Synthetic bamboo wall coverings and applications
First, synthetic bamboo wall material introduction
Composition and characteristics
Synthetic bamboo wall materials are usually combined with bamboo fibers and other synthetic materials (such as plastics, resins, etc.). Bamboo fibers give the material its natural texture and appearance, giving it the aesthetic feel of bamboo. The synthetic material enhances the stability, durability and deformation resistance of the material. For example, the resin added to some synthetic bamboo boards can improve their waterproof properties, enabling them to be used in humid environments.
Its color can be adjusted by dyeing and other processes to meet the needs of different decorative styles. Moreover, this material is relatively light, easy to install, and reduces the load on the wall.
Specification and form
Synthetic bamboo wall material has a variety of specifications. The common dimensions of synthetic bamboo materials in the form of plates are 2440mm long, 1220mm wide, and the thickness varies from 3-18mm. This size is easy to cut and splice, and can adapt to the needs of different wall areas.
It can also be made into strips, the length is customized according to needs, the width is generally between 30-100mm, the thickness is about 5-10mm, this strip material can be used to create a wall decoration effect with a sense of line.
Second, the application scenario of synthetic bamboo wall
Interior decoration
Living room wall: The use of synthetic bamboo walls in the living room can create a natural, warm atmosphere. The whole wall can be covered with synthetic bamboo panels, or part of the wall decoration can be used, such as in the TV background wall or sofa background wall.
Bedroom wall: The natural texture of the synthetic bamboo wall helps create a comfortable sleeping environment. For a Japanese-style or pastoral bedroom, choose a synthetic bamboo material with the original color and texture of bamboo, paired with wood bedding and cotton soft furnishings to make people feel like they are in nature. Moreover, the synthetic bamboo material has certain sound-absorbing properties, which can reduce the interference of external noise to the bedroom.
Restaurant wall: The application of synthetic bamboo material on the restaurant wall can increase the affinity of the space.
Commercial space decoration
Hotel lobby wall: The hotel lobby pursues high-end atmosphere without losing the decorative effect of natural elements. Synthetic bamboo walls can be used as a characteristic decorative material, with marble floors, crystal chandeliers and so on. For example, in the lobby of some resort hotels, the use of tall synthetic bamboo panels splice into the wall, showing the natural bamboo charm, so that guests feel the holiday atmosphere as soon as they enter the door.
Third, the installation method of synthetic bamboo wall
Base treatment
Before installing the synthetic bamboo wall, it is necessary to ensure that the wall base is smooth, dry and clean. If the wall is uneven, it needs to be levelled with cement mortar or putty. For walls with excessive roughness, it may also be necessary to use keel for base reinforcement. At the same time, to remove the dust on the wall, oil and other impurities, so as not to affect the bond between the synthetic bamboo material and the wall.
Installation mode
Adhesive method: For the thin synthetic bamboo board (thickness of 3-8mm), you can use environmentally friendly glue to paste. Apply the glue evenly on the back of the synthetic bamboo board and the wall base, and then stick the board on the wall, and gently tap with a rubber mallet to make it stick firmly. In the pasting process, pay attention to the tight splicing between the plates to avoid gaps.
Nailing method: For thicker synthetic bamboo boards (thickness greater than 8mm) or strips of synthetic bamboo materials, the nailing method is usually used. First drill holes in the synthetic bamboo material, and then fix it to the wall using stainless steel nails or gas nails. The nail head can choose a style similar to the color of the synthetic bamboo material, or use a decorative cap to cover it to ensure the beauty of the wall. If the keel base is used, the synthetic bamboo material needs to be fixed on the keel to ensure the stability of the installation.
Card slot splicing installation method: some synthetic bamboo wall materials with card slot and card strip structure. When installing, insert a piece of material card into another piece of material card slot, splicing in turn, this method is convenient to install, splicing the wall integrity is good, and can adapt to a certain degree of wall deformation.
Four, synthetic bamboo wall maintenance and maintenance
Cleaning method
Daily cleaning, for the dust on the surface of the synthetic bamboo wall, you can use a clean soft cloth or feather duster to gently wipe. If there is a stain, you can use a damp cloth dipped in a small amount of neutral detergent (such as dishwashing liquid) to wipe, but to avoid detergent residue. For stubborn stains, a special wood cleaner can be used, but it needs to be tested in a small area before use to ensure that it will not cause damage to the synthetic bamboo wall.
Moisture protection and sun protection
Although the synthetic bamboo material has a certain moisture-proof performance, it is necessary to pay attention to maintaining ventilation in humid environments (such as bathrooms, kitchens, etc.). If the wall is in a humid state for a long time, it may lead to mold or deformation of the synthetic bamboo material.
