Modern homes often feature durable finishes with sleek lines and monochromatic color schemes. To get these clean lines, wall panels are a great design choice. Learn where you can make smarter design choices for easy-care upgrades and a low-maintenance, high-performance home in this article.
Mudroom Addition or Upgrade
Adding a mudroom to your home is a great way to improve use and potentially rework unused space. Often, a mudroom is the first room off the garage or through an entryway; however, it can also be a room adjacent to an entryway. Mudrooms are the perfect solution for storing shoes, wet jackets, snow gear, sports equipment, and pet items. Utilizing waterproof wall panels like those available from Parkland Performance protects the substrate from moisture, while also protecting the walls from scratches and dents. Any marks, dirt, or mud spots are easy to clean off with a simple wipe. Wall panels are extremely durable, allowing you to have a spotless mudroom for years to come. Once the wall paneling is installed, add hooks, cubbies, and other storage solutions to meet the needs of your family.
Dedicated Laundry Space
Making a small space into a dedicated laundry room is a great option to improve the performance of your home. By containing the machines and dampness to one area, you can reduce the chance of mold within the home. By utilizing wall panels, you can create a fully waterproof laundry area, with walls that are resistant to swelling, bubbling, and mold.
Furthermore, the bright reflective finish of the wall panels can help the space to feel larger than it actually is. Adding waterproof flooring options like TPO flooring can further improve your laundry space, while making it easier than ever to clean spills and water.
Refresh the Garage
Looking to spruce up your garage while keeping it a functional space? Wall panels are impact-resistant, making them a great option for a well-used space. Tools, bikes, sports gear, and workshop activities will not cause damage to the panels, and the walls can simply be wiped clean of any scuffs. The durable wall panels will not crack or absorb smells as drywall does. This reduces future maintenance while creating a modern finish. For a more industrial aesthetic, consider utilizing a textured or colored wall panel over the common glossy white option.
Durable Kids Playroom
Kids, especially young kids, can cause significant damage to the walls and floors in your home. Whether it is drawing with markers on any available surface or toys hitting the wall, damage is bound to happen with standard drywall. With wall panels, however, these challenges are no longer a problem. Drawings can be wiped off, and the panels themselves are dent-resistant. To avoid a clinical finish, consider using a combination of wall panels with Polymax Wainscot®. Polymax Wainscot® is 100% waterproof, with a paintable finish, making it easy to match the aesthetic of your kids’ playroom and home. These planks are available in 3-foot or 8-foot lengths, with a width of 6 inches.
Bathroom Refresh
Ready to turn your bathroom into a relaxing retreat like space? Wall panels make this possible, especially as they reduce the maintenance needed in a typical bathroom space. Replace your hard-to-clean tile and grout with clean, simple wall panels that are 100% waterproof. Use a combination of different wall panel textures and colors to create distinct areas within the bathroom while keeping a cohesive feel and finish to the room.
Wall panels are a great way to upgrade your home while creating low-maintenance, high-performance spaces. Adding a dedicated laundry space and a mudroom can also help improve the value of your home. Enhance your living spaces and reduce your housework by utilizing wall panels during your renovation.
