Art3d A21030 - Decorative 3D Wall Panels Cornus Angustata Design, 12 Tiles 32 SF

Installation facile avec un pistolet à calfeutrer et de la colle sur tout les morceaux. Il suffit de mettre du latex pour que les joints ne paraissent pas. Et on fini avec la peinture choisi. Pour les interrupteurs ou prises de courant il faut ajouter des rallonges de boite électrique. Voilà.

I liked the end result— but I’m not sure I can justify the price tag for what I got. For MUCH less than what I spent, I could have used trim or mounding to create a “board and batten” kind of accent wall and would have finished 4x as fast— not to mention how much easier removal would have been in the event I move. This project took FOREVER to finish and costs much more! You’ve got to find a decent construction glue and get many bottles of acrylic caulk to finish all the seams. AND you need to buy paint because the panels come in an awful yellowish color. You need a drop cloth, a caulk gun, rags to clean up the crazy mess this turns into, etc. The panels aren’t made of plastic. It feels like paper plate material and it needs heavy duty construction glue to remain on the walls until the glue dries. It was such a pain to glue them as corners would stick up and using tape to hold them down only made rips on the panel (the way cardboard looks when you rip tape off of it) If this is exactly what you’re looking for then go for it. Personally I wish I’d read a comment like mine to let me know this was going to be wayyyy more work and money than I intended (~$260) for a small ~8ft by ~8ft wall. All that said— the wall looks pretty good. Tip: place the glue on the panel AND the wall for better adhesion.

The end result was striking, but they take a bit to put up properly. Keep in mind that the paper absorbs moisture so the wall paper paste cased many of the tiles to expand and they no longer sat flush on the wall and pulled away in some areas. I had to reapply and then pin down the area that had warped from the past moisture and push pin to wall till it dried in place and re-blocked flat. Then I had to fill the holes and seams with plaster, dry and sand. Then I primed, and then I applied 2 coats of semigloss. You still see the seams a bit up close, but from away it looks like a large plastic headboard mounted on the wall. I was concerned about the durability, but with all the layers of paint, they now have a vinyl coating and they are quite durable. We lean on it and there are no dents.

Added these to a wall in our bar and its the first thing people ask about when they come in! Im a contractor by trade and would definitely recommend using a table saw to make your cuts...im sure a rotary tool like a dremel or grinder with a cutting wheel would work as well....not sure about a razor knife. They're pretty easy to work with. I had used an 1/8" trowel to spread a glue on while installing them. A couple corners wanted to pop away from the wall while installing and I just stuck a thumb tack in it until it set. When everything was set i used a little caulk and my finger to fill any little seams that you could see then painted!!

My wife and I installed these tiles in a very small area about 3 feet wide by 8 feet tall and we each had four hours each in it (8 man hours)and we were very accurate with our cuts. The problem is with these panels they are fairly flimsy and when you go to caulk them along the wall they end up flexing therefore you can’t caulk the ends to the wall very easily. If you wish to install something like this buy a full sheet because we will see every single joint once this is painted and it will look really bad. We caulked every joint but they are very visible still because you cannot get these things flat on the wall no matter how hard you try. I definitely would never buy these again my wife and I are both very disappointed. Update when painted they look very splotchy
