Art3d PVC 3D Wall Panels, Plastic Decorative Wall Tile in White 12-Pack

Love these wall panels. Read for full installation tutorial (one of many methods)First off, the description says “32 sq feet”, which to most people not using the metric system, means 8x4, which is the standard size for most sheets of plywood. These panels, however, are 19.65625 x 19.65625...so they don’t cover a traditional 8x4 sheet of plywood.I didn’t want to ruin my drywall in case I didn’t love them, so I wanted to put a backer board over my drywall so that I could remove it/the tiles if need be. Using liquid nails or double sided tape on drywall is a recipe for disaster if you ever want to remove it.I purchased 3 sheets of 4x4 hardboard from Menards at $5.50 a piece. I didn’t want to make a mess with liquid nails so decided I was going to use double sided tape. I picked up 3 rolls of 150 feet Gorilla heavy duty for $10 a roll. So my total for the project including the 3D panels themselves was about $130.The box has 12 tiles and I could fit 6 length-wise on my wall with about 7 inches left over. So I decided to do 2 rows of 6 panels.1. I took 19.65625 x 6 and got 117 15/16 and 19.65625 x 2 to get 39 5/16. So I knew that was the size my backer board needed to be.2. I laid the sheets on the floor, measured, marked, and drew straight edge lines across at the marks.3. I cut the sheets with my circular saw. (They Cut very well if you cut with the grain)4. I brought the sheets inside, marked the edge on the wall where the first sheet would sit, and then I marked the stud lines above the sheets so that I knew where to screw in so that I hit the studs.5. I screwed the panels into the wall at the stud points. For the corners of the sheets that were not close to a stud, I hammered some nails so that the sheets would not come away from the wall in those areas.6. I framed the entire structure with double sided tape. I also added a line of tape through the direct center. This way the panels would have at least 2 contact points with the tape in all spots.**note - if you mess up and pull the tape from the hardboard, the tape will not stick again so you will need to use new tape.7. I carefully placed the 3D panels onto the wall and pressed down firmly to secure with the tape. Take your time, it’s tough to unstick the panels from the tape.8. I ran my finger slowly along all the edges to make sure all the panels had good contact with the tape.9. Enjoyed my new wall.Hope this helps. These panels are awesome. With a little planning and patience, they can make a nice feature wall.

For Christmas this year I (negative) got a week vacation in my den bc my wife (omicron) is quarantined upstairs. I got a little restless. I tend to learn things the hard way…don’t do things the hard way. That being said, use 3m double sided tape. After two bottles of loctite adhesive, and a cartridge of staples I finally remembered I had a whole roll of 3M double sided tape. I’ve never found much use for it as I’ve had it for about five years and tried it on a few other things that didn’t work out. I’m telling you I put about about 35 panels and the adhesive only got me through about 8. The tape works perfectly and you don’t need to cover the entire flat lines on the back. Things went even smoother when I realized I could cut these cleanly with the table saw instead of only using snips. (Keep the snips on hand though for detail). I advise stripe coating with black paint prior to install. You’ll be happy you did around the edges. Black sharpie is your friend too. I overlapped the edges and minus building the entertainment center (staining and poly in between paneling) it took me about a day and a half. Throughly satisfied with this. Ordered one box just to check the quality. Ordered around 9pm on 12/23 and they were delivered at 8:30am 12/24. As soon as I took them out of the box I ordered four more boxes. Overestimated how many I needed so I’m left with an extra two boxes plus and my wife is excited to hear it. They do seem to collect everything in the air, but are super easy to dust. This made Christmas quarantine a little bit better. I’m excited to be free and show off my updated den. Great product.

I used these panels to create an accent wall in the gaming room, and it turning out amazing! I was a tad hesitant at first because I live in an apartment and wasn’t sure how to make a floating accent wall without doing a bunch of damage. But after some brainstorming, I figured out a way to make it work.Here’s how I created a renter-friendly floating wall with backlights.Supplies:6 of these awesome panels in black3 20x30 inch black foam boards from MichaelsA bag of 1-inch square wooden blocks from MichaelsDouble sided gorilla tapeSmall D-ring hangersLight stripI used the tape to stick two panels to each of the foam boards and trimmed the extra bit of foam board off the sides. On the back of each foam board, I taped one wood block at the top and two at bottom of each board. Then I screwed a d-ring hanger to the top wood block on each panel section. I did have use nails to hang each panel but that’s because there’s too much humidity where I live to use command strips for this. But you could definitely use command strips instead of nails to hang up these panels. Once all three panels were up, I stuck a nice light strip to the back edge of the whole thing. It definitely gave the gaming room a very cool vibe!

Make a great accent wall to give your room some texture, depth, and warmth. Used a Dremel tool to cut panels to fit. Used construction adhesive to stick to walls. Sides of panels (edges of panels) are slightly lighter in color. If they don’t line up exactly, you might notice light lines in between. Used 1/4” OD green car pinstripe tape to cover seams in between panels. Overall looks good.
