Wall Panelling FAQ
What are ready made wall panels?
Ready made wall panel kits are pre-manufactured sets of interior wall panels available in various styles, from traditional tongue-and-groove to modern designs with straight edges and precise angles. They allow you to achieve different looks based on your preference. All our kits are moisture-resistant and designed for quick installation in any room.
How thick should MDF be for panelling?
Wall panelling is best made from 6mm MDF or 9mm MDF. This is enough to give the right aesthetic and still allow standard 18mm thick mouldings to protrude enough to stand out and become a visual feature. This is particularly true if the wall panelling style is a wainscoting which is a real trend in hallways. For board and batten style panelling, a thicker MDF is fine. However, increasing the thickness of the MDF increases the cost, so keeping the MDF to around 9mm thickness is a good option for DIY on a budget.
How do you install wall panels?
The installation process depends on the type and design of the wall panels you choose. Generally, it involves measuring and preparing the wall, cutting panels to size, and attaching them securely using adhesive or nails. For detailed, step-by-step guidance, it’s best to watch video tutorials specific to your panel style. We have tutorials covering wainscot, Jacobean, moulded frames, geometric and tongue-and-groove panels available on our YouTube channel.
Should you remove skirting before panelling?
Best practice would be to remove your skirting boards, install panelling and then re-fit the skirting board. However, this creates some complications. Most notably, it may mean that your skirting board now sits out too far and protrudes further than your architrave, which is a real headache! Most DIYers prefer to keep the skirting board in place and put their panelling on top of the skirting. This is fine if the top edge of your skirting board is thicker than the MDF you are using to create the panelling strips. If the top edge of the skirting board is thin, you may want to consider using a scotia moulding fitted thin-side down on top of your skirting board to transition to a thicker top edge for the panelling strips to sit on.
