When renovating a house or apartment, there comes a moment when we have to make a decision regarding the finishing of the walls. This choice may be a challenge, but it’s nothing to worry about. In addition to traditional paints, we also offer wallpapers, tiles and more. An interesting choice will be wall covering, which will add elegance and character to any interior.
Wall Covering: What is it?
Wall cladding is nothing more than a finishing or decorative material that covers ordinary walls. There are many types of cladding available, such as ceramic tiles, stone tiles, brick-like tiles and PVC cladding. Tiles are still the most popular choice for investors due to their aesthetic appearance and functionality. Tiles such as glazed tiles, terracotta or stoneware are perfect for humid rooms, such as kitchens and bathrooms, due to their resistance to moisture. Stone tiles, especially marble and granite, offer a luxurious alternative. Their beauty is combined with durability and resistance to moisture. Brick-like tiles, in turn, are an ideal solution for brick lovers in interior design.
PVC Wall Cladding: Choosing Practicality and Visual Effect
PVC wall cladding is a material made of hard PVC foil that can imitate ceramic tiles, wood structure or even wallpaper. It is easy to install and extremely practical. It works well in both the kitchen and bathroom because it is waterproof. Moreover, it is resistant to mechanical damage and easy to clean.
Other Wall Finishing Options
In addition to tiles, there are many other ways to finish walls. We can choose concrete slabs, sheet metal, brick, wallpaper, 3D panels, wood or wainscoting. The choice depends on our preferences, current trends, room size and budget. For those who desire luxury, Corian is an excellent option. It is an elegant, smooth and durable material, resistant to changing temperatures, water and abrasion.
Installation of Wall Cladding
The installation of the cladding depends on the selected material. PVC flooring is relatively easy to install yourself, without the need to hire professionals. All you need to do is prepare the substrate properly – clean, dry and degreased. The PVC sheets are then cut to the desired size and glued to the wall. Installing ceramic tiles or natural stones requires a little more attention. Preparing the substrate and choosing the right adhesives and joints are crucial. Good tools such as trowels, levels and spacers will help you lay the tiles accurately. After laying and cleaning the joint, we grout it. If you are not confident in your skills, it is worth using the help of an experienced specialist who will ensure accuracy and durability of the installation. Choosing wall coverings is a step towards a beautifully finished interior. This decision depends on our preferences, budget and desire to create an elegant and functional environment.
