1. What is integrated wall panel?
Integrated wall panel is a newly launched new environmentally friendly and quick decoration material. Its material is the second generation integrated wall, which is a combination of Bamboo fiber and waterproof and fireproof crystal powder are pressed at high temperature. Integrated walls were first introduced as a new material in 2010. At that time, they were made of aluminum foil sandwiched with foam layers. In 2011, the latest technology was used to use bamboo fiber, polymer waterproof and fireproof materials, and crystal powder to press at high temperatures. This material is currently on the market. It is a high-end new environmentally friendly building material. Its surface adopts high-temperature coating or roller coating process. In addition to the colorful patterns of wallpaper and paint, the integrated wall surface also has a strong three-dimensional effect and a concave-convex surface. It is a replacement product for wallpaper and paint. This product has passed many inspections and tests on building materials and component quality, acoustic performance, thermal performance, national fireproof building material quality, etc. by domestic authoritative departments, and all conform to national standards.
2. What about integrated wall panels? What are their characteristics?
1. Thermal insulation and heat insulation
The thermal insulation efficiency tested by national authoritative departments exceeds the national current level. There is a standard, and the temperature difference between the installation room and the ordinary board installation room is 7 degrees; compared with paint, the difference is 10 degrees. It is the best material for wall decoration in the hot summer in the south and the cold winter in the north. This product has unique thermal insulation properties, and its application in balconies, sunrooms and top-floor spaces of villas can completely solve the problem of top-floor sunlight exposure. Achieving obvious energy-saving effects, it is also an energy-saving decorative material strongly promoted by the country.
2. Sound insulation
The sound insulation has been tested by the national authoritative department to reach 29 decibels, which is equivalent to the sound insulation of a solid wall. If used in the bathroom, it can obviously solve the sound of water pipes and also Can be used in various soundproof rooms in factories.
3. Fire protection
How about integrated walls? The fire protection level has been tested by national authoritative departments to reach b1 level, which basically meets the fire protection requirements of the project.
4. Super hardness
This product is a composite of aluminum alloy plates and polyurethane, which increases the strength and hardness of the product and can be used on various types of parapets.
5. Waterproof? Moisture-proof
This product has moisture-proof properties and is particularly suitable for decoration in the south. It especially solves the problem of wall leakage and mildew in southern home decoration.
6. Green and environmentally friendly
The raw materials used on the surface of this product are all environmentally friendly materials that integrate into the wall. The installed room is environmentally friendly and odorless. If the room is decorated as a whole, there will be no paint. This process solves the problem of decoration material time and paint smell. It can be installed today and can be moved in tomorrow, which greatly saves time.
7. Convenient installation: This product is designed using the traditional gusset plate installation method, which greatly solves the cumbersome installation of other aluminum plates. It does not require professionals and ordinary carpenters can install it directly. Installing on the rough wall saves labor, time and space.
8. Easy to scrub and not deformed: The product surface is strong and can be scrubbed directly with a cloth, completely solving the difficult scrubbing problem of integrated wall decoration products. The polyurethane composite technology used in this product ensures that the product is formed Finally, the effect of no deformation and no aging is achieved.
9. Fashion space: This product can be multi-functional and can be directly buckled, assembled, docked and other fantastic combinations.
10. Save space: This product can be installed directly on the wall with screws without using a chassis, which can save at least 5-10 cm of space.
3. Disadvantages of integrated walls:
1: Integrated walls are currently mid-to-high-end products, suitable for some white-collar workers, successful people, etc., and oriented to the mid-to-high-end market.
Nowadays, one square meter of better integrated wall is about 250 yuan. Compared with traditional scraping, the cost is a little higher, and the cost is about the same as diatom mud. Therefore, the current integrated wall market is mainly concentrated in first- and second-tier cities. But now with the improvement of people's living standards and the enhancement of environmental awareness, some young couples who are getting married and successful people who want to improve their housing environment are increasingly choosing environmentally friendly integrated walls.
2: Integrated walls pose a dilemma to traditional decorators. Due to the ease of installation of integrated walls, a room of about 100 square meters can be installed by only two people in about 20 days, leaving some decoration workers without work and causing them to lose their jobs.
3: At present, integrated walls are mainly concentrated in the south. In the south, dozens of integrated wall brands have emerged in just one year or so, and the market competition is fierce. In the northern region, there are relatively few integrated wall manufacturers and the market competition is not fierce. As a result, the integrated wall market has little competition and has become a seller's market. Therefore, there is little price war and a large amount of profits cannot be passed on to consumers. Just like Tubiqi integrated wall, it took only one year to sell this new type of environmentally friendly integrated wall. The surface and relatively mid-range price quickly opened up the integrated wall market in the north and became the leading brand of integrated walls in the north.
4: At present, because integrated walls are still in the promotion stage, many consumers know little about it. They may be used more in the south, but the market for integrated walls in the north has not yet been fully opened. As a result, consumers can only choose some nearby big cities when using integrated walls, and there are almost none locally. Of course, this cannot be blamed on the integrated wall manufacturers, because their current strategic layout is mainly in big cities and they are still in the stage of staking their claim. Just like Tubiqi integrated walls, the current work centers are in cities such as Harbin, Changchun, Dalian, and Shenyang. It may take several years to work hard to expand the market and develop dealers and franchise stores in various regions.
5: Brands in the integrated wall market are confusing. Just like in Wuhan, many integrated wall brands have emerged within a year, and they all praise the quality of their homes, making it difficult for consumers to make a choice. In the north, there are few integrated wall brands, just like Tubiqi, which is in the natural monopoly stage, leaving consumers with less choice.

As for integrated wall panels, the emergence in recent years has been welcomed by the market because it has many excellent features, such as thermal insulation, heat insulation, sound insulation, fire prevention, super hardness, waterproof and moisture-proof, green and environmental protection, etc. Specifically, You can refer to the content. When purchasing, start from the actual decoration situation of the home, combined with the overall decoration style, and choose wall panels according to your own preferences.
