows them to be used in the bathroom;
• hardly flammable (have the property of self-extinguishing until a temperature of + 391 ° C is reached);
• do not require careful maintenance.
Another big plus is their versatility. Decorative panels will decorate any room: kitchen or bathroom, walls in the corridor or door in the room - each client will be satisfied. PVC decorative panel "mosaic", sheet decorative panels or wood-like panels can be used with a budget repair option. If we consider the decorative mosaic PVC panel, then, using a variety of color options and combinations, with its help you can make the interior interesting and save time. Such panels are an excellent replacement for wallpaper and tile, which is much more expensive. For those who love coziness and believe that it is a tree that embodies warmth and comfort, they produce panels "under the tree." In such rooms you can safely put a fireplace and panels will complement it well. Sheet decorative panels are environmentally friendly and safe, they do not attract dirt and dust, and due to their tight fit to the surface, nothing will penetrate inside. There are no dents or scratches on the laminated plastic panels, so they can be safely used to decorate doors.
What materials will be required to give a conventional wooden door a presentable appearance:
• decorative mosaic PVC panel with a sheet size of 485 x 960 mm;
• scissors;
• polymer glue.
Before gluing the door with panels, a number of preparatory work is necessary. Since we will not cover the ends of the door with panels, we will free them from excess paint, clean them with sandpaper and paint them in the desired color. If you want the ends to not differ in color from the plastic canvas, select the appropriate paint tone in a specialized store. We decided to paint the ends of the door with white paint, the same as the door frame and slopes.
Our door is not continuous, but with "windows", so that plastic sheets adhere to the main door leaf, you need to measure them correctly. We have 6 "windows", therefore, there will be 6 sheets of plastic, although the size of the PVC panels allows you to use 4 sheets, but only if the door is solid.
We will lubricate the door along the contour with glue for better adhesion to PVC panels, so first we outline the location of each panel, and then grease the door with glue.
The panels are easily cut with scissors.

After we cut the canvases of the desired size, on the reverse side we grease each sheet with glue, then apply it to the door and press along the contour.

To fix the sheets, you can use masking tape. After the second panel is pasted, with masking tape we fix them on the sides, on top and between each other.

Similarly, glue the next 2 middle panels, then 2 more sheets from the bottom.

When the door is glued with PVC panels on one side, use a knife to cut a hole for the handle with the lock and insert the inside of the lock.

We glue the door on the other side and only after that we install the handle.

After 4 - 5 hours, masking tape can be removed. This is what the finished door looks like.

The entire door repair process took no more than 2 hours.
