by Shane Henson — July 22, 2013—Designers wanting to create elegant-looking walls and the facilities crews who must maintain them may finally be able to see eye-to-eye through InPro Corporation’s new Palladium Wall Panel System.
“We work with both designers and facility managers, so we know firsthand how their priorities can seemingly be at odds,” says Thomas Larwa, senior product manager of InPro’s IPC division, which specializes in door and wall protection. “But really everybody wants the same thing: walls that look great and don’t require constant maintenance, even if they’re in high-traffic areas like hallways and lobbies. That’s precisely what our Palladium Wall Panel system offers.”
These durable wall panels combine fully wrapped and bonded edges with a balanced construction and Class-A Fire Rating to offer high-class looks without the high maintenance. The wall panels also offer a unique “balanced construction” because the surface material is applied to the back of the particleboard as well. This is proven to reduce warping and increase durability.
As InPro notes, most wall panels are constructed with surface material that is not bonded to the edges of their particleboard substrate. During installation, these edges are damaged when the surface material gets snagged or when panels get dropped, and entire panels must be replaced. These non-bonded edges also expose the underlying particleboard to moisture damage from mold, mildew and bacteria growth.
The panels are available in select standard colors and all Woodland and Element patterns, says InPro.
