How to Choose Suitable WPC Wall Panels?

I. With so many different types of WPC wall panels, what aspects can we consider and choose from?

WPC interior wall panels are a very popular wall decoration material in recent years. WPC wall panel design can also be customized according to customer needs. The application range of WPC cladding panels is also very wide, whether it is home decoration, tooling or commercial space, so are you still confused about the choice of the interior WPC wall panel? George Panel, a well-known WPC wall panel manufacturer in China, will provide you with some suggestions for choosing wall panels, hoping to help you!

1. How to choose the suitable WPC composite boards?

Considerations for home style

If the style of your home is biased towards the simple Japanese style, you can choose WPC composite boards with light-colored wood grain and light-colored cloth grain, and the texture of the WPC wall panel is very good. The wood texture is fresh and natural, which can make people feel very warm and relaxed and make the whole space more natural.

If the style of your home is biased towards the European pastoral retro style, you can choose dark wood grain and other WPC composite boards that are more inclined to dark colors, and you can also choose patterned WPC wall panels for mixing and matching. It will be more European style. Anyway, no matter what style your home is, it is best to keep the color and texture of the WPC wall panels to match the decoration style, so as to maintain the overall coordination and maximize the effectiveness of WPC interior wall cladding.

Considerations for Layout design

(1) Overall paving

Replacing traditional painted walls with WPC composite boards is the most common layout. The WPC composite boards covering the walls seem to connect all the spaces in a special way, so smooth and simple, revealing its best side invisibly.

(2) Partial composition

When covering the wall limits the design possibilities, try the design thinking of partial composition. The design method focuses on embellishment aesthetics. Selecting a suitable wall space, outlining the desired shape and laying the WPC composite boards is the complete context of the partial composition. This kind of design makes the WPC composite boards escape the protagonist. The WPC wall panel design has become a transitional existence, not dominant or publicized. Although it is a supporting role, it still has its own charm to show.

Precautions :

– The overall pavement pays attention to the composition of unity. Therefore, in the design process, it is necessary to clarify the style, texture and color of the WPC composite boards based on the overall design style. It can avoid the misalignment of style in the later stage.

– Although partial laying is a transitional design, it does not mean that it can be assembled at will. Its lying position, shape, color, etc. need to be planned and matched to ensure the best presentation of the overall effect after the WPC composite boards are installed.

Identify if the quality is good enough

(1) Flatness of WPC composite boards

When you are buying WPC composite boards, you must pay attention to the flatness of the WPC wall panel. If the surface is not flat, or the color difference is very large, you better not to choose it. From this point, it also shows that the craftsmanship of this brand is not enough, for example, the corners are not neat or the degree of viscose is not up to standard. But as a WPC wall panel manufacturer, we have the mature craftsmanship and experience in making WPC composite boards, and we are worthy of your trust.

(2) Adhesion of WPC composite boards

First of all, the laminate on the surface should be attached to the base material. The color difference of the same style of WPC composite boards should not be too obvious. For example, degumming and delamination of the panel will not work. At the same time, the board with moisture content between 8%~12% can be selected to prevent cracking and warping.

(3) Thickness of WPC composite boards

Generally speaking, the thicker the WPC composite boards, the better. Especially the laminate of the WPC composite board. The thicker it is, the more natural it will be. The wood grain, stone and cloth texture will be very clear, natural, and it will look more upscale.

2.How to choose high-quality WPC acoustic panels?

(1) Whether there is a test report for the performance of the WPC sound-absorbing panel

All WPC acoustic panels should have an official test report indicating the sound insulation effect of the wall composed of the WPC sound-absorbing panel. If a WPC soundproof panel advertises its sound insulation performance, but cannot provide a formal test report, you must be careful.

Secondly, pay attention to whether the WPC acoustic panels sold by the manufacturer and the samples submitted for inspection are the same product. If the samples submitted for inspection are thickened, heavier, made of different materials or specially treated, and the samples actually sold are different products, the products sold will obviously not reach the sound insulation value indicated in the test report. From this aspect, you should pay attention to distinguish the qualifications, credit and goodwill of manufacturers, and avoid being deceived as much as possible.

(2) Whether the installation method of WPC acoustic panels is simple

In order to achieve a good sound insulation effect, the installation method of the WPC sound-absorbing panel must be very simple, otherwise it will be difficult to achieve the ideal sound insulation effect. The installation of WPC soundproof panels must be simple, otherwise the installation personnel on site are prone to mistakes, resulting in the sound insulation value of the wall not reaching the sound insulation target.

(3) Whether the strength, waterproof and fire resistance of the WPC sound-absorbing panel are good enough

When choosing WPC sound-absorbing panels, you must also pay attention to other properties of the wall to achieve the best effect.

For example, whether the strength after installing the WPC sound-absorbing panel meets the requirements, if you want to hang heavier objects on the attractive wall panel, such as flat-screen TVs, large oil paintings or photo frames, large decorative lights, etc. The WPC acoustic panels need to have a certain strength. Make sure it can hold a certain amount of weight.

If there are many people in the room or the flow of people is large, the WPC sound-absorbing panel needs to have strong impact resistance and high strength, so as to prevent people from hitting the wall panel and causing the wall to crack.

If the wall panel is close to damp parts such as faucets and toilets, the WPC sound-absorbing panel needs to have good waterproof performance.

If the wall requires high fire resistance, such as the wall and ceiling of the kitchen and garage, etc., it is necessary to buy WPC acoustic panels that are both soundproof and fire-resistant.

(4) Whether the thickness and weight of the WPC acoustic panel are too large

There are some ordinary sound-absorbing panels on the market. In order to improve the sound insulation effect, the thickness and weight of the wall panels are increased. Although this method can improve the sound insulation effect to a certain extent, the sound insulation efficiency is not high, because according to the laws of physics.

If the surface density of the board is doubled, the sound insulation can only increase by a maximum of 6 decibels in theory, and the surface density of the wall board can be increased by four times, and the sound insulation can only increase by a maximum of 12 decibels.

3. How to choose high-quality fiber cement boards?

(1) Appearance

a. Fiber Cement fiberboard should have a uniform thickness, and the board surface should be flat and smooth, without stains, water stains and sticky marks.

b. The surrounding surface of the fiber cement board is fine, strong and free of burrs.

(2) Quality

a. Pay attention to the expansion rate of water absorption thickness. If it is not qualified, the fiber cement board will be deformed or even loosened by moisture during use, which will weaken its ability to resist moisture deformation.

b. It is used to strike the board surface, the sound is crisp and pleasant, and the uniform fiber cement board is of better quality. If the sound is dull, there may be a loose glue problem.

c. Find a nail and screw it on the fiber cement board a few times to see how well it holds the screw. If the screw holding force is not good, there will be structural loosening and other phenomena during use.

d. Take a sample of fiber cement board and break it with your hands or step on it with your feet to test the bearing capacity and resistance to deformation of the fiber cement board.

(3) Environmental health

Note that the amount of formaldehyde released exceeds the standard. The adhesive commonly used in the production of fiber cement board is produced from formaldehyde as raw material, and there will always be residual free formaldehyde in this adhesive, which is the main source of formaldehyde released in  fiber cement board products. Formaldehyde is highly irritating to human mucous membranes, especially the respiratory system, and will affect human health.

4. How to choose high-quality WPC wall panels?

(1) Odor

When you are choosing WPC wall panels, you can close your nose to the panel and smell it. If you smell the fragrance of bamboo and wood, it is genuine. When it is ignited, there is no open flame, and there is a smell of bamboo, wood, resin, etc., and it is also a genuine product. If it has an obvious plastic stench, it is an inferior counterfeit product.

(2) Appearance and Color

High-quality WPC wall panels have a beige color performance, which is biased towards the color of bamboo and wood. There are no black spots or particles at the incision. If the color is dark or there are spots, it may be made from recycled materials, or there is a problem with the formula, which is not environmentally friendly and not durable. If the color is white, it means that too much calcium powder is added, and the toughness of the plate is not enough.

In addition, it also depends on the thickness and structure. The thickness is generally 10mm. The version structure adopts grooves combined with soundproof holes, and has co-extrusion edges. When splicing, it presents a V-shaped groove.

(3) Weight

When you are choosing a WPC interior wall panel, you can weigh it by hand, if it is too light, it will be seriously foamed. If it is too heavy, too much calcium powder is added. Take a 3-meter-long plate and try to bend it. If it can be greatly bent, it means that the toughness and quality are up to the standard, and the inferior plate will be too brittle and broken. In addition, see if the panel installation in the exhibition hall can make a 90-degree angle. High-quality plates can be folded 90 degrees, and inferior plates will crack when they are folded 90 degrees.

(4) Quality inspection certificate

When you are choosing WPC wall panelings, you can also ask the manufacturer to see if there are product-related certificates, production licenses, patent certificates, and product quality inspection certificates. Whether these documents are issued by a national authority. At the same time, ask the other party whether the after-sale warranty method, after-sale time and after-sale scope are indicated in writing in the contract.

II. Why choose WPC wall panels as wall decoration materials?
