WHAT IS PVC WALL PANEL?
Plastic wall panels can imitate wood, imitation stone, imitation cement,... 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 affordability, durability and ease of maintenance. These panels offer a realistic feel 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.
