The UV wall panel is a profile with a UV protection function on the surface. UV paint is ultraviolet light-curing paint, also known as light-initiated paint. It is made by brushing UV paint on particleboard, density board, and other boards, and then drying it with a UV light curing machine.
It is easy to process and can be industrialized. It has bright colors, wear resistance, strong chemical resistance, long service life, high requirements for mechanical equipment and process technology, and has the characteristics of moisture resistance and deformation resistance. The primer uses solvent-free 4E green high-end paint, which is non-volatile, non-toxic, and environmentally friendly; after curing, it has a high gloss and antibacterial effect, making it an ideal decorative board.
1. High surface smoothness
The mirror-like highlight effect is obvious.
2. Full paint film
UV wallboards are rich in color and have strong visual appeal.
3. Environmental protection and health
Usually, the paint of the painted board is not good, and volatile substances (VOC) are continuously released. UV boards solve environmental protection problems.
UV wallboards themselves do not contain volatile substances such as benzene. After UV curing, a dense cured film is formed to reduce the release of substrate gas.
4. No fading
Comparative experiments have shown that UV decorative boards have better physical and chemical properties than traditional boards, ensuring that UV boards do not fade for a long time and solve the color difference phenomenon.
5. Scratch resistance
High hardness, brighter after polishing, and no deformation for a long time at room temperature.
6. Acid and alkali corrosion resistance
UV boards can resist corrosion from various acid and alkali disinfectants.
The reason why UV boards have the above characteristics is that the paint reacts chemically with ultraviolet rays to form a dense protective film. The distance between the molecules of this dense protective film is very small, which is smaller than the distance between water molecules and acetic acid molecules, so it has the effect of waterproofing and anti-fouling. However, white UV panels tend to turn yellow under sunlight, and there is currently no good process to improve this problem.
According to the production process, they can be divided into painted UV boards, metal UV boards, laminated UV boards, glass UV boards, embossed UV boards, spray-painted UV boards, and diamond-shaped UV boards.

PVC wall panels are also known as ecological art walls, quick-install wall panels, etc. This product uses PVC as raw material and is a new type of wall decoration material made through surface film technology.
At present, PVC wall panels are gradually replacing traditional wall-building materials. The appearance of wall panels can be shaped in a variety of ways. The most common way is to use decorative technologies such as film and 3D printing. The connection methods of PVC wall panels can be divided into V-shaped seams and flat seams. The back of the wall panels is designed with flat plates and anti-slip grooves. The wall panels on the market have widths of 30cm, 40㎝, and 60㎝.
PVC wall panel has the same processability as logs. It can be nailed, sawed, cut, and drilled. You only need to use nails or bolts to fix the wallboard. The surface texture is very smooth and no paint spraying is required.
In addition, compared with logs, a wallboard has more physical advantages and good stability. In daily use, it is not easy to crack, warp, diagonal lines, etc. Colorants can be added according to consumer needs, and wallboard products with different colors can be processed, but regular maintenance is required.
Due to its characteristics, PVC wall panels are extremely resistant to water and have good fire resistance. At the same time, PVC wall panels are also green, environmentally friendly, and corrosion-resistant. In the daily maintenance process, there is no need for excessive maintenance.
The appearance and texture of PVC wall panels are very similar to those of solid wood, but compared with plastic wall materials, they are harder and last longer. In addition, the weight of the wall panels is light, which is convenient for construction workers to transport and install, and they also have a certain wear resistance, making the wall panels suitable for many space walls.
PVC wall panels have many patterns and rich colors, giving consumers more choices. Wall panels are very easy to install. After the entire wall is decorated, the decoration taste is instantly improved. They are widely used in indoor walls, such as entertainment venues, conference centers, etc. Among plastic wall materials, they are the most widely used products.
Flame retardant materials are added to PVC wall panels during the production process, which makes the product have excellent fire resistance and can be extinguished immediately after burning, which improves safety. At the same time, it is also very convenient to clean. Just wipe it with a rag and the stains can be removed, which makes consumers more worry-free.
Compared | PVC wall panels | UV wall panels |
Material | Mainly made of polyvinyl chloride (PVC), it is durable, lightweight and waterproof. | It is usually a kind of wallboard that has been cured by ultraviolet (UV) light on the surface of a substrate (such as density board, gypsum board, or PVC board) and coated with a UV coating. |
Surface treatment | The surface treatment is relatively simple, usually using embossing or printing techniques to imitate a variety of textures and colors. | The surface is treated with UV coating to form a high-gloss, wear-resistant coating with better gloss and surface hardness. |
Performance | It is waterproof, moisture-proof, and corrosion-resistant, and is suitable for use in humid environments such as bathrooms and kitchens. It is relatively soft and has weak scratch resistance. | The surface coating has been UV cured and has the characteristics of high gloss, wear resistance, scratch resistance, and pollution resistance, making cleaning and maintenance more convenient. |
Application | Suitable for decoration of indoor walls and ceilings, especially in areas that require waterproofing and moisture-proofing, such as bathrooms, kitchens, and basements. | It is suitable for areas that require high gloss and high wear resistance, such as living rooms, bedrooms, offices, shopping malls, etc. and is especially suitable for high-end decoration needs. |
Appearance and texture | The texture has a variety of appearances and can imitate wood grain, stone grain, wallpaper, etc., but the glossiness and surface hardness are lower. | The surface is smooth and flat, with high gloss, high-end texture, better decorative effect, and can present a mirror effect and rich colors. |
The above is the performance and characteristics analysis of UV wall panels and PVC wall panels. Which one is better?
You may not be able to give an absolute answer, so you need to analyze it according to the specific use environment, durability requirements, your project budget, and decorative requirements to make the right choice.
In addition, you also need to consider your personal preferences and interior decoration style.
1. Consider environmental conditions
If it is a humid environment (such as the bathroom, or kitchen), PVC wall panels are the first choice; if it is a dry environment, pursuing high-end decorative effects, UV wall panels are the first choice.
2. Consider durability requirements
UV wall panels are a better choice for places that require high wear and scratch resistance. Such as public areas or commercial spaces with high traffic.
3. Consider the budget
If your project has a limited budget and needs an affordable solution, PVC wall panels are an ideal choice; if the budget allows and you pursue a high-end decorative effect, you can choose UV wall panels.
4. Consider aesthetics
If you have high requirements for decorative effects and glossiness, the high gloss and rich texture of UV wall panels will better meet your needs.
To sum up, choosing between UV wall panels and PVC wall panels depends on a variety of factors. UV wall panels are known for their smooth surface and are available in a variety of designs. PVC wall panels are a cost-effective solution and can be obtained in various simulated wood grain and marble looks. They are durable and easy to clean.
