Installing durable wall coverings in your home can help to refresh your environment while adding value to your home. Upgrading your interior can be simple with wall coverings as well as affordable.
First, What are Wall Coverings?
Wall coverings are sheets of lightweight material that are ready to cut to size to meet your needs. They come in prefabricated sizes and are often simple to trim or resize using a utility knife and ruler. These coverings are directly installed onto existing walls using an adhesive, reducing the need for specialized tools. Wall coverings can be utilized to create a range of different designs to meet your aesthetic choices. The designs you can create are endless and there is also the option to create a seamless, clean look by utilizing floor to ceiling wall panel options.
Below are some of the great benefits of upgrading your home using wall coverings.
Benefits of Wall Coverings Over Drywall
Cost
Budget is always a big consideration when starting any home improvement project. Luckily, wall coverings are affordable and easy to install, which helps to reduce labor costs. Up front, drywall and paint may appear cheaper, but the labor hours quickly add up. Furthermore, wall coverings offer a durable finish, resulting in easier long-term maintenance.
Installation
As above, the installation process for drywall is time consuming, whereas wall coverings can be completed quickly and easily. Wall coverings also typically only use adhesive, reducing the materials and tools necessary to complete the project. Installing wall coverings can be done yourself, without needing to hire professionals. Just be sure to always read the manufacturer’s instructions and measure twice, cut once!
Aesthetic
Wall coverings can offer a range of different visual impacts throughout your home. These coverings come in a range of styles, colors, textures and finishes. This offers a significant degree of customization to meet your overall style and needs. The clean lines offered by wall coverings also add an effortless touch of elegance. Wall coverings can be cut to size easily to create any design you imagine, and coverings can be installed both vertically and horizontally with ease. Mixing and matching different wall coverings is also an option. This allows you to have a range of colors or finishes in a single room, without adding significant labor hours.
Safety and Comfort
Wall coverings are often both waterproof and fire resistant. This adds an additional layer of safety to your home, and reduces the risk of potential damage. Additionally, many wall coverings offer more insulation to your home making your living spaces more comfortable. Parkland Performance’s DuroTherm and Insulex wall panels provide extra insulation, which helps reduce future heating and cooling costs as they make your home more efficient.
Environmental Impact
Considering the environmental impact of the materials you use for your home improvement projects is worthwhile. For example, Parkland Performance PLAS-TEX wall coverings are made from 100% recycled plastics. Parkland Performance also have UL GREENGUARD Certification for low-emissions.
Maintenance
Wall coverings are known for their durability. This means you will not have to worry about holes, dents or scratches on your newly finished walls. Furthermore, cleaning them simply requires a wipe with a damp cloth. This means that it is easier than ever to keep your home looking new and fresh, even years after the remodel.
Wall coverings offer you a simple yet customizable way to upgrade your home.
