VJ panelling adds instant character, and it works just as well in a commercial fit-out as in a home. This was a VJ panelling installation at a commercial property in Mudgeeraba.
The VJ panelling job in Mudgeeraba
The panels were set out and levelled, fixed securely, and the joins and edges were finished cleanly so the wall reads as one neat, straight run.
4 expert tips for VJ panelling that looks right
- Set out before fixing. Work out where the boards will finish at each end, so you don’t end up with a thin sliver at a corner.
- Start plumb. The first board has to be perfectly vertical. If it is out, every board after it follows.
- Fix into solid backing. Panels need to be fixed into framing or suitable backing so they stay flat.
- Finish the edges. Clean corners, trims and neatly filled joins are what make the job look professional once it is painted.
Where VJ panelling works
Feature walls, hallways, bedrooms, wet areas (using wet-area rated products), shopfronts and reception areas. In a commercial space it gives a fresh, clean look that is easy to repaint. VJ stands for vee-joint: the boards are a form of tongue-and-groove panelling with a V-shaped groove at each join.
