Architectural Wall Panels



Wall paneling is an architectural element often installed in residential or commercial buildings. Decorative wall paneling is installed over walls to add aesthetic appeal, while other types of paneling may be added for their functional or structural characteristics. Many paneling varieties are available at home improvement and hardware stores while others may be purchased from specialty distributors.

Wall paneling is a popular and trendy type of wall finish that has recently been taking over other types of wall finish such as wallpapering, painting, and cladding with tiles. There are many reasons for this, ranging from durability to hygiene and cost. Wall panels can be cheaper than wallpaper, and high quality paint or tiles. Another advantage of wall paneling is being able to conceal flaws and unsightly features such as cables and exposed wiring, while this is not possible with wallpapering, painting, or cladding with tiles.

Medium-density fiberboard -
Medium-density fiberboard or MDF is a type of composite wood product made by binding small wood fibers together with resin under extreme heat and pressure. The main advantage of using MDF is that it is cheap, and it can be made to look like wood by staining it.

Decorative Wall Panels -

Utility Paneling -
Utility paneling, often called pegboard, is made from perforated hardboard and is used for its function and appearance. These panels contain rows of small holes that can be used to hang objects from nails or pegs.

Acoustical Panels -
Acoustical panels are used to control noise levels in a space and to block noise transfer through walls. They're made from foam or wood cores wrapped with a layer of vinyl or fabric. The panels help absorb sound and are commonly used n schools, auditoriums and hotels.

Structural Wall Panels -

Dyes VS. Stains : What is better concrete dye or stain?

Using Dyes On Concrete ? What Are They, And How Do They Differ From Chemical Stains ? What is better concrete dye or stain? Dyes are the latest buzz in the decorative concrete community.  Their ease of use, extensive palette, and vibrancy of color (which can be more intense than chemical stains) are creating a wave of popularity that is gaining momentum. Unlike stains, which react chemically with the calcium hydroxide in concrete, dyes are nonreactive and impart color by penetrating concrete or other porous cementitious surfaces.  Dyes are much smaller in particle size than chemical stains or acrylic stains, thus allowing for easier penetration and color saturation while leaving less residue on the surface.  A good analogy for comparing the color intensity and penetration of dyes to stains is that you can fit a lot more marbles than bowling balls into the same size container.  The small dye particles fill the pores of the concrete and are ...

Acoustic Panel

Acoustic panels are used to reduce noise and control sound in many different spaces. They come in a large variety of sizes, types and colors to meet your design, budgetary, and durability requirements. An acoustic board is a special kind of board made of sound absorbing materials. Its job is to provide sound insulation. Between two outer walls sound absorbing material is inserted and the wall is porous. Thus, when sound passes through an acoustic board, the intensity of sound is decreased. The loss of sound energy is balanced by producing heat energy.
