What Are Wall Panels?

Ever since crude line drawings were scratched onto cave walls, homo sapiens have used their innate creativity to express individualism and personality in their interiors.

Technology has moved on since then, of course, when it comes to walls and wall panels. Wall panels are individual pieces of a material that are fixed to walls and which, when joined together, give the wall a uniform appearance. They serve not only decorative functions, but practical ones also – for example, insulation and soundproofing.

Today, naturally, artwork remains a common feature of contemporary interiors, but the affordability of cutting-edge wall panel materials means that walls themselves can now be the artwork. Previously shackled to the contract sector, this new-found affordability has moved creative wall panelling into private, residential spaces as well.

Varied Wall Panels for Personal Interiors

To scroll through the extensive subcategories of wall panels on Architonic’s product category page above is to realise just how closely a designer’s unique vision can be matched. Panelling can be mirrored , luminescent or translucent to provide or play with light; perforated, sanded , embossed or three-dimensional for texture and depth; fabric-clad for thermal- and sound-insulation or fitted with video screens . Even the flat options include countless choices of material, colour, pattern, effect and finish for wall panels. Or specifiers can digitally print custom images. The only limit is imagination.

Choosing the Right Wall Panel on Architonic

Behind each product image, there are detailed images where the wall panel can be viewed in more detail, linked to alternative versions in more colours, shapes, finishes and sizes, while a selection of ambient images help to specify the right wall panel for each project, giving a full idea of the finished effect.

Further information such as descriptions and design summaries can be read, whilst additional data such as specifications, CAD files, dealers and catalogues can all be requested by specifiers, directly from the manufacturer on Architonic.
