The Basics of Wall Paneling

It can be noted that walls have a wide range of colors and styles. Part of it is because of their panels which are traditionally a flat wood piece that is cut into a rectangular shape. A wall paneling serves as a visible and covering for a wall, whilst serving as an accent for your interiors. In this post, the custom home builders of J Bryant Boyd Architect Design-Build will enlighten you more about this. 

It can be noted that wall paneling is designed to provide a level of insulation and soundproofing combined with uniformity of appearance. It can also be used in the replacement of tiles or wallpapers to conceal minor flaws in the walls, such as cracks. Moreover, there are various types of panels, and here are some of them:

1. Beadboards: traditional and vertically grooved panels.

2. Board and batten: wide vertical molding boards.

3. Flat paneling: smooth modern panels.

4. Raised panels: timeless, deeply beveled squares.

5. Shiplap: long, horizontal boards of panels overlapping each other.

6. Wainscoting: wood paneling on the lower one-half to one-third of a wall.

As mentioned by most design-build firms, this material is equipped to resist moisture that can form mold and rot. With the correct wall panel installation, you will be able to prevent your walls from sustaining water-related damage whilst contributing to the interiors of your home.

This feature also allows you to improve or increase your property’s value. So, if you’re planning to put your house on sale in the future, invest in wall paneling and it’ll surely help you over time.
