Art3d 3D Wall Panels for Interior Wall Decoration Brick Design Pack of 6 Tiles 32 Sq Ft (Plant Fiber) - White Matt Brick

We had an accent wall at our airbnb, that was covered in brick wallpaper. It needed some modern updating and I came across these on Amazon as a solution.It took me about 2 days on and off to install them. I went with the plant based tiles, and while I like them, if I had it to do over I would go with the pvc option. The plant based tiles have a very comfortable finish, it really looks nice, and matte. They are basically a very nice, hefty cardboard, and I can see them taking stains and damage easier than the pvc option. With the plant based tiles too, I would be very careful about painting them, a light coat of paint or primer before hand, is probably a good recommendation. I can see them soaking up a ton of paint, becoming heavy, and not sticking to the wall. I used a contact cement and it worked well for sticking the tiles to the wall.Things that I did not think through that I should have before installation. You are going to want caulk between the tiles, even if you run them very close. You also want flexible caulk that is not going to crack. Have a good solution for cutting the tiles. I thought I could use wood saw and jig, but it did not give a clean cut like I wanted. I then tried metal cutting snips, and while they work for very small cuts, they do not do well for long cuts either. I ended up using a cutting wheel on a Dremel, and it did pretty well, I sanded and cleaned the edge a little after each cut. If I had it to do over again, I think a table saw and very small tooth blade would be the easiest and give you the best looking cuts. You are going to want to frame in the edges of the wall you do with some type of base board, I used 1/4 white square, and it worked well. If you don't, the edges of the tiles that meet the wall are not going to look good. If you have outlets on the wall, have a plan in mind. I cut out perfect holes in the tile for the outlets, then 3d printed some little riser frames to go under the outlet face plate. Also if you plan on going around a corner, this may not be the product for you, I recommend this just for an accent wall. I can think of solutions to get around corners, but it is going to complicate the job significantly.Overall very pleased, it looks great. It also looks way more pricey than it actually is. You will most likely spend the same for instillation materials as you will for the initial tile purchase, so keep that in mind.

Before I purchased four boxes of the Wavy 3D Wall art I read as many reviews as possible and thought that this was something I could handle. As some reviews mentioned some do's and don'ts. Well.... it never occurred to me that the wall of my choice for the art was not entirely square. As I live in an older home. So my dilemma was how to keep the pattern going straight and level. Next was finding how to secure them to the painted wall which had texture on it. I measured out how many panels would go across and then down the wall. No problem, until I found that I had to cut down a few panels to finish the one side, seven to be exact. No matter how I placed the panels on the wall I would have to cut some down to fit so I made the cuts on one side of the wall instead of dividing up the difference and having to cut fourteen panels. I was fearful that it would look chopped up on both sides. I found that by using a large sharp pair of scissors worked best for cutting the panels. Made clean cuts. Either for cutting around an electrical outlet or for smaller pieces. Now I had to figure out what product to use to adhere them to the wall. I found that by using my Hot Glue gun worked best and was easy to work with. You must work quickly because the glue will cool down and if not in place while the glue is still hot it will not stick. I placed a small amount on each corner of the panels and quickly put them in place. I also found that they were easy to remove if they needed adjusting, just reapply more hot glue. So after a weekend of working on this project I LOVE the end results. OMG...it's beautiful. I did not paint the panels, keeping them their off white color, but painted the three surrounding walls a little darker color and now the 3D art wall just pops. I'm have had so many compliments on my DIY project. Worth the trouble and hard work.

I spent a lot of time looking at different wall panel decorations for my project. This plant fiber paneling was great, especially for this low price! Much lighter weight than pvc, so it was easier to handle. I liked the flat sheen of this vs. pvc, so I was able to paint with paint brush instead of spray paint, but spray paint would have worked fine too I'm sure. I used gorilla spray adhesive to stick to the wall, then caulk between the edges.A few things to note: One, It does take a long time to install. With adding the spray adhesive, lining each panel up, caulking and painting. Second, these are like a thick, hard cardboard. Good quality but they will get damaged, especially the corners, if handled too rough. Good thing I had a few panels to spare to experiment with. Third, after a few days after I finished, there is some movement with the panel touch each other, so you can see the panel edges separating a bit. I fixed it by reapplying caulk, and then painting again. All in all, I'm very happy with the results!
