To date, many progressive materials easily displacing the products already loved by many. Some such a tendency may not like, however, it can be said for sure that new types of building materials are distinguished by high quality, as well as an acceptable price. This product can be easily attributed to the wall 3D panels, which in recent years have gained colossal prevalence. First of all, the reason for the popularity of the material is its modern appearance.

The three-dimensional panels differ in the original texture and color, which makes this product quite unusual. Good news also lies in the fact that prices for 3D panels and ordinary gypsum products are almost similar. Accordingly, it makes sense to make a choice in favor of the "progressive" finish option.
Despite the fact that the material is inexpensive, it is actively used in a huge number of modern buildings. With a proper approach, three-dimensional panels easily emphasize the original design style of the room. Moreover, even in the most inconspicuous home, such a material will look more than stylish. Experienced designers easily use wall 3D panels for a visual increase in space. It turns out very well.
On the above things, as well as on the installation of three-dimensional panels, we will talk in this material.
Main features of wall 3D panels
The most interesting thing is that three-dimensional panels are started on a personal computer. It is about the fact that the manufacturer who produces such products must first create a three-dimensional model. The quality of this model should be the highest possible so that each three-dimensional element looks high quality.
And only after that the industrial stage of the release of the panels begins. In this case, the most suitable finishing material is selected, as well as a method for applying three-dimensional textures. Often, modern installations are used in such industries, having something in common with 3D printers.
Well, at the last stage there is a decorative finish of the panels. We are talking about painting products, or about veneering or enaming. These are peculiar protective surfaces that will allow the panels to operate for long years.
As for directly applying panels, they are often used in designer purposes. The bottom line is that the wall panels can be used in modest amounts, for example, to cover the area of \u200b\u200bthe wall located behind the TV or shelves. Such designer httybz looks actually chic.
Despite such elementary changes in the design, few of the usual owners can create something worthwhile. There is a high probability that the created composition may simply be combined with other elements of the room. With this situation, it is best to use the Internet, where you can find thousands of finished design solutions, which in any case will look attractive.
Materials used to release 3D panels
To date, there are really many materials for the manufacture of wall 3D-panels. There are expensive and not very options, but first of all you need to concentrate on their appearance, since in terms of quality they are all approximately the same.
- Polymeric materials. Now the polymer materials are used in almost all areas of human activity. Their main feature is durability. However, such products can easily damage. Therefore, it is necessary to use such three-dimensional panels only in the places items hard to access. Some owners make a choice in favor of three-dimensional polymer panels for the reason that they may have an original colors.
- MDF. Immediately it should be noted that the panels made on the basis of MDF differ in extremely high price. Such products are made based on the hot pressing method, so the surface texture is incredibly beautiful. Due to the high cost, such panels are best used for partial wall decoration.
- Fiberboard and chipboard. These wood versions of three-dimensional panels are used significantly less often products from the above materials. Despite the attractive appearance of such panels, they do not tolerate high humidity. Thus, it should be avoided similar products, or use in isolated premises.
- Aluminum. This material is the most common option for the release of three-dimensional panels. It is worth saying that the application of the 3D drawing occurs on the basis of the perforation method. Next, the material is covered with a protective polymer film that makes the material quite durable. This option is resistant to high humidity, corrosion, and easily resist contamination. Moreover, the material is non-combustible. Accordingly, aluminum products can be used practically in any conditions. The cost of such 3D panels is low.
- Gypsum. The three-dimensional panels made on the basis of plaster are also used quite often. They have an excellent appearance due to the qualitative formation of gypsum in the form. As for other positive parties to the material, it is possible to note the possibility of using gypsum panels at different levels of humidity. In private homes, this is a fairly important factor.
- Wood. These are the most expensive options for wall panels. In this case, one-piece wood plates are used that have fixed dimensions. "Three-dimension" of such panels is limited only to a small volumetric pattern. The thing is that wood is a soft resource that is very easy to damage when processing.
Most often, the choice of hosts is based on the appearance of the panels, but at the cost of products. However, in this case, the price issue is not as important, since most 3D panels are approximately one price niche (if you do not take into account the panels from solid wood).
You can find wall panels in the form of tiles. They have different dimensions and weight, so in front of any repair work should determine the material option and set its dimensions so that it does not prevent this in the repair process.
3D panels in housing design
It is worth separately analyzing the process of choosing three-dimensional panels for the home.
As already mentioned, it is best to make a choice in favor of ready-made designer solutions, which are a lot of worldwide network. In the event that I want to experiment, you should pay attention to some important points.
- Using panels in large rooms. Indeed, the 3D panels are often equipped in large rooms, where it is possible to implement the elected design. It is in such conditions that the panels will look most attractive and appropriate. At the same time, the walls are completely not covered with panels, as it is often customary to decorate only parts of the walls in order to emphasize the attention of residents and guests only on separate parts of the room. It is also worth knowing that the installation of three-dimensional panels occurs in the hall and bedroom, in the rest of the premises the material will not be completely combined with other present objects.
- Arrangement of point lighting. Often, when arranging three-dimensional panels, lamps are installed, which not only create comfort in the room, but also emphasize the unique appearance of the panels. Indeed, under the rays of light texture of 3D panels looks simply amazing. But it should be borne in mind that before installing point luminaires, attention should be paid to their location, since at one corner of the panel will look ridiculous, and under another - it is very good.
- Bright colors and patterns. Do not forget that a distinctive feature of three-dimensional panels is the presence of a colossal number of options for this product. Accordingly, vivid color solutions are used with considerable demand, as well as a variety of patterns. However, most often such panels are used only if the room is executed in some kind of design style. In this case, the owners are trapped directly to the manufacturer who will make a panel for individual orders without any problems.
Installation of 3D panels on the walls
Installing three-dimensional wall panels, regardless of the material on which the product is based, is carried out in two ways:
- installation on a metal frame;
- installation by sticking to the surface.
The second option, of course, is the easiest and most profitable, but in the first case we will get a reliable design that will last for many years, and if necessary, the panel can be replaced with others.
Metal carcass
First you need to say that the metal frame is often used precisely for the reason that it is able to withstand heavy loads. Thus, it may be a massive 3D panels, which under no circumstances are deformed and will not be shown on the furnished surface.
- Creating a frame is based on profiles that are often used in the construction of the base for plasterboard structures. It will be enough vertical profiles, while you should always have a construction level with yourself to instantly determine at least the slightest deviations. In the event that the surface will be obvious, the three-dimensional panels will also look ugly.
- The distance between the main profiles of the frame and the wall is provided with suspension. All elements are fastened with self-tapping screws.
- During installation, it is necessary to determine the step of the vertical profiles so that you can further successfully fasten all the wall panels. After installing the frame, check the structure for strength. To do this, you just need to pull the framework, but should not overdo it.
- Next occurs directly by the installation of three-dimensional panels. The mount is carried out using self-tapping screws. It should be borne in mind that it is necessary to mount the screws in the same places.
There are some more important points that need to be said. First of all, it should be borne in mind that certain types of wall panels may be slightly deformed after changing the temperature mode. This suggests that after the acquisition, it is necessary to place wall products in the room where the repair will occur. There are panels must be within two days. The material will ensure its final form, after which it will be possible to safely install.
You can also use the fact that there is free space between the panels and the wall. Many people use it for mounting insulation or sound insulation.
Panels on adhesive
In this case, there is nothing complicated, but you need to understand that before mounting the wall panels should be perfectly smooth. Accordingly, it will have to lift the surface by checking each square centimeter of the wall by a building level.
Most often, liquid nails are needed for such events. Such products are characterized by the fact that in this case the panels will be enshrined "tight", and it will not be possible to separate them from the wall in conventional ways. Therefore, the installation process must be carefully, not allowing and the slightest errors.
The application of glue occurs horizontally, and the lines of glue are located along the entire length of the upper and lower parts of the panels, as well as in the middle. After that, the material is tightly pressed against the wall, and for a couple of minutes is held. Each of the panels need to be pressed the same, so that it does not turn out that some products are towers over the rest.
It should be borne in mind that during such works between 3D panels, small gaps should remain, which will allow the material to freely expand and narrow. As already mentioned, under the action of temperature drops, it is quite possible.
