When building a house, we usually need to complete the water and electricity laying before starting interior decoration. Interior decoration projects include the important step of wall panel decoration. In the past, we usually applied a layer of putty after applying cement on the wall or used wallpaper, tiles, etc. to enrich the wall decoration elements further and make the wall more visually beautiful.
With the diversification of decorative elements, new Wainscotings have emerged in recent years, which are more advantageous in practicality and decorative performance. They have many advantages such as beautiful and fashionable, humidity regulation, sound insulation, heat insulation, wear resistance, impact resistance, etc., and have gradually become an ideal substitute for traditional wall decoration materials.
Wainscoting is a material used for interior wall decoration and protection, usually installed on the lower half of the wall or the entire wall. It can beautify the space and effectively protect the wall from collision, wear, or moisture.
Wainscoting can be made of various materials, such as wood, plastic, composite materials, etc. They have different styles and colors to choose from, suitable for various styles of interior decoration.
There are many types of wall panels, including solid wood, artificial boards, stone plastic boards, bamboo fiber wall panels, etc. Each material has its advantages.
Solid wood wall panels are generally made of complete wood (logs). Solid wood wall panels are more wear-resistant than artificial wall panels, are environmentally friendly, have clear textures, and have better decorative effects, but the cost will be relatively higher.
Artificial board is a type of board made by processing and pressing wood fiber, wood chips, or other wood byproducts.
Common artificial boards include density board (medium fiberboard), particle board, plywood, ecological board, etc.
The board is made by adding adhesive and pressing at high temperatures. It has the characteristics of stable size, good processing performance, and low cost.
The artificial board has uniform material, convenient processing, and high utilization efficiency. It is widely used in furniture manufacturing, interior decoration, construction engineering, etc.
Stone plastic board is a composite board made of stone powder and PVC resin pressed at high temperatures.
Stone plastic board uses stone powder as the main material, and has the characteristics of waterproof, fireproof, mildew-proof, wear-resistant, impact-resistant, environmentally friendly, and does not contain harmful substances such as formaldehyde.
Stone plastic board material has a stable structure and high strength, and is often used for floor or wall decoration.
Bamboo fiber wallboard is an environmentally friendly building material made of bamboo powder, wood powder, polymer materials, and other additives pressed at high temperatures.
Most of them adopt porous hollow structure, good flexibility, strong impact resistance, lower heat and sound transmission effect than solid wallboard, and can play a good role in sound insulation and heat preservation.
This wallboard can be customized in a variety of appearances. Such as wood grain, marble grain, metal grain, leather grain, cloth grain, leather grain, diatom mud grain, etc.
It has the advantages of being waterproof, moisture-proof, sound insulation, heat preservation, easy to install and clean, and is usually used for indoor wall and ceiling decoration.
The design and application of whole walls are usually only suitable for spacious spaces. For example, our TV background wall, bedroom bedside wall, sofa wall, indoor corridor, and other areas.
The design style of the whole wall needs to be coordinated with other elements in the room, such as home furnishings, floors, ceilings, etc.
A complete set of whole wall designs includes several parts. They are molding veneer, top line, and skirting.
Dados, or half-height wall panels, are located at the bottom of the wall with a waistline in the middle.
There are multiple benefits to using wainscoting as a dado. They beautify the space, protect the wall, prevent furniture collisions, and facilitate cleaning. In addition, it can hide architectural defects and make interior decoration more visually attractive.
They are generally used in public areas such as corridors and stairs, and their shape and height are uniform.
Using frame design to decorate the background wall and making some relief on its edge can create a European style with a complex shape and light luxury concept.
The combination of wainscoting and invisible doors is a clever design idea that can achieve seamless integration of walls and doors, making the overall sense of space stronger.
This design uses the uniformity of wall panel materials and door panels to visually integrate doors and wall panels, achieving the effect of hidden doors, which neither destroys the continuity of the wall nor maintains the simplicity of the space.
Usually, this design is suitable for places that need to hide private spaces or maintain design continuity, combining beauty and functionality while enhancing the sense of luxury in the room.
The design scheme combining wainscoting and custom cabinets can make the wall and storage space present a unified image visually.
The wainscoting extends to the cabinets, making the cabinets and walls integrated, visually more neat, and unified, increasing the storage function while maintaining the overall beauty of the interior.
This design can hide the storage cabinets and avoid the cabinets being abrupt, which is suitable for modern minimalist style spaces. The unity of the material and color of the wall panels and custom cabinets can enhance the texture and practicality of the space.
The design of combining wall panels with ceilings can visually unify the upper and lower parts of the space and create a more harmonious overall feeling.
Extending the wall panels to the ceiling area, or even designing similar shapes or lines on the top surface, can increase the sense of layering in the space and make the transition between the wall and the ceiling smoother and more natural.
This design concept can enhance the texture of the space and create an interior decoration style with unified materials and colors.
Wooden wainscots can absorb most ultraviolet rays and have a strong adsorption effect on radiation, which can improve the quality of the home environment. In addition, wood can scatter light, which helps reduce eye fatigue and damage.
The sound insulation effect of high-quality wall panels reaches 29 decibels, which is equivalent to the sound insulation effect of most solid walls. It can absorb sound well, reduce the impact of external noise, and create a comfortable sleeping environment.
It has high wear-resistant and impact-resistant performance, which is far better than common indoor wall paint and wallpaper.
wainscoting can protect the wall surface and is suitable for decoration of home TV background walls, sofa background walls, restaurant background walls, bedside background walls, and other areas.
The wainscotings are made of environmentally friendly materials and have no obvious odor. If the core layer of the artificial board is bonded with highly environmentally friendly glue, the release of odor usually meets environmental standards.
The wainscotings have various styles and finishes and can be made into various arcs and carved patterns, adding rich decorative elements to the interior.
Wall panels with smooth surfaces are easier to clean and maintain, providing more convenience for daily household cleaning.
The prices of wall panels made of different materials vary, but compared with traditional wall decoration materials such as wallpaper and latex paint, it is still a good choice.
Wooden wainscoting usually requires high maintenance costs, such as regular painting and waterproofing.
Wainscotings are usually large and will occupy a certain wall area after installation, making small-sized rooms look crowded. In addition, the wall panels need to match the overall decoration style of the room, otherwise it will affect the aesthetics of the space.
The wainscotings are tightly spliced, without obvious gaps, forming an overall consistent visual effect. This splicing method ensures a seamless connection between panels through precise processing and installation technology, making the wall look more complete, smooth, and more integrated.
The tight splicing design is suitable for simple and modern style spaces, which can effectively reduce the complexity of wall decoration, enhance the high-end texture and beauty of the space, and is easy to clean and maintain.
U-shaped or V-shaped grooves are designed between the joints of the wainscotings to give the wall panels a sense of layering and three-dimensionality.
Joints are not only decorative, but can also create various visual effects according to different design styles, and can also enhance the structural sense of the wall.
U-shaped gaps are more rounded and suitable for soft design styles; V-shaped gaps are sharper and simpler, suitable for modern or minimalist styles. This splicing method can also effectively hide subtle board shrinkage or deformation problems.
Wainscotings can also create unique visual effects by combining with other materials such as metal, marble, soft package, hard package, latex paint, or wallpaper.
Splicing different materials can enrich the wall layer and make the whole space more textured. For example, the cold and hard feeling of metal contrasts with the warm wood of wall panels. Soft or hard packages can enhance the comfort and luxury of the space. The combination of latex paint and wallpaper makes the lines of the wall panels more prominent.
Wainscotings are a kind of wall material that combines decorative and functional features and are widely used in interior decoration.
It can not only effectively enhance the beauty of the space, but also protect the wall surface from damage or stains.
Wainscotings have a variety of materials and surface treatments, which can be matched with a variety of styles, suitable for different decoration needs such as modern, light luxury, and simple.
