Wooden 3d panels

Types of 3d wood panels

According to the principle of production and fastening, wall panels for interior decoration made of wood can be divided into two types:

1. Panel constructions. In this case, wooden fragments are pre-fixed on plywood plates with a certain step along the edge, this run will serve as a butting seam for without interval fastening. The texture of such a product can be any, flat or with the effect of three D;
2. Structures that are assembled directly on a section of the wall by fastening individual pieces of wood. Here, the texture is formed in place, all small elements are sequentially glued to the load-bearing wall from bottom to top, based on a previously drawn up drawing.

The appearance of both the first and the second type is practically no different, therefore their difference is very conditional.

Separately, one can single out such a type of decorative 3d panels for wall cladding, such as a wooden mosaic on a mesh base. Such a product looks like a ceramic tile, only pieces of wood on it as small fragments. This type of panels can be used in any premises, including in rooms where direct contact with water is foreseen, for example, a bath or a sauna.

Also, wooden wall panels can be divided into end panels and made from the plane of the wood. In the first case, the relief is created from pieces of timber or round timber, sawn down perpendicular to the trunk, the appearance resembles a pixel pattern with protruding platforms.

In the second case, the decorative panel is created from long sections of the trunk, the boards are sawn lengthwise into small sections, after which the wane is trimmed and adjusted. This type of wall decor is often used on wide sections of the wall, which visually increases the area of ​​the room.

Horizontal panels

Beautiful design ideas

Below are specific examples of the design of different interiors using wooden 3D panels of various types:

In this version, the wall becomes a real highlight of the room. And this is despite the color of the material, because it is very modest. Classic furniture combined with original wall coverings gives a stunning result.

In this case, the design becomes the embodiment of the great taste of the owner of the premises. Discreet, elegant yet incredibly stylish design option.

Wall decoration like this will undoubtedly attract many looks. The walls are decorated with wooden planks that come in different sizes. This creates a very unusual visual effect: the size and shape of the walls literally blur.

This is another option for an elegant and beautiful room design. The noble color of natural wood, combined with an unusual volumetric texture, turns a classic-style living room into a room with elements of real art.

An example of a successful and effective wall decoration with planks. The color of the planks can be very different.

Wood panels for wall decoration: varieties and classification

There are many wood finishing materials on the construction market, which are classified according to the characteristics:

1. The form. Slats and plates. Reiki is 2.5-3.7 meters long. The width is also different. Collect slats using spikes, grooves. Installation is carried out in different ways: horizontally, vertically, diagonally. The slabs are square. They will pave the wall from the floor to the middle? And also used as a separate insert.
2. Material. Facing material is made of natural wood, fiberboard, chipboard, MDF.

The cladding has a different cost. It depends on the material being made - it will be a valuable wood species or particle board.

Rack decorative

These are long slats, up to 3.7 meters long, up to 30 cm wide, their thickness is different. They are made of wood, PVC, fiberboard and other materials containing wood shavings.

Use slats for finishing small rooms where there are many projections (corners). If the decoration is light colors, its application visually enlarges and brightens the room, the corridor.

Fixing the slats horizontally - stretches the room in length, vertically - the high ceiling is visualized. Installation is carried out on a frame base with staples or self-tapping screws.

Natural wood

Facing material made of various types of wood is appreciated for its unique pattern, shades and play of colors, as well as for its warmth and comfort. During processing, the wood is handled carefully in order to preserve the textured pattern and shade. In most cases, the panels are not painted, but covered with a clear varnish for expressiveness and protection from external factors.

Wood material can be called capricious - it does not tolerate moisture or sudden changes in temperature. Constant exposure to hot air is also unacceptable. Humidity and temperature should be optimal.

Fasten the cladding to the created lattice of metal profiles or wooden slats.

Pressed panels

Cladding made of pressed wood shavings is not toxic today. Thanks to new technologies, the composition does not include phenolic glue. The production takes place under great pressure. The pricing policy has not changed. The panels are still available to the middle class and perfectly decorate the premises.

Facing material is produced in various colors, with patterns or "wood imitation", monochromatic.

Some of them are covered with colorless varnish, while others can be painted on their own, giving individuality and achieving the desired result.

You can mount the material on a rough base in three ways: frameless: on glue, self-tapping screws and a frame.

Artificial panels on the wall under the tree

The cladding is made of polyvinyl chloride. Painted to match the color of the tree. The textured drawing can be exactly the same as a tree in section. These panels are used for finishing wet rooms, balconies, corridors, living rooms in private houses, loggias and attics. In the place where natural wood can swell or crack, PVC will retain its original appearance for a long time.

This material has a generally rack-and-pinion shape. Fasten it to glue, frame base.

Self-adhesive panels

Self-adhesive panels are made of PVC and MDF. They are easy to install (without dirt, dust, without reducing the space of the room), and they are also durable.

The material has a number of features, among which the effect of humidity is unimportant, improvement of sound insulation, durability without loss of appearance. Different in shape, rail, square

Mount on the entire wall or partially, chaotically

They are different in shape, rail, square. They are mounted on the entire wall or partially, chaotically.

The manufactured material is safe for human health.

Wood panel manufacturing process

These products can be produced on an industrial scale in a specialized enterprise or independently by a master who performs the finishing. It is worth noting that a factory-made decorative board is much better in quality than a hand-assembled one, since the plant has all the necessary equipment in the form of a press and a drying chamber for wood, and in domestic conditions it is not possible to comply with all processing conditions. But both at the factory and at home, the procedure for the production of 3D panels for walls should be carried out in accordance with the following algorithm of actions:

1. Preparation and processing of the base for the panel board.Most often, a plywood sheet of various thicknesses is used as a carrier material, on which an antibacterial composition and special impregnations are applied to protect against moisture and mold penetration;
2. Pieces of natural wood are laid on plywood with glue previously applied to it, which is inactive in a dry state. The drawing can be freehand or pre-applied with a pencil on the base. All joints between the elements are processed with a mill or emery paper to ensure a snug fit to each other;
3. At the next stage, the assembled mosaic is placed under a hydraulic press equipped with a device for heating the platform. When the temperature rises to certain values, the adhesive composition is activated and glues the pieces to the plywood base. The product is under pressure until the moment of complete solidification and the formation of a monolith. This condition is mandatory, since when the glue dries, the plane of the wood can lead, and the final part will not fit snugly to the fastener;
4. At the final stage, the entire surface of the resulting product is treated with impregnation, which gives shine and emphasizes the texture of the wood, as well as protects it from temperature changes and moisture penetration.

Important! This procedure must be carried out in accordance with safety regulations and in compliance with the rules governing the manufacture of such parts.

Wood processing

Pieces of wood from which the drawing will be formed must be prepared and processed in advance. To do this, their surface is sanded, then the entire volume is sent to the drying chamber to remove excess moisture, after which an antifungal composition is applied. It is not recommended to use untreated fragments, since after installation, during operation, the material will absorb water from the air, and when exposed to ambient temperature, it will lose moisture and crack. The base will be visible through the cracks, and mold and other microorganisms can also form inside them.

Advantages and disadvantages of 3d wood panels

There are a number of advantages that these products have over similar parts. They include:

1. Durability of the material of manufacture and construction as a whole. Wood is a natural product and, if properly processed and dried, can last for many years;

Installation of 3d panels

Easy to install and operate

If a panel board system of fasteners is used, then even one worker can cope with this work, in addition, all the work can be done independently with your own hands, it is only important to follow the assembly algorithm. After installation, these panels do not require any maintenance, except for periodic wet cleaning of the protruding sections;
Wide assortment and unusual texture of details

Due to this factor, panels of this type can be used in most interior styles, while perfectly fitting into the current style of the apartment;
In the case of installing wooden panels on a frame base, an empty space is formed between the load-bearing wall and the finish, which can be used as passageways for electrical wiring and ventilation, as well as for additional noise and thermal insulation. Why are mineral wool or foam slabs mounted in the resulting cavity;
Variability in installation, which can be carried out on a frame or by gluing tiles to the base of the wall. Also, these panels can be used for finishing not only walls, but also the ceiling.

Along with numerous advantages, products of this type have only one disadvantage, which is the cost of manufacturing and installation of the structure. Due to the high cost of natural materials, as well as a complex manufacturing procedure using a hydraulic press, the finished part turns out to be slightly more expensive than simple finishing elements at the exit.But this factor can be challenged by the service life and the beauty of the resulting interior.

Thus, when carrying out finishing work in an apartment and using 3d wood panels, you can use them to hide the shortcomings or emphasize the advantages of a particular room, fill it with functionality, and also solve any design ideas, regardless of the chosen interior concept. This material allows you to create a unique composition, fill the room with a "live" atmosphere and a source of the natural environment.

Varieties of wall panels

Finishing types

Depending on the shape, panels of the following types are distinguished:

• slatted type-setting - are oblong planks made of wood, chipboard, PVC, fiberboard or MDF. These interior wall panels are 240 to 370 centimeters long, 12.5 to 30 centimeters wide and 0.8 to 1.2 centimeters thick. The panels have grooves and spikes to connect to each other. Installation of cladding in horizontal and vertical orientation is allowed;

• tiled typesetting - are squares with sides from 30 to 98 centimeters long. Such wall panels are great for creating mosaics, because each of them has its own color and texture. Coating material - MDF, fiberboard, PVC and chipboard. To connect the plates, grooves and inserts are used;

• sheet - better than others have proven themselves when decorating large walls. The dimensions of their sides can vary from 122 to 244 centimeters with a thickness of 0.3 to 0.6 centimeters. Unlike other materials, wall panels are made only of wood or resin-impregnated fiberboard.

Rack type panels of various widths

The methods of fixing the plates are different. So, slatted type-setting panels for wall decoration are fixed on the crate, tiled ones - with the help of clamps or adhesive. Glue is also used for fastening sheet panels, and the seams between the covering elements are masked with moldings. How to install PVC on the ceiling yourself? watch the video and read here.

Classic paneling solutions

When finishing with plastic panels with your own hands, you need to take into account not only the type of coating elements, but also the material of their manufacture.

Wooden products are considered reliable, they are made from such types of wood as alder, maple, oak or cedar.

Sometimes the finish has a wax coating, due to which it can be used in rooms with high levels of humidity. Since wood wall cladding panels are environmentally friendly, they are recommended for use in residential areas.

Popular products made of fiberboard - a material consisting of woody plant fibers. They are also safe for human health, resistant to high humidity, but deteriorate in direct contact with water. In turn, facing panels made of chipboard for interior wall decoration are similar in appearance and quality to wood. This is due to the fact that chipboard is a compressed waste from wood production. The disadvantage of this material is the poor tolerance of sudden changes in temperature and humidity conditions.

Panels made of MDF are highly resistant to almost any environmental factors. Fiber boards are produced by using the dry pressing method, so they are not afraid of moisture and mechanical stress. It is recommended to decorate the walls with MDF panels, such as those rooms where conventional materials are short-lived or ineffective.

All mentioned types of panels are recommended for use in residential premises. With proper care, their service life will be more than 10 years. Wooden wall panels for wall decoration have a particularly long service life: if they are made of high-quality wood, they will retain their original appearance for several decades.

Panels from new materials

The panels made from gypsum vinyl are renowned for their reliability and durability. The material of their manufacture is a modification of drywall, and is similar in properties. Plastic panels for walls for interior decoration, which are not demanding on operating conditions and are easy to maintain, also demonstrated their best side.

New products on the building materials market are glass panels and 3D panels. The former are intended for applying photographic drawings to the surface of the walls, the latter have an unusual texture with a hypertrophied relief. 3D panels are made from all the materials listed above, as well as from aluminum.

Wall decoration with plastic panels is allowed in residential, commercial and public institutions. This coating is often used in schools and kindergartens because it is considered environmentally friendly. In turn, glass panels are as safe as plastic and are able to withstand significant mechanical stress, but are less common because they are more expensive. The same goes for the increasingly popular 3D panels.

3D panels create an unusual effect

Options for wall cladding with wooden panels in the apartment

There are 3 ways to attach the cladding to the rough surface. The most popular is the lathing. For this type of fixation, there is practically no need to prepare, level the rough surface.

Electric wires and cables of the Internet and television are hidden behind the panels. Insulation is carried out with mineral wool, which also contributes to better sound insulation.

When mounting on glue, the sub-surface must be flat, without obvious slopes and defects. In this case, the room should be with moderate humidity and without sudden changes in temperature (the wall should not be cold and wet).

When using staples, the wall should not have pits and bumps, inflated plaster or cracks.

Glue

Before gluing, the wall must be carefully examined for cracks. If there are drops of more than 5 mm, plastering and puttying work must be carried out.

They purchase a glue designed for working with wood and follow this plan:

1. The wall is cleaned of dust and primed. Let the surface dry.
2. Dilute the glue according to the instructions.
3. The adhesive solution is applied to the wall with a notched trowel.
4. The first strip is fixed in the corner.
5. The second panel is applied to the first and gently knocked out with a hammer. So that the 2 strips are connected. The spikes went into the grooves.
6. Each subsequent element is glued in a similar way to the end of the surface.

It must be remembered that until the glue dries up with the surface, no action can be taken.

If glue gets on the front side of the cladding, it must be immediately removed with a sponge or cloth. After drying, it will be difficult to do, and the appearance may be spoiled.

Staples

To fix the wooden cladding on the staples, markings must be made on the rough surface. According to this marking, the staples are fixed with self-tapping screws.

The first panel is installed in the corner of the surface and secured with a bracket. The next one is adjusted to the first and to the end of the wall.

Profile

The cladding is also carried out on a metal profile. This is the most time consuming option, but it has advantages.

To create the lathing, the surface is treated with an antiseptic.

After that, markings are made and a metal profile is attached to it. Sequence of work:

1. Installation of temporary beacons. They are fixed vertically in the corners. The thread is pulled between the beacons and the surface curvature is controlled. If the surface has drops (touches the thread), the beacons must be moved a certain distance.
2. After determining the location of the lathing, the metal profile is fixed. The vertical posts are attached to the wall in 30 cm increments, while fixing the slatted panels horizontally.
3. If the cladding is carried out vertically, then the profile must be fixed horizontally. The fastening step is equal to the width of the strip.
4. After the profile is installed, the panels are fixed on it with small self-tapping screws.

The panels are installed from the corner to the end of the wall. After fixing to the surface, you can carry out the following work: painting, sticking the film, wiping off the dust.

The use of wood panels in the apartment

Decorative 3d wood panels are often used in various techniques for decorating apartments to solve the designer's tasks for decorating a room. For example, using this type of products, you can make a partition inside a room, thereby dividing it into several zones without erecting additional load-bearing walls. Such a structure will look like a light structure, does not take up much space and is an excellent addition to the interior.

Since wood is a natural material, it can be used to create chalet or country-style designs. This style of interior decoration provides for the presence of elements from natural raw materials with minimal processing. Unfortunately, in the apartment there is no way to place boards or logs on the walls, therefore, in this case, panels with a texture that imitate an array of various types of wood are used.

Wooden panels in the bathroom

Not infrequently, these products are used in rooms with high humidity, for example, a bathroom or a toilet. To do this, panels based on a grid are glued to the wall, the glue is absorbed into the cells and contacts with wooden pieces, thus forming a monolithic connection. The wood is treated with a moisture-resistant composition, so it does not absorb water and does not dry out, and its appearance looks much more elegant than ceramics, besides, natural wood has excellent thermal insulation properties, which are much better than that of stone tiles.

Also, wooden 3d panels can be used in the kitchen as a highlight of the dining area or decoration of the facade of furniture. It should be noted that it is forbidden to place wood stoves above the working area of ​​the kitchen table and in the place where the gas or electric hob and oven are located. Even if the panels are treated with a refractory compound and other impregnations, exposure to high temperatures and the ingress of open fire on the surface can provoke a fire, therefore, this rule must be observed and the location of the product must be chosen correctly.

Advantages and disadvantages

Volumetric panels have many advantages:

Aesthetics. Decorating walls or ceilings with 3D wood panels instantly transforms any space: it immediately becomes more beautiful and interesting. This finish effectively emphasizes the good taste of the owner of the apartment. Modern technologies allow you to choose any pattern, shade and finish of the material. You can complement the panels with elements of leather, textiles, glass or imitate honeycomb

You can also order these backlit panels.

Environmental friendliness
In modern conditions, it is especially important to pay attention to the environment, to take care of it. Since wooden panels are made of natural material, they are absolutely safe for human health and all living things.
Natural wood does not provoke an aggravation of allergic reactions, which means that such panels can be mounted even in the bedroom and children's room.

• Durability. If you install the panels correctly with the help of a wizard or even with your own hands, they will last quite a long time. After all, everyone knows that wood is one of the most durable materials, so these volumetric panels will delight the home owner for more than a dozen years.
• Practicality. You do not have to spend a lot of time on finishing care - it is enough to wipe the volumetric panels from time to time to remove dust from them. Manufacturers also recommend rubbing the structure with special wax from time to time to give the strips shine and increase their resistance to external influences.
• Moisture resistance. Unlike flat panels, volumetric options resist moisture much better - they do not deteriorate or deform from water. This is due to the fact that during production, structural parts are covered with a special laminating film, and also treated with a water-repellent impregnation.

Despite the large number of advantages, such panels have several disadvantages.

For example, before choosing such a material for decorating your home, you should pay attention to the fact that it is highly susceptible to atmospheric fluctuations: any changes in temperature or humidity can affect the external data of the entire structure. In addition to this factor, there is another drawback: their relatively high cost

However, to a greater extent, this applies to panels that are completely made of solid natural wood.

But for those looking to save some money, there is a great alternative. It is worth choosing hybrid designs that are made from natural wood and, for example, from MDF. You can also opt for panels that are completely made from cheaper raw materials: bamboo, plywood, MDF or chipboard. Analogs of wooden 3D panels made of pressed bamboo are very popular. Outwardly, they practically do not differ from a real tree, but at the same time they are much cheaper.

Peculiarities

3D panels are strips of the same size with applied volumetric patterns of different nature. Structural elements are usually rectangular or square. After installation, the individual strips form a single beautiful canvas, and the joints of the parts remain almost invisible. To slightly reduce the cost of the panels, their base and front side are made of different materials. For example, plywood or MDF is most often chosen for the base, which are treated with special compounds to improve their characteristics.

For the outer side of volumetric panels, natural wood is usually chosen: ash, oak, chopped wood and other environmentally friendly materials.

All parts of the planks are equipped with special fasteners, which guarantees a tight connection of the parts to each other. In addition, this fastening technology greatly facilitates and speeds up the installation process. Modern volumetric panels are characterized by a long service life - sometimes for maximum durability, the panels are covered with a layer of special wax, as well as environmental safety and a wide variety of colors, textures and sizes. However, the cost of such a finishing material is quite high.

Module specifications:

• width - 400 mm;
• length - 200 mm;
• thickness - 8-15 mm;
• weight of 1 sq. m - 6 kg.

The parameters of the panels may differ depending on what material they are made of.

Selection Tips

When choosing wooden 3D planks, you should focus on several parameters:

General interior style

It is important that the materials match the color and successfully complement the design of the room, and do not contradict it.

The quality of the material. You should not save on the slats - because if their price is quite high, then in relation to their service life, it becomes not a waste of money, but a profitable investment.

Appointment of the room

For ordinary residential or office spaces, panels of any material are suitable. However, if you want to decorate a room with high humidity with decorative strips, then you need to select the appropriate type of material for this, which would correspond to the operating conditions.
