Interior wall panels or also known as interior wall panels are an alternative wall finishing material that has recently been favored by interior design lovers. This is because wall panels provide practicality and more aesthetic results compared to other wall finishing materials such as wall paint.

In addition, interior wall panels also have durability against impacts and stains that are much better than other materials with similar functions. That is what causes interior wall panels to be increasingly glanced at to complement the beauty of a building's interior design.

However, the selection of materials must be equipped with knowledge about how to care for the material, so that the selected material can be more durable and provide aesthetic value to the room for a longer period.

Here Aica provides tips for caring for interior wall panels that you can do to keep the wall panel material of your choice at its best appearance.

Avoid Direct Sun Exposure

As the name suggests, interior wall panels are wall finishing materials for interior areas (indoors) that are usually not equipped with an anti-ultraviolet coating.

The first tip for caring for wall panels, you should avoid direct sunlight exposure on the panel surface, because this can cause a decrease in the sharpness of the colors and motifs on the panel surface. If there is a panel installation facing or close to a window, it is better to provide a curtain to the window so that sunlight does not come into direct contact with the panel surface.

Clean Stains Immediately

Some wall panels are still porous materials, so they have the potential to absorb stains if left too long. Therefore, immediately clean the panel surface if it is exposed to spilled liquid or stains that have the potential to leave color marks on the panel surface.

However, if you use wall panels such as CERARL, the material is no longer porous, so it will not absorb stains and leave marks.

Do Not Use Harsh Chemical Cleaning Fluids

Avoid using cleaning fluids containing harsh chemicals such as thinner, ceramic cleaner and the like. This can erode the surface layer of the panel motif which results in reduced sharpness of the motif and color.

Use clean water and a clean cloth to clean stains, while for stains that have been left for too long, use dish soap mixed with water to clean them.

Those were the 3 most important things about tips for caring for wall panels. After knowing these three things, the next determining factor is the choice of interior wall panel material itself. Make sure you study the properties and characteristics of the material you choose, whether the material has an anti-UV coating, whether the material is porous, whether the material is resistant to high heat, and so on.

Choosing a material with the right characteristics will reduce the risk of maintenance errors and will make the material you choose more durable and long-lasting.
