      Frequently Asked Questions

      What types of wall panelling does Windsor Plywood carry?
      Windsor Plywood carries shiplap, wainscot, ceiling board, slatwall, and PVC tile panelling, along with natural wood and MDF panelling options. The range covers traditional wainscoting, rustic shiplap feature walls, contemporary slat panels, and moisture-resistant PVC for bathrooms and utility spaces.
      Is wall panelling structural or purely decorative?
      In residential renovation applications, wall panelling is primarily decorative and applied over an existing wall structure. The primary framing and drywall provide the structural backing. Panelling should not be relied upon for structural support.
      What is the best panelling option for a bathroom or laundry room?
      PVC tile or moisture-resistant MDF panelling with a sealed finish is appropriate for bathrooms and laundry rooms where humidity and splash exposure are regular. Natural wood panelling requires thorough sealing on all faces and edges and is better suited for powder rooms with lower moisture exposure than full bathrooms.
      How much does wall panelling cost to install compared to drywall?
      Panelling is generally faster to install than drywall because it does not require taping, mudding, sanding, and priming. Floating tongue-and-groove and click-together panels install particularly quickly. For renovation projects, panelling often provides a faster and cleaner result than drywall patching.
      Can panelling be painted or does it have to remain natural?
      Paint-grade MDF and finger-jointed pine panelling are designed to be painted and take paint cleanly. Shiplap and natural wood panelling can be painted, stained, or left natural depending on the design intent. PVC panelling is manufactured in finished colours and is not typically painted. Windsor Plywood carries options suited to any finish approach.
