Introduction
Flat walls with conventional designs are giving way to modern interiors. A curved partition, a curved column, a bold reception area, architecture – all of these can help give a space character – but not all of these surfaces are easy to cover using traditional, rectilinear materials. Bendable wood veneer wall panels are a convenient solution to bring the cozy, elegant look of wood and integrate it into more innovative interior shapes.
The bendable veneer options available from Wall Decor Center are suitable for both residential and commercial use and are an attractive choice for homeowners, designers, contractors, offices, retail, and hospitality interiors.
Why Choose Bendable Wood Veneer Wall Panels?
The greatest benefit of flexible wall panels is the flexibility in design. The flexible panels are better suited to curved surfaces and can be used with certain architectural features, if they are planned and installed correctly.
This presents new opportunities for designers looking for the look and feel of natural wood when they aren't confined to traditional rectangular walls.
Currently, Wall Decor Center provides commercial wood veneer panels of White Oak, Blackwood and Ash which are said to be waterproof and bendable, in 108"x48" dimensions. An infinity style design is also available with a Pandora Granite wood veneer.
Create Striking Curved Feature Walls
A curved feature wall can be a focal point in a living room, reception area, restaurant or showroom or luxury retail setting. Wood veneer can be used to add texture and warmth to the surface without leaving the surface painted.
The lighter shades will harmonize with minimalist and Scandinavian-style rooms, and the darker shades will provide a better contrast and enhance the room's drama.
Transform Structural Columns into Design Features
The interior design can usually be viewed as something that is difficult and problematic, but if the interior design column could be finished well, then it would turn into a deliberate architectural element.
Bendable wood veneer panels can be used to wrap around the appropriate rounded columns to tie them in with feature walls, counters, or cabinetry. The important thing is to carefully measure and prepare the surface since the curve and method of installation will impact the final outcome.
Add Character to Commercial Interiors
Textured surfaces are a popular feature in modern interior design, particularly in restaurant, hotel, office, boutique, salon and reception spaces, which are all increasingly featuring textured surfaces to create memorable interiors. Wood veneer wall panels offer flexibility and can be used to make commercial spaces not so plain.
The wood-look finish can be used to create a sense of continuity behind the reception area, around specific columns, or in a curved, branded wall, without dominating the space.
Plan the Installation Carefully
Not all panels are necessarily bendable and should not be bent around any curve. Before installation, the condition of the substrate, curve radius, panel orientation, cutting method, adhesive, seams and trims should be taken into consideration.
If you are looking for demanding curved applications, ensure the chosen panel and installation technique is suitable, before you start cutting the material. Careful planning will help minimise waste and create better transitions.
Conclusion
Foldable wood veneer wall panels provide more flexibility to designers to break away from the traditional use of flat wall panels. They offer a range of design options and are used in various applications, such as curved feature walls, decorative columns, reception areas, and commercial interiors, all while maintaining a timeless and natural look using wood-inspired design.
