3D MDF panels in the interior

An innovative and very unusual way of finishing the premises is the use of 3D MDF panels made of fibreboard. They are valued not only for the fact that it is an environmentally friendly and safe for human health decoration material, but also for a very original design. As a result of processing on special equipment, the surface of the plate contains three-dimensional geometric effects, waves, thread, and so on. The use of MDF-panels performs not only decorative, but also practical role as thermal insulation., because they are mounted on the crate, and the space between the wall and the facade, if desired, the client is filled with insulation. And thanks to special protective coatings, 3D MDF panels will serve their owner for many years.

3D effect plates are obtained by gluing wood fibers. At the same time, the cost of the final product is obtained significantly lower than natural wood.For the production method is used pressing at high temperature. Accordingly, there are different forms for different panel collections.

Usually, a sheet of 280x120 cm is used for the production of such plates, and the panel thickness as a result can reach 3 cm. The desired ornament is created on a special machine with the help of milling equipment. In the catalogs of manufacturing companies, customers can choose, as a rule, about fifty relief figures for application. You can even embody a personal print on the design of the client, but it will cost many times more. Then the plate is ground and covered with a protective varnish, paint or veneer. And also at the request of the MDF panel can be decorated with abrasive particles.

Among the positive qualities of such a finishing material, we note:

• large selection of textures, shades and reliefs;
• a room with such decor becomes visually voluminous;
• ease of installation and a minimum of preparatory work;
• strength and durability;
• able to hide defects on the walls or engineering communications;
• good sound and heat insulation;
• moisture resistance - suitable for rooms with a humidity level of up to 80%;

• fire safety;
• environmental friendliness and safety for health;
• unique and unusual design;
• various reliefs of panels will fit into any style of an interior;
• the color of the panels can be changed over time, or use gold leaf for decoration.
• do not even absorb strong odors;
• resistant to external influences and mechanical damage.

3D MDF panels can have different textures and prints, decorating not only the walls, but also the ceiling, partitions and even furniture. Unlike conventional gypsum wall panels, innovative furniture with a three-dimensional effect can, for example, decorate furniture or interior doors. Since the panels are made of natural materials and do not pose a threat to health, you can trim them with living quarters, where we spend maximum free time - for example, the living room, bedroom or nursery.Although experts caution the owners that some ornaments may tire the eyes, it is therefore recommended to carefully approach the choice of texture.

You can use the panel for zoning premises. But also a spectacular design technique is the creation of relief zones on the walls to create a modern interior. For example, you can lay out such panels chimney zone or any place that you would like to allocate in the room. 3D panels from MDF can cover both the entire wall and its part. For example, a volumetric wall covering can be created in the background of the sofa zone, or they can arrange a bar counter in the living room.

The panels can be installed along the length or width of the room, as well as create any shapes and patterns - you are limited only by imagination. And to further emphasize the effect of 3D, highlight the panel lighting, which can be located not only on the ceiling or wall, but also on the floor. It all depends on the pattern used and the design of the panels.

Before finishing the room with voluminous fibreboard, you do not need complicated wall processing, the usual rough finish is fine. And even if it is not perfectly smooth - this is only a plus, because 3D panels are able to hide any defects in surfaces, which is an indisputable advantage over other finishing materials.

Installation of 3D MDF panels is carried out on the surface of plasterboard, brick or concrete using a profile that takes from 3 to 4 cm space between the wall and the panel. With this method of attachment, a frame is made of bars that are pre-treated with an antiseptic. In this case, the horizontal panels are mounted to the bars, located vertically, and the vertical panels are attached to the horizontal frame. Specialists usually use clamps to attach to bars.

If the frame "eats" up to 35 mm thickness, then mounting on plates and corners is carried out without a gap between the wall and the panel. But you can also use the method of attachment to glue, but in this case it is impossible to fasten whole sheets, and plates maximum size of 800x800 mm. With the glue method of fixing the surface will have to pre-process and align. Using liquid nails, make sure that they match the color of the panels. As a finishing coating, both ordinary paint and plaster, veneer made of valuable wood species, PVC film or special coatings, which will be discussed below, are used.

Painted 3D MDF panels are produced in accordance with the classic shades of enamels and paints presented in the catalogs, and with the additional application of silver or gold patina.

3D MDF panels for walls coated with veneer of valuable tree species (beech, cedar, ebony, mahogany, oak, walnut) have, as a rule, milling grooves that can be covered with any shade of paint.

And also fibreboard can be covered with PVC film, and the production technology of such a finishing material resembles film facades for kitchens. With the help of PVC film can imitate the texture of wood, leather or enamel.

3D panels made of MDF with a special fluorescent coating are capable of emitting a faint glow at night (as a rule, a blue-green hue), emphasizing the unusual texture of a modern finishing material. This effect can last up to 10 hours. By the way, such panels are absolutely safe for humans and act on the principle that they accumulate light energy during the day and “give it away” during the night.

3D MDF panels from year to year are gaining increasing popularity among our compatriots. And if you have a desire to surprise guests with the ultra-modern interior of your apartment, feel free to use this method of finishing the living space. Fortunately, it is easy to choose the original design of the volumetric panels from a huge variety of styles, textures and shades.
