What Is a Wall Panel, How Is It Installed and What Decorative Effect Does It Create?
Wall panels are becoming increasingly popular because they can be both functional — contributing to insulation — and highly decorative. Would you like to learn how these panels can be used and what they can offer?
What are the characteristics of a wall panel?
By contributing to thermal, moisture and acoustic insulation, wall panels can help create a calmer and quieter home. They are not easily affected by water or moisture, help reduce damp-related issues and can remain in use for many years thanks to their durability. They can also discourage bacterial growth and require relatively little maintenance.
How is a wall panel installed?
Panels are installed using a screw-fixing method.
What do wall panels cost?
Prices vary according to the characteristics of the selected panel and the total square metres to be covered.
What decorative effect can they create?
With panel options that can be adapted to many different styles, you can give your interior a stronger identity and create an unexpected visual effect. A brick wall panel in a living room can produce a rustic character. Panels can also help a room feel larger and create a greater sense of depth.
1. Brick-patterned panel
With a realistic brick pattern, these panels can give a home a very different decorative character. Rustic panels can be made with brick formats that feel handmade or more contemporary, allowing you to develop the interior style you prefer.
2. Natural-stone-look panel
Options range from marble patterns and mosaics to designs inspired by medieval architecture. Quartz-look stone panels can create a distinctive wall treatment, while flatter textures can provide a more restrained appearance. If, for example, your interior has an avant-garde character, lighting a stone-patterned panel can intensify its effect. Whatever the style of your home, it is usually possible to find a stone wall panel model that fits the decoration.
3. A warm atmosphere with timber patterns
Wood wall panel installation can be used to bring warmth into an interior. Whether you choose a single tone or a composition made from several colours, timber panels can add both style and warmth. They are also a strong choice for introducing rustic, country or Asian-inspired decorative themes.
