How to cover an outdoor pool. Finishing of swimming pools with PVC film, tiles, mosaics, wood and other materials

What is PVC film and its distinctive features, about the advantages and disadvantages of the material, how to prepare a pool for wallpapering, basic work, final finishing.

Features of using PVC film for a swimming pool

When deciding to build a swimming pool, it is important not only to determine its location, but also to take into account where the groundwater, decide what shape the pond will be, but also choose what material it will be finished with inner side.

To the attention of consumers as finishing material tiles, mosaics and PVC film are offered. If laying the first two will take up to 3 months, then installing a film coating will take a short period of time, and even a non-professional can do it, following our instructions and recommendations.

If we take into account the decorative properties of PVC films, they are inferior to tiles and mosaics, but not everyone wants to turn a pool into a work of art; the main asset of the film material is its waterproofing qualities and reliability. The film is subjected to special treatment, which prevents the development of microorganisms on the surface of the water. This allows you to clean the pool less often.

PVC film for pools also has other names - “liner” or “alkorplan” (manufacturer’s name). It consists of polyester fiber, to which a stabilizer has been added that protects against destructive effects. ultraviolet rays. An acrylic layer is also added to the material, which gives it a shiny, attractive appearance.

This material is widely used for interior decoration both outdoor and indoor pools. 60% of indoor and 90% of outdoor reservoirs are finished with liner.

Customers are offered two types of film:

• Regular PVC Film for Pool. This is a synthetic material, it is based on plasticized PVC. The liner is produced in rolls, its width is as follows - 1.6 m, 2.4 m and 6.8 m, the length has one size - 25 meters. One roll is enough to cover a pond with an area of ​​40 m2. The film thickness is 0.5 mm, 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm, 1.2 mm. For pools with shallow bowls, a 0.5 mm or 0.8 mm film is used. For deeper ones, 1.0 mm and 1.2 mm, respectively. Both smooth versions and those with an anti-slip surface are available for sale. Corrugated material is used to finish steps, as well as the bottom in small areas of the bowl for the safety of swimmers, especially children. The liner tolerates temperature fluctuations well and is therefore used to cover outdoor ponds. In addition to plain film, consumers are offered materials with patterns that imitate tiles, marble and even mosaics. The cost of such a coating is slightly more expensive than a smooth one.
• Butyl rubber film. It has the following qualities: strength, as well as a significant service life. This film cuts and glues well and is suitable for large bodies of water where high strength is required. The material tolerates temperature fluctuations well, which means that you can work with it even in harsh winters. It is produced in the following sizes: thickness - 1 mm, width - 3.05 m, 6.1 m, 9.15 m, 12.2 m, 15.25 m. Roll length - 15.25 m, 30.5 m , 45.75 m, and 61.0 m. The two-layer nature of the film increases its strength and durability.

Owners of small pools can be offered the first, more economical type of film. For owners of large and relief structures, it is necessary to choose the second, more durable and expensive option. When choosing a PVC film for covering pools, you need to consider two of them: important properties: elasticity, that is, the ability to stretch well and not lose its properties, as well as the thickness of the material, on which the service life of the coating depends.

The liner is a very durable material, it is suitable both for installation on new pool bowls and for the reconstruction of old ones. The relatively low price makes it affordable for buyers and ensures high waterproofing properties of the pool.

Advantages and disadvantages of PVC film

The service life of film coating is up to 10 years, which is much less than covering with tiles or mosaics. But the installation of such finishing is carried out quickly, it is easily repaired and, if necessary, replaced with another, while changing the appearance of the pool.

The main advantages include the following:

1. Easy to install.
2. It is not exposed to the sun, frost, or ice, so it is used for outdoor pools.
3. Acceptable price for wide categories of customers.
4. It has universal properties and is used for bowls made of any materials (brick, concrete, stone, etc.).
5. Long service life.
6. Prevents the development of microorganisms.

Disadvantages of PVC film:

• Damaged by a cutting object.
• In direct contact with chlorine it is destroyed.
• The liner has a limited selection of colors.

Technology of waterproofing a swimming pool with PVC film

Before waterproofing the pool with PVC film, prepare the following tools that you will need to attach it: welding machine with attachments, metal ruler of maximum length, dyeing cord, sharp scissors. In addition, you will need the following materials: film, backing, fastening strip, elastic glue, screws.

Preparatory work

To perform a technologically correct lining of a reservoir, it is necessary that the surface of the bowl be impeccably smooth. If there are small deposits of plaster on the walls and bottom, they must be removed using ordinary tools - a spatula, sandpaper. If there are potholes on the surface, they must be filled with putty.

The brick bowl of the pools is first plastered, then sanded, and the concrete bowl is putty. It is necessary to give importance to the corners and sides; here all materials must be particularly well connected to the surface.

At the preparation stage, you need to ensure that the embedded parts are installed flush with the surface of the bowl and have sealing flanges. If these parts are recessed, then covering the pool with PVC film will be difficult. Typically, flanges are made of plastic or steel; they are equipped with a rubber gasket that does not react to the effects of chlorine. Screw connections allow flanges with embedded parts to be hermetically secured.

PVC film is also of no small importance for the restoration of reservoirs lined with tiles that have lost their waterproofing qualities. Here the liner is laid directly on the tile or mosaic finish. If the surface is damaged, it is necessary to dismantle the coating, level it, and then lay down the film material.

Laying the underlay and fastening strip

Finishing a pool with PVC film usually begins with laying the backing material under the liner and attaching the fastening strip. The backing material is used to protect the film from contact directly with the surface of the pool.

On the sides of the reservoir, the substrate is mounted between concrete wall and a metal fastening strip, to which the film itself is then attached. The edge of the material must hang down. When fastening, it is necessary to prevent overlapping of the material and, accordingly, the occurrence of thickenings.

The substrate is laid randomly on the base of the reservoir. When the pool has embedded elements, you need to cut holes in the underlying material equal to the size of the flange.

In the case when it is attached to a ladder, special materials should be used, for example, foil, which protect the substrate from burning when welding to the fastening strip.

The fastening strip is a tape made of metal, coated with plastic, where PVC film will be attached in the future. Strip length - 2 m, thickness - 2 mm. Fastening is done using screws at intervals of 10-15 cm.

If the reservoir has a complex structure, then the fastening strip must also be installed at its bottom. If the base of the pool is pyramid-shaped, then it is fixed to all edges. In a situation where the base has the shape of steps, the fastening strip is installed, as on the sides.

If there is a ladder in the pool, a fixing angle should be used to attach the film. In this case, all corners of the structure will be covered with corners.

The most difficult thing is to secure the fastening strip for round-shaped pools. Moreover, the smaller the roundness, the more difficult it is to fix it. Additional costs for fittings may apply.

Installation instructions for PVC film

Before gluing PVC film for a pool, prepare a welding machine that is equipped with various attachments. Most favorable temperature regime for welding material - +15 degrees and above. Welding work will be carried out more efficiently if the air temperature is high.

To preserve the hermetic properties of the film and give it an aesthetic appearance, it is necessary to follow the technology of welding the material and prevent debris from getting on the sheets being welded, and cut the film coating correctly to prevent unnecessary consumption of material.

Installation of film material is carried out as follows:

1. Laying the coating begins from the bottom of the reservoir. When installing, PVC films are removed from the walls of the pool by 1-2 cm, making an overlap of 5-8 cm. If the bottom of the reservoir has a complex shape, it is spread out and allowed to rest.
2. Before starting welding, you need to check the sheets for debris and other contaminants.
3. When starting to weld surfaces, you should grab the sheets; for this, use a low temperature. The tack is done so that the panels being welded do not change their position, since during the process they can move, and then folds appear that cannot be smoothed out when the pool is filled with water.
4. With large voltage drops, you need to ensure uniform heating of the surfaces being welded.
5. When welding PVC film for a pool, you need to ensure that carbon deposits do not form. When it appears, remove it using a metal brush.
6. After installing the film on the bottom, they begin to place sheets on the vertical parts of the reservoir, making an overlap of 5-8 cm. In the area of ​​the wall-bottom seams, wall-wall in the corner, an overlap of 15 cm is maintained. The PVC film is laid on the vertical parts of the reservoir by welding to the fastening strip. Here, too, before making welding, it is necessary to weld it.
7. Work on welding the material at the corners of the pool is done last.

Note! When making a wall-bottom seam, it is necessary to take into account that the stretching of the film coating occurs in the horizontal plane. In this regard, it is recommended to move the sheet away from the edge of the pool by 3 cm along the entire bottom.

Treatment of seams with sealant

After completing the welding, you need to check the seams to see if any part of them is missing somewhere, or if there is a defect during welding. Then it is recommended to treat them all with a so-called sealant. It is a liquid that has the property of hardening when exposed to air, but remaining soft during the hardening process. It is the same color as the main material.

The sealant is distributed using a special oiler. When applying the substance to vertical joints, work must be done from top to bottom. Then it must be allowed to dry for at least 30 minutes, after which you can pour water into the pool.

After installing the film covering, you can fill the structure with water, always warm, about 40 degrees, to approximately a height of 30-40 cm. Next, install the flanges of the embedded elements. At the same time, holes are made in the film, ensuring the necessary tension of its sheets. Once the flanges and other embedded parts are in place, the pool can be filled to full level.

The pool is now completely ready for use! It's time to enjoy relaxing on the shore of your pond.

Interest in finishing swimming pools with PVC film is a global trend due to excellent performance qualities material and affordable cost. Finishing a pool with film is several times cheaper than similar work using ceramic or glass tiles (mosaics).

The time required to finish a swimming pool with PVC coating is significant. less than that which is required for finishing work with other materials. This finishing option does not require preliminary waterproofing of the bowl. The material, in addition to good decorative and heat-shielding properties, is an excellent waterproofing agent that ensures complete tightness of the structure.

Finishing the pool bowl with PVC film - beautiful, reliable, fast.

To finish the pool bowl with PVC film, we offer the Italian Flagpool coating, made on the basis of plasticized polyvinyl chloride, Spanish film with CeFil reinforcement, non-woven insulation as a base, fastening strips and corners, as well as seam seals in the color of the selected base material. The Aqua Flagpool coating is impregnated with a bioprotective composition that prevents the development of microorganisms. CeFil film has a special varnish coating and impregnation with additives that prevent the formation of mold. Film color range: white, blue, blue, blue with imitation of solar glare, mosaic. The Caraibi Flagpool material used for finishing will make you believe that you have plunged into the waters of the Caribbean Sea!

It is better to entrust the work of finishing the pool bowl with PVC film to specialists - in addition to accuracy and precision, skill is required. Laying is usually performed by 2-3 people. The process consists of the following steps:

• the bowl is checked for surface irregularities, leveled if necessary, then thoroughly cleaned;
• the non-woven insulation is laid out and secured with a fastening strip (this operation is not always performed);
• the material is cut - the film should cover the entire surface;
• the seams are fastened with a welding gun, then treated with a seam sealant to match the color of the material;
• corners of steps and other differences are fixed with mounting angles;
• the bowl is filled with water (approximately 300 mm in height), the strips of material are tightened so that there are no creases left;
• the film is welded and then fixed with a fastening strip.

Almost all people dreamed of having their own swimming pool and regularly enjoying communication with water element. This is a great way to spend time, good for psycho-emotional and physical health. But hardly anyone could have guessed that repairing the walls in a swimming pool with your own hands could be even more difficult than the process of its construction itself. This may sound strange, but every specialist understands this perfectly well.

When repairing pool walls, new tools and materials are used. The better quality they are, the more reliable and better the work will be. During the renovation, you need to take into account the texture of surfaces, the overall shade, the color of different zones and, of course, functionality. It is important not only to perform well Finishing work, but also select and install necessary equipment to ensure complete coziness and comfort for yourself or your clients.

Experienced construction professionals are perfectly familiar with the problem of pool collapse. First of all, swimming pools are subject to this open type, namely, their bowls. As a result large number freezing cycles, water that gets into microcracks in the concrete surface leads to cracks in the monolith.

In a few years, the structure will be so damaged that it will no longer be able to hold water. Coping with such a problem is not easy, and only with the help of different mixtures intended for grouting damaged areas, although this method only gives a temporary result and is a waste of money and time.

Features of the room

Wall finishing in a room where the humidity level is above 60% must be done with special calculation. Bathrooms, just like rooms with swimming pools, are usually very wet; for this reason, moisture-resistant materials are used when decorating such rooms. When designing the finishing of swimming pools, it is necessary that one and a half liters of water evaporate from 1 m 2 of the pool “mirror” per day.

If the humidity in such a room is more than 65%, then there is a lack of oxygen in the air, which will create a health risk. Moreover, if the pool is located in the house, dampness and humidity with all the accompanying negative properties can penetrate into other rooms of the house. To eliminate this, it is necessary to provide air replacement:

• cold air - warm;
• wet - dry.

To replace wet air dry, use air dehumidifiers, and install special heaters to replace cold with warm.

Repairing the walls in the pool with your own hands: photos and features of finishing the room

The pool walls should be lined with practical and moisture-resistant materials. Plastic and siding are very popular among wall decoration, which we will discuss below.

1. Siding and plastic.

In terms of their properties and characteristics, these are almost identical materials. True, one is sold in strips and sheets, but the technical indicators will remain unchanged.

These materials:

• relatively reliable and durable;
• practical because they do not require maintenance of a surface that does not absorb dirt;
• fire-resistant and moisture-resistant;
• can easily withstand significant temperature changes;
• they do not fade in the sun;
• long service life - more than 20 years.

The surface of plastic or siding can be:

• matte or glossy;
• rough or structural;
• flat, concave, convex, etc.

Attention! There are no restrictions on the use of this or that surface of plastic or siding for finishing the walls of the pool. In his choice huge role falls on the interior of the room itself.

Installation of plastic or siding when repairing walls in a pool with your own hands

For such work we offer detailed instructions. Following it initially, a sheathing is created on the surface of the walls - a kind of frame. Typically, metal, rather than wood, is used in damp rooms.

Attention! If created wooden frame, then upon completion of its installation the surface must be painted to protect it from negative impact environment.

The material is mounted using a construction stapler or self-tapping screws, which securely fasten the first sheets of siding or strips of plastic. The finishing components are fastened together using special locks located at the ends of the materials.

Attention! Each joint of a sheet or strip must be treated with a sealant, which will ensure its greater tightness.

A starting strip is installed along the top of the room, intended for installation of the material. Each of the corners is decorated using decorative plastic corners.

They are mounted after installing the material using a stapler or using liquid nails. The whole process is quite simple, and you can watch it on video.

Do-it-yourself pool wall repair: photo and choice of material

As for the cladding of the walls of the pool and its bowl, it is usually done with ceramic tiles. This type of material is most often used for finishing swimming pools.

Ceramic tiles can have different surfaces:

• glazed;
• smooth;
• polished;
• matte;
• structural;
• rough.

Attention! The pool bowl should be covered only with tiles that have a rough surface, otherwise it will slip.

Peculiarities:

• The ceramic surface is made from clay dough, which during production goes through several stages of pressing under the influence of high temperatures, after which it is fired;
• As for the glazed surface, it is obtained during firing, when glaze is applied to the prepared base. Thus, a certain pattern is obtained on the tile;
• surface design can be very different (for example, imitation brickwork, natural stones and other ornaments). There is also a wide range of colors;
• however, when using this material, it is important to consider that it can only be done on a high-quality and flat surface;
• to properties ceramic tiles refers to practicality and moisture resistance. The material has been used for 15-25 years. The tile itself does not burn and is an environmentally friendly material;
• at the same time, it is not subject to temperature changes and can withstand various chemical influences on the surface.

Lining the bottom of the pool, as well as its walls, can be done with any size of ceramic tiles. There are the following main sizes of ceramic tiles used in cladding: 20x30, 60x60, 30x30 cm.

Attention! It's easier to work with standard sizes, namely 20x30 cm. Small tiles are easily mounted on the surface.

What is required to install ceramic tiles?

Tiling the pool bowl is done by:

• special glue or cement solution;
• building level;
• small spatula;
• tile cutter;
• cross beacons;
• decorative putty.

Attention! Before work, you need to prime the surface, thereby organizing better adhesion. concrete mortar. First, the pool bowls are lined inside the structure, after which all work moves on to the walls. True, this is only if you choose ceramic tiles that have the same size. In other cases, you can start from the walls of the structure.

Finishing the pool with porcelain stoneware

This material is stronger and more practical than simple ceramic tiles, despite the fact that it is one of its subtypes. Therefore, quite often the pool is lined with porcelain stoneware. Tiles have similar types of surfaces, but are slightly more expensive.

The benefits will be identical:

• strength;
• practicality;
• fire resistance;
• moisture resistance;
• frost resistance;
• ability to withstand different temperatures (high and low).

Attention! The pool bowl is faced exclusively with porcelain stoneware tiles, which have a rough surface, while the walls can have a glazed, polished surface.

It is worth considering that when finishing a pool with porcelain tiles, it should also be located around the structure (on the floor).

The process of installing porcelain tiles

Finishing the walls in the pool using porcelain stoneware is done in exactly the same way as when using ceramic tiles.

To work you will need:

• putty knife;
• concrete mortar or glue;
• building level;
• a tile cutter with a more massive blade, since porcelain tiles are very durable and thicker.

Thanks to the installation of cross beacons, you will achieve a uniform distance between each tile during installation. After drying, decorative putty of one shade or another is applied to its surface.

Finishing the pool with PVC film

Pool finishing technologies using PVC film can vary greatly. Some mount it on metal carcass, which is subsequently treated with sealant and covered with ceramic tiles, others attach it to the surface of the walls.

Main characteristics:

• PVC film is durable and strong. It does not absorb moisture and various contaminants, and is also easy to clean with a damp rag;
• it does not melt or burn under high temperatures. She is not afraid of aggressive chemical influences. Has a huge number of surface design options;
• You will see whole sheets of this material, on which there will be imitation of brickwork or ceramic tiles, various images and drawings. All this contributes to the fact that the decoration of the walls of the pool, as well as its bowl, looked attractive;
• the cost of such finishing is not very high, which allows it to be used not just for lining the pool, but also for finishing the entire room.

Installation of PVC film

Pool lining technology using PVC film is performed using:

• building level;
• construction glue, liquid nails, self-tapping screws;
• sealant;
• a stationery knife, since the sheets are quite easily cut to the required size;
• special skirting boards for installing film;
• external and internal corners PVC finishing.

Repairing pool walls with your own hands can be done even by a non-professional, since you won’t encounter anything too complicated.

Attention! If the cladding technology involves the use of a specific frame for installing the material, then it must be profiled from metal, since wooden sheathing is afraid of moisture and can become deformed if it gets in.

Outdoor pools and their finishing options

Pools located on the street differ from indoor ones only in that they are not located indoors. The lining of an outdoor pool is not much different from an indoor one.

However, only moisture-resistant materials can be used:

• porcelain stoneware;
• PVC film;
• ceramic plate.

Quite often, such pools are lined with mosaics, the size of which is 20x20 mm, although it can be larger than 20x30 cm. Here, all the main mosaic elements are already attached to the base, through which high-quality and quick installation is done.

An original solution - painting on the walls of the pool

Wall painting is the simplest, easiest and affordable way creating an interior that promotes relaxation. And you can create the appropriate atmosphere even without the help of professional artists. After all, the pool is the best place for relax. Swimming in the water will quickly relieve tension in your body and negative thoughts. Therefore, it is important that the interior of the pool promotes peace and relaxation.

If you want to visually expand the space, we recommend that you choose wall painting or classic style that will fill the room with light. It’s good if your pool room has support columns that will stand out general background and complement the wall painting. To support the painting, a “sky” painting can be applied to the ceiling. Light clouds reflected in the water can create the complete illusion of freedom of space and the absence of a ceiling.

As a result, the result is an imitation of a terrace on the Italian coast. It seems that a few more steps and you will find yourself on the sand, which is heated by the Italian sun and plunge into the azure waters of the Adriatic or Mediterranean Sea.

In order for the entire composition to look as realistic as possible, wall painting should be done using the airbrush technique, reflecting the possibility of transitioning from tone to tone. Considering the characteristics of the room, we recommend choosing matte acrylic varnish and acrylic paints.

Outdoor pool lining one of the final stages of construction. After installing the bowl, manyhow to decorate an outdoor pool?

Waterproofing and interior finishing of the pool bowl are the most complex and important stages of self-building a pool.

When decorating an outdoor pool, it is important to consider the frost resistance of materials.The choice among facings is large enough; to make the right choice you need to know the features of the bowl and the capabilities of the material.

Refers to the simplest waterproofing coatings. You can independently stretch it over a frame pool and cover a concrete bowl. Despite its inexpensive price, PVC is a fairly durable material and is considered popular among users. main feature when choosing this material for covering an outdoor pool, it is the composition. There is a single-layer film that must be dismantled for the winter. And reinforced three-layer, can withstand high and low temperatures. In addition, the durable film has a variety of colors and the surface can be smooth or corrugated.

PVC film for finishing a pool can be purchased for 1,000 - 1,500 rubles. (Russia). The cost of the same material with patterns from imported manufacturers will cost twice as much.

• ease of installation;
• environmentally friendly material;
• ease of maintenance;
• inexpensive price;
• the possibility of laying polyvinyl chloride on top of damaged old finishing material;
• different colors and surfaces;
• durable material that can withstand temperature changes;
• does not fade in the sun.

Cons of PVC

• service life 5-7 years;
• the possibility of defects occurring in the form of small cracks after wintering;
• Do not use hard objects or strong chemicals when cleaning;

Facing and finishing an outdoor pool with tiles - This beautiful design. It will definitely become a highlight in your yard. depends on the type of tile. The most durable composition suitable for interior decoration is considered glass mosaic and porcelain. The surfaces of these tiles do not absorb water, so they survive the winter well and do not deform. It is important to choose the right waterproofing adhesive on a cement-sand basis, with the addition of latex. This mixture is able to hold the tiles perfectly and not allow water to pass through. Moreover, the glue is quite flexible, which helps reduce pressure from the water. For the same purposes, the pool tiles should be small in size.

Tiles for pool cladding can be purchased either individually or per 1 sq.m. The cost of tiles per piece varies from 65 to 590 rubles. a piece.

Advantages of tile finishing

• durability of the material;
• beautiful appearance;
• environmental friendliness;
• ease of maintenance;
• not exposed to ultraviolet rays;
• you can create a mural;
• It is convenient to use mosaics to decorate the convex and concave parts of the pool.

Disadvantages of tile finishing

• expensive price;
• If the product is not of high quality and porous, then after winter it may be covered with a mesh.

Marble or a natural stoneThis is the most expensive type of finish. Therefore, it is quite rare in design. The material is very durable, and nothing will happen to it in bitter cold. Its whimsical design creates masterpieces in the design of both the pool and the area around it. And if rubble is involved in the finishing, then it will organically fit into any landscape of a country house.

Marble finishing is an extremely expensive undertaking. The cost of one marble slab (slab) can vary from 4,015 to 31,790 rubles.

Advantages of stone coating

• durability;
• aesthetic appearance;
• environmentally friendly product;
• Mold and plaque are easily removed;
• do not be afraid of exposure to mechanical and chemical means;
• stays in in its original form more than a dozen years;
• natural stone retains heat well, which can significantly save electricity on water heating.

Disadvantages of stone coating

• expensive price;
• It is not suitable for finishing public swimming pools, as it loses its beautiful appearance due to heavy traffic.

IMPORTANT!Pools are lined with tiles large sizes or slabs. This technology allows you to get a minimum of seams at the joints.

Water-repellent plaster Maybe Finish a pool even for a person with no experience. It is superimposed on a special reinforced mesh for greater reliability. But as practice shows, plaster should not be used as an independent waterproofing material. She has many disadvantages. And it is better to use it as an additional leveling layer for finishing.

Advantages of coating with plaster

• ease of installation;
• inexpensive price;
• wide range of colors.

Disadvantages of coating with plaster

• not long service life;
• is not an independent waterproofing composition.

Cost of water-repellent plaster: from 241 to 437 rubles/pack (25 kg.)

Acrylic rubber paint is very ass a distinctive type of finishing of the pool bowl. It covers the surface of the pool in two layers, forming an excellent film that ideally protects the concrete from moisture penetration. It is pleasant to the touch. It is easy to apply and, unlike similar PVC film, it does not need to be cut if the pool bowl is not standard. It perfectly fills cracks in concrete and does not peel off over time.

Pros of rubber paint

• has high water-repellent and dirt-repellent abilities;
• ease of maintenance;
• ease of application;
• pleasant appearance;
• pleasant tactile sensations;
• profitable price;
• resistant to low and high temperatures;
• resistant to mechanical damage;
• easy to care for surface.

Cons of rubber paint

• afraid of chemical cleansing;
• Do not coat wooden surfaces.

The cost of rubber paint for swimming pools is from 260 rubles/kg.

Conclusion

Each finishing material option is good in its own way. The lining for an outdoor pool should withstand temperature changes well, last a long time and be beautiful. Therefore, when purchasing, consult with specialists and carefully read the instructions!
