Nano Panels: Classification, Advantages, Quotations, Applications 2024
Nano panels are wall panels, ceiling panels, partition panels, interior lamri panels made from PVC or SPC plastic and stone powder combined with additives. The surface is covered with a decorative film, simulating wood grain, cloud grain, marble grain, fabric grain, concrete grain, cement grain and monochrome, bringing high aesthetics to the interior space.
Flat Nano paneling has a cost-effective price for users, ranging from 39.000 - 79.000 VND/meter long.
Survey shows that 75% of Vietnamese consumers prefer to use plastic panels, including Nano panels, due to reasonable cost, high aesthetics and good durability" - Hanoi University of Construction (2024).
What is Nano Panel?
Nano panels are flat-shaped plastic panels for walls, ceilings, TV panels, and interior lamri, made up of 4 layers as follows:
- The surface protection layer helps prevent abrasion, mold, water and fading.
- Decorative layer with modern design following the trend of wood grain, stone grain, fabric grain, concrete grain, etc.
- The adhesive layer bonds the decorative layer and the plastic base layer.
- The plastic base layer is made from a mixture of PVC and SPC plastic, stone powder combined with additives, helping the product to be anti-warping, waterproof, anti-termite, with good bearing capacity and elasticity.
Recommendation: The thickness of the decorative film on the product surface determines the scratch resistance of the Nano panel, specifically:
- Kosmos brand Nano panels use thick film from 0.14 - 0.16mm. Thanks to that, the surface of the panel is difficult to scratch even when strongly impacted. Therefore, this product is very suitable for wall and ceiling cladding for commercial spaces such as product showrooms, restaurants, hotels - places with high traffic density and high risk of surface scratches.
- Galawood brand Nano panel equipped with thick film 0.12 mm. This film layer is thinner than the Kosmos line, but is still enough to protect the surface of the panel from normal impacts in daily life. Therefore, this product is an ideal choice for civil spaces such as living rooms, bedrooms, and family kitchens - where strong impacts with the surface are less likely to occur.
Classification of plastic panels for walls, ceilings, partitions, and Nano lamri
Nano wall, ceiling, partition and lamri plastic panels are classified according to many different sizes and designs.
Nano panel classification by size
Nano plastic wall panels are divided into 2 types: 400mm wide panels and 105mm wide panels.
👉 Nano panel 400mm wide
Nano panels have a width of 400mm, a thickness of 8-9mm, a length of 3000-3500mm and 4000mm (depending on the needs of customers ordering production). This type is suitable for wall cladding, ceiling cladding, partition cladding for large spaces and limits panel joints.
👉 Nano panel 105mm wide
Nano panels are 105mm wide, 9mm thick, 3000mm – 3500mm and 4000mm long (depending on customer requirements). Nano 105mm wide is suitable for small areas, very suitable for ceiling cladding, creating deep grooves to create a 3D effect that attracts users.
Classify Nano panels by product color
Nano panels are diverse in designs and colors, including: stone grain, wood grain, cement grain, fabric grain, monochrome grain, classic patterns.
- veinstone: Nano stone-patterned panels recreate the luxurious, noble beauty of marble, granite, marble, etc., suitable for modern style.

Notes when installing products and using Nano plastic panels in interiors
To ensure the quality and longevity of Nano panels, the following points should be noted:
- Avoid direct sunlight and high temperature >50°C: Sunlight will fade the color and high temperature can deform and warp the panel. Therefore, it is recommended to use curtains or install in cool places.
- Clean with damp cloth and diluted detergent solution.: Nano panels are easy to clean with a damp cloth or water diluted with soap. Absolutely do not use strong detergents or chemicals to avoid damaging the surface.
- Avoid using sharp objects on the surface.: Although it has good impact resistance, Nano panels can still be scratched by sharp objects. Therefore, be careful when moving furniture to avoid scratching the surface.
- Periodic maintenance every 3-6 months: Clean and check the adhesion of the panel periodically to prolong the product's life.
- Apply on dry, flat surface: Before installation, make sure the wall or ceiling has been treated with a flat wall and the frame is installed correctly as recommended if any (distance between the frames is from 30 - 50cm) when covering the wall/ceiling, and is free of dust or moisture. This helps increase adhesion and aesthetics for the project.
According to the experience of the construction association of wall, ceiling and partition cladding, complying with the above principles will help Nano panels maintain their beauty and maximize their functionality throughout their use.

Is it safe to use Nano plastic ceiling panels?
Ceiling panels with Nano plastic panels ensure safety for users because of their light weight (4.4 - 6.22kg/1m²), reducing the load on the ceiling. Fixing with brackets and stainless steel screws keeps the panels firmly fixed, without falling off. Watch the video of installing Nano plastic ceiling panels in the following video!
What should be noted when installing Nano panels on the frame?
When installing Nano wall/ceiling panels on the frame, note the distance between the bars from 300mm to 500mm.
Can Nano panels be installed on the exterior?
