We planned to repaint the walls of our old house and initially contacted a plasterer. However, his quote was quite expensive, so I decided to tackle the project myself, having done some smaller plastering jobs before. Luckily, I discovered PVC 3D wall panels. If not for these panels, we might have ended up with a less impressive decorative effect after rough plastering.
So, let’s learn about installing PVC 3D wall panels!
Initially, I was puzzled by these 3D wall art panels, having never seen or heard of them before. But after looking at some related projects with impressive decorative effects, I was convinced of their potential.
If you have an uneven wall, level it out before installing PVC wall panels to ensure it’s relatively even. It doesn’t need to look pretty, just flat enough for the panels to adhere properly.
Are These Suitable as Bathroom Wall Panels?
Yes, PVC wall panels have excellent waterproof properties and can be used as bathroom wall panels. The PVC material is highly resistant to water and will not corrode or become moldy in humid environments, making them ideal for bathrooms.
Can These Be Used as Outdoor Wall Panels?
These wall panels are not suitable for outdoor use. In outdoor environments, wall panels are subjected to prolonged exposure to wind, water, sun, heat, rain, and snow. PVC wall panels are not designed for such conditions. For outdoor use, you might consider WPC (Wood-Plastic Composite) wall panels, which are more resistant and have high environmental adaptability.
Can These Be Used as 3D Decorations for the Bedroom?
Yes, PVC wall panels are suitable for bedroom decor. They are customizable in color and surface, allowing you to create themes like Disney-style rooms or lounges with a technological touch.
Cutting Wall Molding Panels to Fit
Before installing the wall panels, you need to cut them to size. PVC wall panels are easy to cut, and the size depends on your chosen design. Use a level or straightedge and a pencil to draw your cutting line. Then, using a Stanley knife, cut along the line on the backside of the wallboard. You can also use the straightedge as a guide. Perform a test fit to ensure it fits, then secure it to the wall. The rest is just repetitive work.
Installation of Decorative Lines
Once the wall panels are installed, enhance the look with matching decorative lines and skirting. This will give the wall panel installation a perfect, finished appearance.
Ceiling Panel
If you have extra energy after completing the wall installation, consider redecorating the ceiling with PVC panels. A ceiling that matches the wall panels will create a more coordinated look for your room.
