Designing, measuring, cutting and installing your own wall panelling can take a lot of time. The good news is there’s a great alternative for those in a hurry – fast panelling sheets! The clue is in the name – sheets of panels that are ready to be installed making the whole process quicker and easier.
Read on to discover everything you need to know about how to create beautiful wall panelling quickly, with fast panelling sheets…
Fast Panel Sheets Explained
Fast Panelling sheets are the quickest solution to installing wall panelling in your home on the market. Made from FSC-Certified sustainably sourced timber, the panelling sheets are highly durable and so much more efficient than traditional methods of installing wood panelling.
With two styles available – bead and butt and v-groove, the panel sheets are designed to be secured directly to your wall. There’s no measuring or cutting required, and because the sheets measure 811mm x 400mm, it’s much faster to fit panelling using sheets over individual panels.
The sheets are 4mm thick, which means they can sit directly on top of your skirting board and will fit flush to the wall. Easy to slot together for a seamless finish, the final result is a timeless panelled wall that looks as if it has been made bespoke and fitted piece by piece.
Fast panelling sheets are ideal for anyone that has little time to commit to DIY, or that feels uneasy about having to measure, cut and fit individual wall panels. In addition, they are perfect if you are up against a tight deadline and need to get a room finished as soon as possible.
How to Install Fast Panelling Sheets
All you need to fit your panelling sheets is a strong adhesive such as No Nails Adhesive. Here’s a step by step guide to walk you through the process…
- Use a pencil to mark on your wall where you will be applying your panels to act as a guide.
- Take your adhesive and apply it to your first panel sheet as well as on the wall where you intend to place your panel.
- Carefully stick your panel to the wall, placing it on top of your skirting board and using this as a guide to make sure your panelling is straight.
- Next apply adhesive to another panel and slot it into place by connecting it to the previous panel using the butt join. This will create a seamless finish and ensure there are no gaps.
- Repeat this process until you have panelled all of the area that you want to install wall panelling.
- Next use a decorators caulk to fill the gaps where the panelling meets the wall all around the edges.
- Wait for the caulk and adhesive to dry before you then go on to sand, prime and paint your panels.
Wall Panelling Benefits
Wall panelling is a great addition to any home, new or old. Wall panels are timeless in style, making them a great investment as they won’t date or go out of fashion. Homes with panelled walls are often highly sought after and are a feature that many people actively look for when looking for a new property.
Panelling is incredibly versatile and can be used almost anywhere in the home. From bathrooms and kitchens as an alternative to tiles, to hallways, bedrooms and reception rooms, wall panelling will instantly add interest and a high-end finish to any space. In addition, panelling can be painted any colour to suit your decor, and can easily be updated when needed with a fresh lick of paint.
Many people love panelling but feel like it would be too complicated to install themselves, or that it would cost a lot to get a professional in to do the job. The truth is that panelling is far easier to install than you might think, especially if you use a panelling kit creator, or better yet, fast panelling sheets.
Fast panelling sheets take away all of the time consuming elements related to installing wall panelling. Not only do you avoid having to measure and cut individual panels, but you also won’t have to stick individual panels to the wall either. You can have a fully panelled room in as little as a couple of hours.
Fast panelling sheets are available to purchase as single sheets for smaller projects, or as a pack of 9. If you’ve always loved the look of wall panelling but you’ve not been sure where to start, fast panelling sheets make it easier than ever to bring your panelling dreams to reality!
