3D wall panels are a type of decorative wall material with three-dimensional surface patterns and rectangular shape. They’re used to cover walls, making up visible or exposed wall surfaces. Designed for decorative and functional use, wall panels offer soundproofing and insulation, atop giving a uniform appearance.
Wall panels are built for durability and ease of installation and replacement. Although they’re available in varied sizes, the maximum dimension for commercially available panels is 2700mm x 600mm to enable easy transportation.
Designed to eliminate the need for adding a finishing material on walls or applying paint, 3D wall panels give a consistent appearance and reduce costs of construction. The panels are usually finished on a single side only because they’re often installed on concrete walls or bricks with rough surfaces.
The panels can also be assembled to a proper framework for use as walls. It’s possible to drill holes into 3D wall panels for wiring and installation of electrical outlets. The versatile panels can be made from different materials for installation in residential or commercial (shopping centers, hotels, retail space, offices, hospitality) buildings.
Decorative Wall Panels for Interior and Exterior Decoration
The decorative panels are made in various textures, designs, patterns carved into their surfaces and finishes, to meet varying customer needs. They make perfect interior design ideas and can be used as feature walls to relay a great impact in the appearance and feel of an interior or exterior space.
If used as feature walls, the wall panels act as a central focal point for guiding the rest of interior or exterior décor, or drawing guests’ attention. 3D wall panels used outdoors have waterproof properties.
The wall panels don’t just convert ordinary walls into dramatic surfaces with spectacular looks, but also save on thousands of dollars. The 3D panels are used on furniture such as small cabinets and doors used in entertainment areas such as bars. They also make spectacular bed heads and reception desk fronts.
They also find use as media/TV dividers, artworks and retail fit outs. The 3D panels add an extra dimension to walls, furniture, ceilings, fireplaces, etc.
