Panels for wall decoration: instead of wood and with wood

By paneling the walls, homeowners always killed several birds with one stone. Firstly, the panels retain heat and absorb external noise. Secondly, they are less vulnerable than wallpaper or paint, so that the wall is protected from unpleasant accidents, such as hitting a ball or shoe. And finally, panels are a great way to refine the interior: they serve as a link between the floor and the wall, maintain color balance and visually improve the proportions of the room.

LDF - the pinnacle of evolution

Historically, wall panels were made of wood, but eco-friendly material was expensive, heavy and uneven in quality, so even in Russia, where wood was abundant, at the beginning of the last century it was increasingly replaced with gypsum - relatively inexpensive and light, but fragile. Later, he was replaced by a cheap and durable plastic. But he did not take root in the status rooms because of the simple appearance and dubious environmental properties. The problem was solved with the advent of LDF - a lightweight and durable material that preserves all the advantages of wood.

In English it is called LDF (Low Density Fiberboard), which means “low density fiberboard”. In the process of processing, wood fibers are first completely freed from impurities, and then bound with lignin, that is, a natural resin. This technology has gained particular popularity in Canada and the USA, where, on the one hand, British solidity is valued in interiors, and on the other, they rightly believe that time is money. The fact is that perfect geometry and a completely homogeneous surface of the panels accelerate installation and decoration.

Ultrawood for the wall and for the soul

Ultrawood wall panels come with factory primed paint. This means that the flight of fantasy is not limited by anything - you can choose any color and choose the desired shade. And this is not only about the interior, which is created from scratch: with the help of panels you can quickly and effectively transform the room without changing the floor and wall coverings.

In this case, the key to success is unlimited color gamut, complementing and shading the palette that has already been used in the interior. In addition, Ultrawood products go well with a wide variety of finishes.

The panels are equally appropriate in a traditional interior where the floor is laid with typeset parquet, in the ultra-modern - with a concrete floor and where long rustic boards lie on the floor. Their smooth surface will organically fit into the living room with patterned wallpaper, into the kitchen, where ceramic tiles are on the wall, and into a simple monochrome bedroom. This is a universal element that will come in handy everywhere.

However, there are places where the use of panels is just obvious. For example - a section of the wall under the windows in a country house where there are no batteries. Or a narrow corridor with a high ceiling in a city apartment. Or, on the contrary, a too "squat" room.

The result depends on how you divide the wall into parts. If you sew it high, the ceiling will visually lower, and if you confine yourself to finishing the area adjacent to the baseboard, on the contrary, it will rise. In addition, the walls can be decorated selectively, alternating panels with painted or glued fragments.

Be inspired by whatever you want - childhood memories, magazine samples, or travel experiences: in any case, you will not only enjoy the result, but also the process. You yourself will be surprised at how he carries away, and appreciate the ability of Ultrawood panels to awaken creativity.
