Effective Installation Techniques For Textured Wall Paneling

Apr 16, 2024

Textured wall paneling, a cornerstone of bespoke woodwork, can significantly enhance the aesthetics of a space with its design and high-quality finish. However, a frequent challenge in the industry is the discrepancy between the expected and actual outcomes of finished projects. This issue often stems not from the design's inadequacy but from deficiencies in the installation process.

This is a widely acknowledged issue within the interior wall paneling customization industry, encapsulated by the saying, "Seven parts depend on the product, three parts on the installation." This highlights the importance of not only the product quality but also the installation precision.

Traditional Installation Methods

Commonly employed methods in the decorative interior wall paneling industry include:

Full Wood Base

This traditional method involves constructing a wooden base on the wall and attaching the paneling with air nails or screws. While this method allows for relatively easy leveling, it often leads to problems like excessive formaldehyde emissions from treated logs, posing safety hazards.

Wooden Hanging Board

This method involves hanging a wooden board directly on the wall and then attaching the paneling. It uses less primer material than the full wood base method, making it more eco-friendly but still challenging to adjust and achieve desired flatness.

Direct Paste

The simplest method involves directly gluing the panel to the wall with styrofoam or other adhesives. This method is quick but offers the least environmental friendliness and can be quite inconvenient for modifications.

Each of these methods has drawbacks, such as potential environmental harm, suboptimal flatness, and decay risk, which could compromise the overall quality and aesthetic of the installation.

Improved Installation Solutions

Using WPC or PVC Interior Wall Paneling

To mitigate the issues associated with traditional wood paneling, WPC (Wood Plastic Composite) or PVC paneling can be used. These materials do not contain harmful chemicals like formaldehyde, making them safer and more environmentally friendly. They also offer customizable textures to meet various design preferences.

WPC Wood Plastic Keel

For better installation, using a matching WPC keel can help address leveling issues. The keel is installed first on the wall, followed by the paneling. This method not only improves air circulation behind the paneling, reducing environmental and decay risks, but also enhances the wall's flatness.

The unique snap structure of WPC paneling allows for concealed fixings, which enhances the visual appeal of the panels, ensuring a more refined and high-quality 'home' aesthetic.
