Have you ever considered using wood as a form of decorative wall paneling? When remodeling or building a project, the appearance of wood paneling looks stunning in any interior or exterior project. Although wood is a great design choice, using real wood can be expensive and possibly lead to long term issues down the line. With faux wood panels, you can help mitigate these issues while still maintaining the visual appearance of real wood!
Issues with using Real Wood
Using real wood can come with many issues especially when using it as a wall accent and paneling. Wood naturally absorbs water and moisture through the air which creates unwanted mold and warping. Wood buckling is also a common issue with real wood panels. Even with preventative measures, changes in humidity and temperature can’t be helped. There is also the problem of potential pests that can deal damage to the wood paneling. This makes real wood maintenance and repairs a constant hassle and costly. On top of all that, real wood is expensive to attain, especially with certain types and colors.
