Wall panels are decorative and functional interior cladding used to improve aesthetics, hide wall imperfections, and sometimes provide acoustical or moisture-resistant benefits. They come in a wide range of materials, profiles, and installation methods, making them suitable for residential, commercial, and industrial spaces.
