2. PANELLING
• PANELLING (OR PANELING IN THE U.S.) IS
A MILLWORK WALL COVERING CONSTRUCTED FROM
RIGID OR SEMI-RIGID COMPONENTS.[1] THESE ARE
TRADITIONALLY INTERLOCKING WOOD, BUT COULD
BE PLASTIC OR OTHER MATERIALS.
• PANELLING WAS DEVELOPED IN ANTIQUITY TO MAKE
ROOMS IN STONE BUILDINGS MORE
COMFORTABLE.[CITATION NEEDED] THE PANELS SERVED
TO INSULATE THE ROOM FROM THE COLD STONE. IN
MORE MODERN BUILDINGS, SUCH PANELLING IS
OFTEN INSTALLED FOR DECORATIVE PURPOSES.
PANELLING, SUCH AS WAINSCOTING AND BOISERIE IN
PARTICULAR, MAY BE EXTREMELY ORNATE AND IS
PARTICULARLY ASSOCIATED WITH SEVENTEENTH
AND EIGHTEENTH CENTURY INTERIOR
DESIGN, VICTORIAN ARCHITECTURE IN BRITAIN, AND
ITS INTERNATIONAL CONTEMPORARIES.

3. TYPES OF WALL PANELING
• WALL PANELING IS AN ARCHITECTURAL ELEMENT
OFTEN INSTALLED IN RESIDENTIAL OR
COMMERCIAL BUILDINGS. DECORATIVE WALL
PANELING IS INSTALLED OVER WALLS TO ADD
AESTHETIC APPEAL, WHILE OTHER TYPES OF
PANELING MAY BE ADDED FOR THEIR
FUNCTIONAL OR STRUCTURAL
CHARACTERISTICS. MANY PANELING VARIETIES
ARE AVAILABLE AT HOME IMPROVEMENT AND
HARDWARE STORES WHILE OTHERS MAY BE
PURCHASED FROM SPECIALTY DISTRIBUTORS.

4. DECORATIVE WALL PANELS
• DECORATIVE WALL PANELS ARE AVAILABLE IN
MANY DIFFERENT MATERIALS. THEY ARE OFTEN
USED TO CHANGE THE LOOK OF THE WALL, BUT
MAY ALSO BE INSTALLED TO HELP PROTECT THE
WALL FROM DAMAGE. WAINSCOTING IS ONE OF
THE MOST COMMONLY USED WALL PANELS. IT IS
MADE FROM WOOD OR SYNTHETIC MATERIALS
PATTERNED WITH CARVINGS AND DESIGNS.
WAINSCOT IS USUALLY INSTALLED ON THE LOWER
HALF OF A WALL, BUT HEIGHTS AND STYLES MAY
VARY. PRE-FABRICATED PANELS MAY BE USED, OR
THOSE FAMILIAR WITH WOODWORKING CAN
CREATE THEIR OWN VERSIONS. OTHER COMMON
MATERIALS USED FOR DECORATIVE PANELING
INCLUDE LAMINATE, STAINLESS STEEL AND
PLASTICS.
• TILEBOARD
• TILEBOARD PANELS ARE MADE FROM MELAMINE
OR RESIN AND ARE USED TO MIMIC THE LOOK OF
CERAMIC TILE. THEY ARE TEXTURED AND
COLORED TO LOOK LIKE TILE, AND ARE
ATTACHED TO A MOISTURE-RESISTANT
BACKERBOARD. THESE PANELS ARE AN
AFFORDABLE ALTERNATIVE TO CERAMIC AND ARE
MUCH EASIER TO INSTALL. TILEBOARD PANELS
ALSO DO NOT HAVE GROUT LINES, WHICH MAKE

6. UTILITY PANELING
• UTILITY PANELING, OFTEN CALLED PEGBOARD, IS
MADE FROM PERFORATED HARDBOARD AND IS
USED FOR ITS FUNCTION AND APPEARANCE. THESE
PANELS CONTAIN ROWS OF SMALL HOLES THAT
CAN BE USED TO HANG OBJECTS FROM NAILS OR
PEGS. THEY ARE FREQUENTLY USED IN KITCHENS
OR GARAGES, AS WELL AS IN COMMERCIAL
APPLICATIONS. UTILITY PANELING IS AVAILABLE IN
STANDARD WHITE OR NATURAL WOOD FINISHES
AND ALSO IN CUSTOM COLORS. THESE PANELS CAN
BE INSTALLED OVER THE ENTIRE WALL OR JUST IN
SMALL AREAS AS NEEDED.
• ACOUSTICAL PANELS
• ACOUSTICAL PANELS ARE USED TO CONTROL NOISE
LEVELS IN A SPACE AND TO BLOCK NOISE TRANSFER
THROUGH WALLS. THEY'RE MADE FROM FOAM OR
WOOD CORES WRAPPED WITH A LAYER OF VINYL OR
FABRIC. THE PANELS HELP ABSORB SOUND AND ARE
COMMONLY USED N SCHOOLS, AUDITORIUMS AND
HOTELS. THESE PANELS ARE AVAILABLE IN A WIDE
VARIETY OF COLORS AND TEXTURES TO MATCH
THE ROOM'S DECOR. ACOUSTICAL PANELS CAN BE
INSTALLED TEMPORARILY USING CLIPS OR
MAGNETS, OR WITH NAILS OR ADHESIVE FOR MORE
PERMANENT APPLICATIONS.

8. STRUCTURAL WALL
PANELS
• WHILE MOST TYPES OF WALL PANELING ARE
INSTALLED ON THE INTERIOR, OTHERS ARE USED
TO CREATE EXTERIOR WALLS. THESE PANELS ARE
FREQUENTLY MADE FROM PRECAST CONCRETE AND
ALLOW FOR QUICK AND EASY FRAMING OF HOMES
AND BUSINESSES. SOME STRUCTURAL PANELS MAY
BE USED TO REPLACE BOTH INTERIOR AND
EXTERIOR WALLS. STRUCTURAL INSULATED PANELS
(SIPS) TAKE THE PLACE OF WALL FRAMING,
INTERIOR DRYWALL AND EXTERIOR SHEATHING OR
SIDING. THEY ARE MADE FROM SHEETS OF RIGID
FOAM INSULATION SANDWICHED BETWEEN LAYERS
OF WOOD FIBER BOARD.

11. WOOD PANELING
NATURE OF WOOD PANELING
• VERY HARD
• WELL SEASONED
• DECORATIVE IN APPEARANCE
• SOUND INSULATION
• MAY BE USED TO COVER A WALL COMPLETELY OR
FORM A DADO
• INSULATION AGAINST HEAT
• GIVES A WARM AND ELEGANT FEELING
• WOOD PANELING MAY BE SOLID OR VENEERED
WOOD PANELING LASTS FOR YEARS WITH LITTLE
MAINTENANCE IF PROPER PRECAUTION ARE
TAKEN AGAINST WOODWORM
CLEANING OF WOOD PANELING
DUST SHOULD BE REMOVED USING VACUUM
CLEANER. WHEN THE PANELS BECOME DIRTY THEY
SHOULD BE WIPED OVER WITH WHITE SPIRIT,
VINEGAR AND WATER AND THEN POLISHED.
METAL WALL COVERING
• METALS MAY BE USED FOR THEIR DECORATIVE
AND HYGIENIC QUALITIES.
• THE METALS NORMALLY USED ARE COPPER,
ANODIZED ALUMINUM AND STAINLESS STEEL
• OTHERS – LINOLEUM, CARPETS, MARBLE, GRANITE

12. USES OF PANELLING
• A WALL PANEL IS SINGLE PIECE OF MATERIAL,
USUALLY FLAT AND CUT INTO
A RECTANGULAR SHAPE, THAT SERVES AS THE
VISIBLE AND EXPOSED COVERING FOR A WALL. WALL
PANELS ARE FUNCTIONAL AS WELL AS DECORATIVE,
PROVIDING INSULATION AND SOUNDPROOFING,
COMBINED WITH UNIFORMITY OF APPEARANCE,
ALONG WITH SOME MEASURE OF DURABILITY OR
EASE OF REPLACEABILITY. WHILE THERE IS NO SET
SIZE LIMIT FOR A PIECE OF MATERIAL FULFILLING
THESE FUNCTIONS, THE MAXIMUM PRACTICAL SIZE
FOR WALL PANELS HAS BEEN SUGGESTED TO BE 24
FEET BY 8 FEET, TO ALLOW FOR TRANSPORTATION.
• USE OF WALL PANELS CAN REDUCE CONSTRUCTION
COSTS BY PROVIDING A CONSISTENT APPEARANCE
TO THE PANELLED SURFACE WITHOUT REQUIRING
THE APPLICATION OF PAINT OR ANOTHER
FINISHING MATERIAL. WALL PANELS MAY BE
FINISHED ON ONLY ONE SIDE, IF THE OTHER SIDE IS
GOING TO BE AGAINST A BRICK OR CONCRETE
WALL, OR A COMPARABLE
STRUCTURE.[2] ALTERNATELY, THE PANELS MAY, IF
ASSEMBLED TO AN APPROPRIATE FRAMEWORK,
SUBSTITUTE FOR HAVING ANY OTHER KIND OF
