3d panels for walls in the interior

Mounting

Self-installation of panels begins with preliminary calculations. It is necessary to carefully measure the dimensions of the walls on which the material will be laid. This is necessary in order to determine the number of products. Of course, such calculations are carried out after the model has been determined, because each type has its own parameters.

For example, gypsum elements are produced with a thickness of forty to sixty millimeters, and the relief protrusion can reach six centimeters. The size of a standard piece is 60 * 60 cm. When choosing, you should clarify how wall products are sold - by piece or in packages.

Self-assembly of gypsum panels requires accurate calculations and attention

Before starting the cladding, it is necessary to carry out preparatory measures. 3D wall panels require a solid foundation. Therefore, first, the old decorative layer is removed, the strength of the putty and plaster is checked, and in case of numerous defects, the entire surface is replaced.

A well-prepared base is the key to a long service life of 3D gypsum panels

There are several installation methods, each of them is suitable for a specific situation:

Erection of the frame. It is made from metal profiles. The technology resembles that used for gypsum boards. Fastening is carried out on countersunk clamps, which securely hold the elements. This allows you to create a surface that will not have any mounting marks. But there are exceptions - the gypsum material is fixed with self-tapping screws. To hide their caps, a plaster solution is used, the color is selected individually.
Glue landing. It should be noted right away that for this method, the surface must be carefully prepared. 3D wall panels are glued according to the selected scheme, it depends on the existing drawing. In order to get an exact match of the fragments, a preliminary marking is carried out. It helps to avoid mistakes. The installation procedure is quite simple:
- the necessary mixture is prepared, it can be in cans or tubes;
- application is carried out depending on the option chosen - with a spatula or with a construction gun;
- it is necessary to correctly distribute the composition over the wall surface and the seamy side of the product;
- each element is placed in a chosen place, checked by markings and level, pressed and held until secure adhesion.

There is also a third option - an additive for screws. It makes it possible to quickly replace damaged fragments.

If you draw up the correct design project, decide on the composition and make a neat installation, you will get 3D walls that will delight you with their originality.

Types of wall panels, their pros and cons

For the production of wall modules, modern technologies and many types of raw materials are actively used. Wood, bamboo stems, gypsum, cellulose, cork, leather and fabric are environmentally friendly coatings that can be recommended for use in living rooms - living room, bedroom or nursery, but polyurethane (PVC) panels are more suitable for decorating corridors, kitchens and bathrooms ...

Solid wood wall panels are highly valued for their respectable appearance, durability and excellent thermal insulation qualities. As a completely natural material, wood is highly breathable and moisture permeable, providing natural ventilation and creating a healthy microclimate in the room. The disadvantage of such a finish may only be the high cost, but the numerous advantages fully justify all the costs.

MDF panels in their qualities they are almost not inferior to boards and even surpass them, since they are more resistant to moisture and do not deform over time.However, a beautiful cut pattern in this case will not be real, but obtained by veneering, which somewhat reduces the elitism of the finish. From an environmental point of view, fine dispersion plates are absolutely safe, as they do not contain harmful resins.

Chipboard panels are available due to their low cost and a wide range of external coatings, but they vaporize formaldehydes that are harmful to health. Chip blocks are very afraid of dampness, therefore, in the immediate vicinity of the walls, they can quickly swell and lose aesthetics.

Fiberboard panels thin and light, they are not expensive. If necessary, it is very easy to cut the sheet with a clerical knife, and ordinary glue will be enough to fasten it to the wall. The seamy side of this material is rough, the front side in the case of wall decoration is laminated with a film with some pattern or texture. Fibreboards bend quickly and become soaked in high humidity.

Gypsum panels have a high density and weight

Due to their increased fragility, they should be handled carefully. The plasticity of plaster allows you to create unusual reliefs and three-dimensional 3D effects

Heavy blocks are attached to the walls mainly with glue, since any other fasteners can simply destroy the integrity of the modules.

Bamboo panels harmoniously fit into exotic design directions - Japanese, African, Hawaiian, although nothing prevents them from making them a highlight of modern minimalism. Typically, these slabs consist of dried bamboo stalks bonded to each other, glued to a fabric base. Natural material comes in various thicknesses and shades, and its strength, environmental friendliness and moisture resistance make it the optimal wall covering in any room.

Soft panels are made in the same way as, for example, headboards. On the base of fiberboard or plywood, packing is laid - a thin layer of foam rubber, synthetic winterizer or felt, which is then sheathed with fabric or leather (sometimes leatherette).

In the interior, such solutions look unusually original and expensive. However, a soft stove usually decorates only one area in the room - the area behind the bed or the wall above the sofa in the living room. This type of decoration looks very appropriate in a lounge cafe and other places of evening relaxation.

Plastic (polyurethane, vinyl, PVC) panels - one of the most inexpensive and versatile materials for wall cladding. The simplicity of applying a picture to the front side of these plates gives a huge scope for the embodiment of all design ideas. Plastic is maximally resistant to humidity, temperature extremes and mechanical damage, but with all its positive qualities, it can create a greenhouse effect in rooms, preventing normal air circulation.

What rooms will 3D panels look good in?

Depending on the source material from which the panels are made, they can be installed in almost any room. They can decorate the hallway, zone the space between the dining area and the kitchen itself.

Bathroom

For the bathroom, you need to select not only stylish, but also practical products that are not afraid of moisture and cleaning agents. Ideal in this option are panels made of aluminum, plastic. You can choose a material that does not have a pronounced relief. Such panels are usually made of polyvinyl chloride.

Panels installed in the kitchen should be practical and easy to clean.

Bedroom

The main point is that the material should not contain a large number of chemical compounds. Natural materials are welcome here, for example, wood or mdf panels.

Living room

Here you can use any materials. Glass 3D panels, wood, metal and so on

Hallway

Taking into account the permeability of the room, as well as its functional purpose, practicality and aesthetic appearance come first.

The corridor

The situation is similar with this part of the room. Meeting guests, heavy loads, constant moisture, mud in rainy weather. The main thing is practicality, ease of care and attractive appearance.

3d panels in the bedroom

The bedroom is a very important area. How we fall asleep and in what mood we wake up depends on the competent arrangement and arrangement of parts, as well as the interior as a whole. However, it is not uncommon to hear the opinion that “there is only sleep there,” then people refer to the bedroom without proper attention. Don't make this mistake again! It might be worth taking the time to organize your bedroom properly and wake up smiling every day.

Sleek design transforms space in an elegant corner of the bedroom

The fact that the decoration does not apply to the entire wall, but only to a part of it, has allowed this detail to become an impressive decoration.

How to organize your bedroom space?

The bedroom, as a rule, is not the largest of the rooms in a house or apartment, so the possibilities for arbitrary arrangement of individual decor elements are slightly limited. And here we find the right solution with the help of 3D wall panels. They allow you to make the interior stylish and individual even in the smallest room.

The black accent wall at the head of the bed and the "gold" roses turn the bedroom into an art object.

The most common solution for decorative panels is to create an accent wall at the head of the bed. A design technique with partial decoration of the wall behind the head of the bed is also widely used. This partial finish makes the bed look larger. You can think of an interesting and non-standard solution. In this way, decorate the wall opposite from the bed, which you see when waking up and falling asleep every day. The eye-catching design in your favorite colors will give you a good mood for the whole day.

Decorating the wall opposite to the bed in rich blue will remind you of the sea and warm waves.

Choosing a texture pattern and color

The choice of pattern, texture of the coating on the bedroom wall can be very diverse. You can choose almost any model - from calm waves to complex geometric patterns.

When choosing a color scheme for the walls of the bedroom, try not to dwell on too intense, exciting colors. This is not always a good solution - these colors make the process of falling asleep longer. Pastel, muted and soothing colors are ideal. However, the choice of color is a purely individual decision, so bright contrasting options are also possible.

The decorative stone coating in the bedroom does not seem cold, and the structure is emphasized by spot lighting

When choosing 3 d panels in the interior, think about white. White walls in the bedroom are a popular and effective solution. Just like white decorative brick or white stone-like tiles or decorative plaster of the same color, this is a great option. This color does not affect the comfort and quality of our sleep and adds elegance and cleanliness to the bedroom. White softens all curves and sharp bends somewhat. Therefore, while maintaining the light tones of the walls, you can decide on a bolder choice.

Style and elegance are immediately apparent when looking at this decor.

Not everyone dares to bright dynamic colors in the bedroom.

Lighting in the bedroom with embossed walls

Correctly organized lighting corresponding to the nature of the wall covering is at least 50% of success, and maybe more. What do you need to think about when choosing a decorative textured coating? Of course about the light! And plaster and imitation of brick and stone and of course 3D panels in the interior simply require to emphasize their beauty with special point or combined lighting.Well-planned lighting design is the foundation of a soulful bedroom. Successful lighting not only enhances the elegance of the room, but also creates a cozy and intimate atmosphere in the bedroom.

A bedroom in intense dark colors is definitely a bold decision. Lighting adds passion and style and completes the big picture

Varieties of 3D panels

Volumetric panels for walls are classified according to the type of material of manufacture. Modern technologies make it possible to form decorative 3d panels from almost any material that can be machined or pressed. The most popular materials used in the mass production of embossed cladding are:

Wood-containing materials: natural wood and its derivatives - chipboard, fiberboard, MDF and plywood;

The choice of wood cladding directly depends on the financial capabilities of the owner of the house, since the cost of the panels includes not only prices for materials, but also labor costs for making a three-dimensional ornament. If the selected wood is a valuable species, then the drawing on the plate is created manually. Naturally, 3D wood panels are the most expensive in the 3D wall cladding product line. Such plates are more to the liking of interior lovers in classic, baroque or empire styles.

In fig. Below are the options for 3D panels, handmade, made from solid woods for individual orders.

Handcrafted 3D panel options from precious wood species

3D boards with a pressed base are more affordable in terms of prices compared to products made from natural wood, since the load-bearing base is made from recycled wood raw materials:

large wood chips - for chipboard;
shredded wood chips - for MDF;
shredded wood fiber - for fiberboard.

The three-dimensional relief is created by hot pressing. A protective coating is applied to the surface of the pattern - a film with imitation of a variety of textures. In fig. below shows a volumetric panel made of MDF.

Eco-panels made of shredded cellulose or bamboo;

The technology for the manufacture of eco-panels consists in preliminary crushing of the plant mass (cellulose and / or bamboo) and subsequent pressing (by analogy with MDF and fiberboard) to create the desired relief. The products are absolutely environmentally friendly, therefore they are recommended for children's and bedrooms.

Aluminum and its alloys, stainless steel, copper, which are highly resistant to corrosion and moisture. The volumetric ornament is applied using a special perforation technology, followed by the application of a protective polymer film. Metal panels are not afraid of wet wiping with ordinary household detergents. For the decoration of living quarters, they are used by admirers of minimalist and high-tech styles. Popular in the design of museum and exhibition halls. In fig. the interior trim with embossed aluminum plates is shown below;

3D aluminum cladding

High strength glass 5 mm thick. Thanks to the play of light on the edges of the convex relief surface of the ornament, the interior acquires an element of lightness and a kind of fabulousness with appropriate lighting. Perfectly fit into the environment of children's rooms, living rooms, they are used to decorate private pools;

Additional Information. Tempered glass for 3D slabs has a structure similar to car windshields. Therefore, when the panel is destroyed (fall, impact), sharp glass fragments are not formed.

In fig. below is a composition of glass slabs with a relief pattern.

3D glass composition

Plastic panels made of polyvinyl chloride (PVC), manufactured on thermoplastic extruders. Extrusion technology allows the execution of complex patterns with imitation of the texture of natural materials. Three-dimensional pvc panels are highly resistant to humidity and temperature changes.Users are impressed by their flexibility and light weight, a wide range of colors for the execution of the ornament. Among the disadvantages of PVC products, they note low strength to shock loads - even a weak impact can damage a fragile product. Not recommended for children's rooms;
Gypsum that can be used to decorate any room, including rooms with high humidity.

Criterias of choice

The choice of the best option is made, guided by the following factors:

interior features. This is an important point that determines the type of picture, the size of the elements and other features of the panels;
taste, preferences of the owner of the premises. Some people like natural materials, others choose abstract forms of relief. No advice or recommendation applies in this matter;
financial opportunities. The cheapest are bamboo panels. Wood, glass, or aluminum cladding is much more expensive.

By comparing these criteria, you can choose the most suitable material.

Selecting a pattern

Volumetric, beautiful drawings on the walls are always unusual and presentable. Such images allow not only to visually enlarge the space, but also look original in different lighting conditions. The good news is that there are no restrictions on the choice of pattern, the huge assortment allows, indeed, to give free rein to imagination. For bathroom cladding, drawings related to water are best suited. It can be a marine theme, an image of bright tropical fish, water drops, corals, a sandy beach.

Today, PVC panels are available in a variety of shades ranging from classic white to spectacular gold and silver tones. When choosing a picture, designers are advised to proceed from their own sense of style, favorite themes, combination of shades.

Bright bathrooms in green and yellow shades also look quite interesting. If you like these rich colors, go for a natural theme. Fruits, trees, birds, images of tropical animals are good. Orange and peach panels will give you a huge boost of vivacity and positive mood. But for romantically-minded people, it would be a good idea to install pinkish panels with patterns of flowers, for example, water lilies.

When purchasing a facing material, you also need to think not only about the drawing, but also how it will be located. The image can be placed on the entire wall, but it can only be above the bathroom, creating an emphasis on one area. It must be remembered that vertical drawings make the room higher, but horizontal ones, on the contrary, "lower" the ceiling.

Some of the most interesting bathroom collections will be Panda and Novita. Here you can find not only classic nautical themes, but also such stylish solutions as Provence and retro style panels. Panels with lace ornament, images of birds of paradise, oriental patterns look gorgeous. E-Plast also has a very interesting collection of PVC panels with a 3D pattern. The huge assortment includes a wide variety of shades, as well as elegant collections with a shimmery effect.

Tips for installing plastic panels are in the next video.

Varieties

Such a huge variety of 3D panels is due to the use of a wide variety of materials in the manufacture.

Aluminum

This material is only used to frame each tile. A relief or pattern is applied by perforating or bending the surface. Then the entire surface is covered with a decorative film. Thanks to PVC foil, metal panels can be given any appearance, color or shade.

These panels are lightweight and durable. With proper care, the coating can last for several decades. Aluminum does not corrode, therefore, such finishing materials are often used in rooms with high humidity, for example, in a bathroom.

The only downside is that a frame or lathing is required to fix such panels, since due to structural features it is impossible to fix them directly to the wall.

Plastic

Plastic or PVC panels can be safely called one of the most popular among the population. Harmlessness, ease of maintenance, a huge assortment of textures and patterns, low price - all this allowed this type of 3D panels to break through to the leaders in the building materials market.

Among the polymer models, there are several types of 3D panels: perforated, mirror, textured and glossy. This variety allows you to choose a finish for any type of room. Good moisture resistance makes it possible to use this material in bathrooms and shower rooms.

Polymer panels can be coated on top with a film that can imitate leather, suede, stone or wood. All these properties are actively used by designers.

Natural wood

3D panels made of natural wood look luxurious and give the room a noble look. They are very environmentally friendly, they are very breathable. The material exudes a pleasant aroma. This finish will suit luxurious Empire or Baroque interiors. Some modern styles also use natural wood heavily.

However, the high price and complexity of care may be a reason for refusing to use this material. To maintain a respectable appearance and preserve the properties of natural wood, it is often necessary to treat the surface with special means that protect the wood.

Bamboo

This is another version of 3D panels made of natural material, which is popular due to its low price and easy installation. Bamboo is a flexible material that allows you to create fancy patterns. Sometimes bamboo is ground and mixed with glue resins and then pressed. The result is very durable, but lightweight tiles, which can be applied to any pattern.

MDF

One of the safest and most sustainable materials. The properties of the panels allow you to give them any shape and texture. The range of use of such 3D wall panels is very high: nursery, living room, corridor, kitchen. They are easy to install: just apply glue to the inside and press it against the wall. The only limitation in use is a humid environment: untreated tile edges can absorb moisture, leading to deformation.

Gypsum

A popular material because of its ease of processing. Absolutely any pattern can be applied to gypsum boards and give them the most unusual shape. Low price, fire resistance, good vapor permeability make these panels attractive to consumers.

However, the material is capable of absorbing moisture and is therefore not recommended for damp rooms. In addition, it is quite fragile, so it is better to use glue during installation.

Thus, panels with a 3D effect can significantly expand the horizons of the design world and add originality to both luxurious and more modest interiors.

Applications

Veneered panels can be used as wall cladding in the bedroom, hallway, living room, loggia. Due to the good resistance of the material to moisture (applies to painted and laminated samples), it can be used even in the kitchen area. In bathrooms, decorative panels are rarely used; they are used to make a bathroom set.

In the hallways, the entire wall is sheathed with panels from top to bottom, in the rooms they focus on one wall or any part of it. Designers willingly use veneered panels in the interior, since it is possible to quickly assemble a wall panel from them, which will add an interesting touch to the room. This technique is especially relevant for the headboard of a berth. Also, MDF boards are used to decorate the walls for audio and video equipment in the guest room.

In the kitchen area, MDF is used to decorate the apron.The tone of the panels and the texture must match the design of the façade and the style of the installed appliances. MDF panels can often be seen in office buildings and public institutions (hospitals), where there is always a large crowd of people.

The reasons for their popularity as a building material for public spaces are as follows:

acceptable price;
high wear resistance;
ease of installation;
aesthetic appearance;
ease of care.

What is MDF wall panels in the interior and what are they

MDF is a board that is produced by dry pressing of finely dispersed wood shavings. Due to this structure, the panels can be given any shape, even rounded. The panels are widely used:

as an alternative to paint, wallpaper and plaster;
when you need a wear-resistant anti-vandal material;
for masking numerous wall defects;
for faster finishing of large surfaces.
