But wait, the DIY projects don’t have to fail. If you have
included it in your resolutions to work on the renovations in order to save
costs and to improve your skills, you deserve the convenience. Well, the good
news is that such convenience is available if you really want to avail it. You
can go for faux wall panels. Faux wall panels are polyurethane-made panels
which are textured and colored to mimic the outlook of original stones and
bricks.
Having that said, you may have some questions in mind about
faux panels. Let’s answer those common questions.
How are these panels
installed?
When it comes to installing these panels, you don’t need
anything extravagant for it. You will just need screws, adhesive and caulking
material for it. If you compare it with the application of authentic material
as panels, you will find out that this method is many times easier than
conventional methods.
Common usage
While you can use faux wall panels for any kind of wall decoration but it is ideally used for decorating accent walls. As a matter of
fact, it would be pretty good to look at if you have installed these panels
only on the small area in order to bring a valuable contrast. Installing these
panels on entire walls can also be suitable in certain conditions but it’s not
the ideal way whether you use faux panels or the ones made of authentic
materials.
Durability
With a fact in mind that faux stone panels are made of
polyurethane, you may tend to wonder about the durability of these panels.
Well, the matter of fact is that faux wall panels are highly durable because
they are flexible and highly resistant to extreme temperatures. Now, it’s the
fact that these panels may lose their beauty and function after 8 – 10 years if
you install them on the exterior walls, but these panels are definitely going
to stay for a long time if you install them on the interior walls.
