Comparison of PVC panels and wooden panels

When you plan to decorate your interior space. The first thing you need to consider is what type of materials to use. The two most common choices are wood materials and PVC materials (PVC wall panels, ceilings, timber tubes, etc.). This article will discuss and compare the differences between PVC panels and wooden panels in various aspects.

Wooden wall panel

Wooden panels are made from wood materials tightly bonded under pressure using adhesives for added strength. Wood panels are generally flat and are commonly used in doors, walls, ceilings, and floors. Common types of wood include mahogany, cedar, and pressure-treated pine.

PVC materials are made of a mixture of wood fibers and plastics. With the advancement of the times and the development of technology. The performance of PVC composite materials is getting higher and higher, and its applications are becoming more and more extensive. The main choice is high-performance PVC materials.

Pros and cons of PVC panels and wooden panels

Many homeowners choose wood siding because it is familiar, easy to obtain, and inexpensive. At the same time, some common problems with wooden wall panels. Such as debris, mold, and relatively high maintenance costs, will cause people a lot of trouble. In comparison, PVC wall panels require almost no maintenance. At the same time, with the advancement of technology. The appearance of PVC wall panels has become richer and more beautiful.

When evaluating PVC wall panels and wooden wall panels, the following key issues need to be considered:

Surface

Due to technical reasons, the early composite materials have a strong sense of plastic and few colors to choose from. With the continuous development of PVC material technology. It is already possible to make wall panels with different natural wood grain and 3D relief patterns. 

Strength and Durability

Wood panels are stronger and more durable than gypsum board. However, wood panels are susceptible to mold, cracking, and insect damage. And traditional wood panels are heavier and absorb more heat than PVC panels. Traditional wood panels may warp or swell over time, making them very susceptible to damage and replacement.

PVC panels are made of plastic and are therefore more durable and resistant to mold, insects, moisture, and the elements. PVC panels are lighter in weight but have a more robust structure. Daily use will not wear down the surface of PVC panels, but sharp objects may damage your panels.

Water resistance

One of the key problems of the long-term use of wooden wallboards is water resistance. Which requires regular removal of stains, sealing, or painting, otherwise, the wooden wallboards are prone to warping, cracking, and mildew. In contrast, PVC materials have good water resistance, which allows them to be installed in high humidity environments without decay.

Maintain

In order to prolong the service life of wooden wall panels, homeowners must regularly perform maintenance work such as painting, dyeing, or sealing the wall panels, which requires a lot of time and money costs. Compared with PVC materials, composite wall panels only need to be cleaned or washed with soapy water to keep the panels beautiful.

Insect resistance

Unlike most wooden wall panels, PVC wall panels are not easily damaged by termites and other wood-damaging insects due to the characteristics of the materials used to make them. Termites and other insects cannot reproduce in them.

Price

Generally speaking, the purchase cost of wooden paneling is higher than that of PVC wall paneling. Although good wooden wall panels look more high-end, the subsequent annual maintenance prices are also high, and additional time costs are required. Of course, the price difference also depends on the type of wood selected and the brand of PVC wallboard, and local market conditions.

Optional

The color of the wooden wallboard is usually related to the wood grain and the type of wood. The more expensive the wood, the more expensive it is. The grain of wood panels usually looks more textured and can bring style, nature, and comfort to your space. Note, however, that due to the nature of wood, it does not reflect much sunlight, so additional lighting is required.

PVC wall panels can be customized in different colors and wood grain surfaces according to customer needs. Which is beneficial to adapt to different design ideas needs of customers.The PVC panel has a smooth and stylized surface that effectively prevents dust buildup. It is also highly resistant to fading, so it retains its original appearance even after a long period of use.
