Two factory finish options, one clear decision. What each one moves off the site programme, and what it leaves with the decorator.

Two profiles meet at the base of every panelled wall. If their heights and projections are not checked together, the junction is where the fit-out looks unfinished.

Skirting is usually specified last and fixed first. Here are the heights, thickness, lengths and two profile details worth settling before the boards ship.

A narrow flute reads as fine texture on a large wall and as busy in a small room. Width and depth are scale decisions before they are style decisions.

PS, PVC and WPC do not compete for the same wall. Reading the wall condition first tells you which category belongs in the specification.

A finish that suits a hotel corridor may not survive the way a private study is looked after. Agree who cleans the wall first, then choose.

A per-square-metre comparison hides the number that actually drives a container plan: cartons per profile. Here is how to build a mixed order that ships.

The panel is rarely what delays a fit-out. The wall behind it is. Here is how to sequence plaster, drying and cladding around a wet season.

Over fifty profiles and eight finishes is a catalogue, not a stock list. Here is how a distributor narrows a first order to something that actually turns.
