What is Wall Panelling?
Traditionally, wall panels were used as insulation between stone walls and the room. Today, wall panelling is installed to add an aesthetic appeal to a room. Along with all the appeal, it also prevents wall damage, hides unsightly electrical cables and provides structural support.
Wall panelling can be installed in two ways:
· By screwing panels onto the wall. This is applicable for straight, smooth wall surfaces and lightweight panels.
· By installing a metal grid frame on the wall and then skewing the panels onto the grid.
Tips to Maintain Wall Panelling
· Dust the wall panels regularly using a feather duster or a dry, lint-free cloth. You can also vacuum-clean it once every few weeks.
· Ensure that the panelled walls are away from direct sunlight. Fabric, patterned paper and laminate can fade with exposure to sunlight. If it happens to be a room with a lot of direct sunlight, install thick day curtains or drapes.
· Clean off splatters and spills with a soft cloth and mild soapy water, don’t let the stain stay for long. Don’t let alkali-based cleaning liquids or heavy-duty solvents sit for too long on wood panels.
· Metal wall panels should be annually inspected to remove debris and inspect joints. Don’t forget to replace any damaged panels or trims timely.
