Plastic Panels
WHAT IS PLASTIC SHEET?
Plastic panels are indoor wall and ceiling panels made of plastics (eg PVC plastic, PS plastic, Composite plastic). They are lightweight and water resistant so they are easy to apply and clean. The lifespan of plastic wall panels can be up to 20 years if used and constructed properly.
Plastic wall panels can imitate wood, imitation stone, imitation cement, etc. thanks to the decorative film layer. However, this film can discolor due to UV rays, so exposure to direct sunlight should be avoided.
"Plastic cladding that simulates wood and stone has become increasingly popular in recent years due to its affordable price, high durability and ease of maintenance. These panels provide a realistic and aesthetically pleasing alternative to traditional materials, making them a desirable choice for both residential and commercial applications..” – According to Dr. Sarah Williams, Professor of Interior Design at the University of California, Berkeley.

- Absolutely waterproof.
- Anti termite and insect.
- Easy cleaning
- Fast construction
- Durable
- Rich designs
- Variety of sizes
- Anti-fire spread
- Health safety
- Reasonable price
Absolutely waterproof
The most outstanding advantage when using decorative plastic wall panels is their absolute waterproof ability. This helps protect your walls from mold, peeling, and mold, especially in areas with humid seasons.
Anti-termite and insect
Panels are made from PVC/PS or composite plastic, which is effective against termites and insects. This helps protect your walls from damage, saving on maintenance costs.
Easy cleaning
The surface of the plastic panel is smooth, dust-free, and easy to clean with a damp cloth or soapy water.
Note: We must not use concentrated detergents or hard brushes to clean.
Fast construction
Plastic wall panels are light in weight, easy to construct, quick to install, saving time and costs.
Durable
Plastic wall panels are highly durable, with a lifespan of up to 20 years, even longer if used and maintained properly. The product is not easily warped or deformed when exposed to high temperatures.
Rich designs
The production process of plastic wall panels is relatively simple, allowing the creation of many different designs at low cost. Manufacturers meet market demand by diversifying the colors and patterns of plastic wall panels from imitation wood, imitation stone, imitation cement to monochrome panels.
Diverse shapes and sizes
Plastic panels come in many different shapes and sizes, including:
- Flat panels: Nano panels 8 - 9mm thick and stone-grained PVC panels 2.8 - 3mm thick.
- Fluted panel panels with different designs of high wave, low wave, single wave, double wave, thickness ranging from 15 - 30mm.
Anti-fire spread
Wood-imitation plastic panels are more resistant to fire spread than natural wood. When the temperature increases, the plastic sheet will melt, slowing down the fire and preventing the spread of fire.
Health safety
Plastic panels do not affect human health if they are produced from virgin plastic and do not contain impurities and harmful toxic gases.
Wall panels made of virgin PVC are easy to recognize because:
- Bright white virgin PVC plastic core.
- Phone LED lights can penetrate through the back panel.
Reasonable price
Natural wood wall panels cost from 920.000 - 2.150.000 VND/m² (depending on the type of wood). Marble wall tiles cost from 1.150.000 - 6.000.000 VND/m². Meanwhile, whether it is imitation oak or cedar wood, or even imitation marble, plastic wall panels only cost around 240.000 - 691.000 VND/m²
What are the disadvantages of plastic cladding?
Disadvantages of plastic cladding include:
- Faded by UV rays (sun rays). You should not install the product in outdoor areas such as porches or balconies.
- The bearing capacity of plastic panels is lower than that of bricks, stone, and wood. Therefore, we should not apply too much force to the edges of the panel.
- Easily scratched when in contact with sharp objects. We should only clean the product with a soft cloth, not a brush.
5 popular types of indoor plastic wall/ceiling panels
5 popular types of indoor plastic wall/ceiling panels are:
- Nano plastic panels

Nano plastic panels
Nano plastic panels (Nano panels) are flat panels made from PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride), depending on the type, there will be additional stone powder ingredients. The product has a thickness of 8 - 9mm with a base with hollow holes to help absorb sound. We will install this product with glue and stainless steel, assembling the panels through locking joints. Most products are designed to imitate wood, however there are still many imitation cement or monochrome stone models for you to choose from.

Stone-grained PVC panels (imitation stone plastic panels) are PVC panels mixed with stone powder, about 2.8 - 3mm thin. It has a flat shape with a glossy surface and realistic imitation stone texture. The product does not have a lock, we just need to install the panels next to each other with glue. Thanks to its light weight and flexibility, we can easily install panels at curved corners.
Stone-grained PVC panels are the most effective alternative to natural stone for interior wall cladding today, bringing luxurious beauty to the space at a reasonable price.
PVC fluted panel
PVC fluted panel is a plastic panel with a wavy design, the base is bright white with a decorative film layer on the surface.
