Materials Used To Create A Wood Panel Feature Wall
Several types of wood are suitable for panelling, and we can use them to create a wood panel feature wall. Some common types may include plywood, hardwood, softwood, MDF, and particle board. Each type of wood has its unique grain pattern and colour, giving your feature wall a unique look. These materials are cut to size and assembled to create the desired effect. You can also stain or paint the wood to create a different result.
- Plywood – Plywood is a manufactured wood product bonding together multiple layers of wood veneer. The veneers used in plywood are typically thin sheets of wood peeled from trees. Plywood is an engineered wood product that is strong and versatile, making it ideal for various construction applications.
- Hardwood Panel Feature Wall – Hardwoods are typically denser and more durable than softwoods, making them ideal for various applications. Some common hardwoods include oak, maple, and cherry.
- Softwood – Softwood does not refer to the hardness of the wood but rather to the fact that these trees have softer wood fibres than hardwood trees. It makes softwood easier to cut and shape, which is why it is often used for construction purposes.
- MDF – MDF is an acronym for Medium Density Fiberboard. MDF is a type of fiberboard that is made from wood fibres that have been glued together with synthetic resin. The wood fibres are usually recycled from sawdust or other types of wood waste. MDF is denser than particle board and has a smoother surface. It is often used for making cabinets, furniture, and mouldings.
- Particle Board – Particle board is made from wood chips, shavings, and sawdust glued together with resin. The boards are then pressed and heated to create a solid piece of material. Particle board is often used in constructing furniture and cabinetry because it is inexpensive and easy to work with.
