Initially, the technique of wall paneling is utilized to create an insulating layer between the interior space and the wall. Nowadays, wall paneling exhibits amazing aesthetic values along with functional outcomes. Wall panels in Dubai are manufactured with various materials such as wood, concrete, metal, gypsum, plywood, acrylic, fiberglass, vinyl, and PVC. In addition, MDF (medium-density fiberboard) and FRP (fiberglass reinforced panels) are the two most common wall paneling materials due to their flexible and resilient nature.

Factors To Consider While Choosing Wall Paneling Style
Before choosing any paneling style or type, you should keep in mind the multiple aspects such as wainscotting vs. full wall, scale, pattern, paint color, sheen, stain, trim work, wallpapering, etc.
Full Paneling Or Wainscotting
The most important factor to consider is finalizing the full wall-length paneling or wainscotting. In full wall-length paneling, the entire wall is covered with panels of any design and type. In wainscotting, half of the wall is covered with panels, and the rest of the portion is covered with contrasting paint or wallpaper. Both these designs fabricate an elegant and decent wall appearance due to their unique texture. Now, you can opt for any way of paneling following your wall specifications.
Consider Pattern & Scale
The next significant aspect to analyze is the patterns and scales of the panels. Before choosing any pattern or scale, you should know the dimensions of your walls. If it has small surfaces, you should choose a pattern and scale that can easily be designed on the wall without maximum cutting. Because extensive cutting of panels on small-sized walls can give an awkward appearance. Moreover, it will take more time to install panels due to extra cutting and work. However, for large surface areas, you can choose panels with lengthy patterns or scales.
Incorporating Trim Work & Wallpaper
While designing the final layout, you should consider the necessary trim work for baseboards, moldings, chair rails, electrical boards, windows, or doors. You should consult with your designer to leave all this space in the final design and drafting to avoid any inconvenience. In addition, if you want to utilize the wainscoting paneling style, you should also leave the top space for wallpaper. By considering all these aspects, trimmed panels can be easily installed on the wall without any space and fixing errors.
Appropriate Color, Stain, Or Sheen
In paneling ideas, the color, stain, or sheen have significant importance due to their cozy, warmth, and mind-blowing effects. After finalizing the paneling design and style, you should pay attention to choosing the appropriate color, stain, or sheen finish. Always consider the stain or color that can bold your overall surface texture with a modern ambiance. Moreover, you can also put high-quality sheen such as satin or semi-glass for a final finishing touch.
Popular Wall Paneling Types
Different types of paneling ideas can be used to decorate the walls in entryways, living rooms, mudrooms, bedrooms, hallways, home offices, or dining rooms. Beadboard, shiplap, drop siding, board-and-batten, V-groove, 3D, and rustic planking are the most popular wall paneling types.
Beadboard
In beadboard paneling, the wooden strips of 2 ½ inches are fixed on the walls with beaded edges. At the joining ends, these strips are molded in curved to form a refined joint. These wooden strips add elegance and decency to your wall surface. The beadboard strips are crafted in a wide range of thicknesses & styles per your preferences.
Shiplap
The most popular paneling type is mostly utilized on outside walls. In this paneling type, long horizontal boards of concrete or wood are installed on the wall with little space of ⅛ inch between them. In this type, mostly MDF boards are used with nickel spacing.
Drop Siding
Drop Siding is also another version of shiplap but in this paneling type, we vertically used wooden boards instead of horizontal patterns. The space between these boards is left for water shedding and also covered with beads of variable thickness.
Board And Batten
In board and batten paneling type, we cover the joints of the large board with long narrow strips on the wall. These strips are crafted with wood to get a layered and geometric effect on the wall surface. This textured design can enhance the ambiance of the wall interior with vertical patterns of strips and grooves.
V-Groove
This paneling type also resembles some other styles such as board batten and drop siding. But in this type, periodically placed grooves have V-shaped textures and appearances. The wooden strips of variable thickness are joined together in the tongue and groove method. The groove areas can be colored with some contrasting paint colors to enhance the outlook.
Rustic Planking
In this type, an ancient wall look is crafted by fixing the rustic or nailed-up wooden planks. This classical wall finish is most commonly utilized on the farmhouse walls. The sharp edges of planks are trimmed to get a complete rustic or barn appearance. We can also paint these wooden planks with multiple colors to create a final finish following your rooms’ decor.
