Panelling--Interior

Look for information on interior panelling under this heading in Yellow Pages®. Panelling is a process by which the interior surfaces of walls are covered with panels made up of wood, plastic or any other solid material. The panelled interiors are formed by the interlocking of panels. Panelling is done primarily to increase the aesthetic value of the interiors of a building or a house. Yellow Pages® contains a comprehensive list of interior panelling services available in all states in Australia.

Other than aesthetics, panelling has another purpose, which is insulation. Wood panels are bad conductors of heat and cold. Thus, they keep the heat and cold away from the interiors of a house or building. This helps to maintain moderate room temperature. The two types of ornate panelling are wainscoting and boiserie. Wainscoting is a panelling style that is applied to the lower base of the panels, usually three feet at the bottom. Boiserie refers to the wood carving executed on the panels in order to give the walls an artistic look. You will find boiserie work in many palaces as it was very popular among the royals.

Wood panels are available in a wide range of choices. You can choose from a variety of designs and surface finishes. One has the option to select either full interior panelling or waist high panelling according to one’s needs and tastes.  Panels come in different degrees of thickness. The thicker the veneer, the more long lasting it is. Painting wood panels is also a good way to ensure the panels endure over longer periods.
