The choice of class and method of attachment

When choosing a laminate, it is worth considering that:

• a heavy load will not affect the laminate;
• the choice of lock system depends on the mounting method;
• an interior with a laminate on the wall should give an aesthetic pleasure, which will help the range of colors and textures.

Mounting Methods

• Glue. This is a system without locks, installation is carried out only with glue, which is applied to the side and back. The glue for the laminate on the wall should be on silicone, or “liquid nails”. The panels are glued one after another, and the emerging glue must be cleaned immediately with a wet sponge. Rarely used for crates.
• Clicky. To fasten two parts, they are tilted at an angle of 20 degrees to each other and the laminate is brought into grooves. The lock is easily latched and firmly connects the panels. It can be fixed with glue to the crate, this option is resistant to mechanical stress.
• Groovy. Fastening according to the principle of a tongue-and-groove lock which does not need to be glued additionally. Mounting on the frame, the panel is fixed in the recess with the help of clamps.

Which class to choose?

For laying the laminate on the wall, it is not necessary to use the highest durable class (from 33 to 34), material of low strength from 21 to 31 classes is sufficient.

Horizontal and vertical styling

Horizontal method

The joints converge in one line, which must be covered with skirting boards, and they are attached to the wall with dowels, nails. The plinth is placed no more than after 1.5 meters. So that the laying is strong, and the load is distributed evenly, the laminate should be cut into strips before starting.

Horizontal placement of boards in the interior (as in the photo) will make the room wider, and vertical - higher.

Vertical method

The laminate on the wall is vertically mounted on a flat surface with glue, there are many laying options, you can combine the remains from different lots and colors to create a unique interior design.

How to fix a laminate on a wall? (video)

There are two common ways to mount on the wall: glue and crate.

Glue method

It requires a flat surface to which the laminate will be attached, otherwise gaps will appear and the service life will be lower. Installing a laminate board on a wall with this method does not require special knowledge and you can do it yourself. You can glue any kind of panels, with or without locks.

When installing with glue, in addition to liquid nails on silicone, special glue can be used, then the panel is pressed. For a better strength, the castle can be glued. It may concern the question of how to lay a laminate on a wall if it takes a lot of plaster to align them. In this case, it is worth choosing the second method.

Lath made of metal or wood

This method does not require the creation of a flat wall surface using plaster or drywall, since a frame is created. The lathing makes additional warming and soundproofing of the room. Here the panel is mounted on nails or kleimers. This method is longer, but will help to save on leveling the walls.

To create a wooden crate, 2-4 cm slats are needed, which are attached to the wall at a distance of 20-50 cm parallel to future panels. The metal frame is made of drywall profiles, and some manufacturers also offer a finished frame.
