Wall panelling installation in Dubai
Panelling Work
Decorative wall panelling for living rooms, bedrooms, corridors and offices, including slat, fluted, shaker and wood-effect panels, fitted level and finished neatly.
Overview
Wall panelling installation in Dubai: what to expect.
Wall panelling adds texture and warmth to a room and can protect walls in busy areas like corridors and entrances. It is one of the most popular ways to upgrade a living room, bedroom or office without major building work.
There are many styles, from vertical slat and fluted panels to classic shaker-style panelling and wood-effect finishes. Each needs a level, properly fixed base, accurate cutting and clean joints to look right.
We fit panelling carefully around sockets, switches and corners, so the finished wall looks like part of the room rather than something added on top.
What the work may involve
- Helping you choose a panel style and layout for the wall
- Checking and preparing the wall so the panels sit flat and level
- Fitting slat, fluted and wood-effect decorative panels
- Shaker-style and half-height panelling with a neat top rail
- Cutting neatly around sockets, switches and corners
- Moving or extending sockets and switches where the panelling needs it
- Filling, caulking and painting where the panel type requires it
Common problems
Problems we are often asked about, and practical solutions.
Gaps or uneven joints between panels
This usually means the wall was not level or the panels were not set out properly. We check the wall first and set out the layout so the joints line up and the end panels are not thin slivers.
Sockets and switches in the way
Panelling adds depth to the wall, so sockets and switches often need to be brought forward or moved. As electricians, we can handle that as part of the job.
Panels coming away from the wall
Usually the result of the wrong adhesive or fixings, or a weak surface underneath. Panels need to be fixed to suit both the panel and the wall.
Want panelling but worried about cost
Half-height panelling or a single feature wall can give much of the effect for a smaller area. We can suggest options to suit your budget.
How we work
Our approach to wall panelling.
Panelling repeats a pattern across the whole wall, so small errors become obvious. A panel that is slightly off level or a joint that does not line up is noticed every time you look at the wall. Careful setting out is what makes panelling look high-end.
- 01
We agree the panel style and set out the layout with you before cutting anything.
- 02
The wall is checked, prepared and protected, and sockets or switches are adjusted if needed.
- 03
Panels are fixed level and plumb with clean, consistent joints.
- 04
Edges are finished, the work is checked in the room's light, and the area is cleaned.
Can you install panels I have bought myself?
Yes. Send us the product details and photos of the wall so we can check the fixings needed and the quantity.
Can panelling go over sockets and switches?
Sockets and switches are not covered. They are brought forward or relocated so they sit neatly in the panelling. We check the wiring first.
Is panelling suitable for offices?
Yes. Panelling is popular for reception areas, meeting rooms and corridors, and we can plan the work around your business hours where possible.
