Wall paneling can be one of the most luxurious features in
any interior or exterior design. But, there are a lot of things that you may
have to take into consideration when you decide about the paneling. The
material, color of that material, and overall pattern are a few in this regard.
Nevertheless, working on these few things can prove to be extremely difficult.
Another option to consider paneling the walls is to go for
faux wall panels. For those who do not know about faux panels, these are the
textured polyurethane panels which resemble stone, brick or wood panels
installed on the walls. In the past, there had been issues with these panels
due to which people used to consider it a low quality option. But, the
emergence of new technologies and inclusion of high quality elements in
composition have allowed the manufacturers to make faux paneling a preferable
alternate to traditional paneling.
While you may know about the features of regular brick or
stone panels, it would be worth describing the ones related to faux panels.
With this information in mind, you can go for the option you can consider best
according to your requirements.
Affordability
It’s great to have the panels made of original bricks or
stones installed on the interior and exterior walls. But what about that small
area for which you do not want to employ the whole set of supplies but you
equally consider that area to be worthy to receive such decorative treatment?
Well, this is where you can go for faux stone panels because these panels are
highly affordable as compared to traditional stones, wood panels, and bricks.
Furthermore, you can also save costs which would get spent while acquiring
grout, mortar, and most importantly the labor for wall paneling.
Another factor which adds into the affordability is the
convenience in the installation of faux panels. Simple caulking and application
of adhesive followed by hammering of some nails is all what you need to install
the Faux Stone Panels. Surely you don’t want to hire labor for this simple
work.
Versatility
Ease of application along with cost effectiveness allows you
to try as many options as you could. When you apply traditional stones and
bricks, you have limited options because you have to hire labor for it and the
costs could go out of your hands if you consider doing anything extra. On the
other hand, there are a lot of designs and patterns available in faux panels.
You can use a single pattern or you can mix up things to form a complex overall
design. And the good news is that you won’t need any professional help. Just
simple measurements could be enough for you to find the design of your desire.
