In a market flooded with imitation wall panels, standing out from the crowd with authenticity, quality, and service has never been more crucial. As demand grows, so does the number of cheaper imitations flooding the market. These lower-cost options may look the part at first glance, but beneath the surface, they often lack the craftsmanship, functionality, and longevity that modern homeowners are starting to demand.
At Walls and Floors, we’ve watched this shift closely. That’s why we created our Trepanel® brand – a wall panel range designed not just to look great, but to stand the test of time. We’re here to explore why choosing quality matters more than ever, how to spot a well-crafted panel from a cut-price imitation, and why choosing the original over imitators makes all the difference!

1 – Superior Quality That Lasts
Today’s shoppers are savvy, but even the most style-conscious can be drawn in by photos that look good online. The truth? Many imitation wall panels use low-cost laminates, exposed edges, and zero acoustic benefits, leading to disappointing finishes and costly replacements down the line. Here are just a few ways we excel:
Real Wood Veneers
Trepanel® isn’t just about the aesthetics – our acoustic panels are crafted with lightweight, responsible FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) certified MDF slats, strong felt backing, and real wood veneers that bring a natural, rich, and warm finish to your interiors. Imitators often rely on poor-quality MDF and cheaper laminate alternatives that lack depth and texture. These often also only cover the front of the MDF slat, leaving exposed edges and an unfinished look, whereas Trepanel® ensures all three visible edges of the MDF slat are covered with our quality veneer.

Acoustic Benefits
Many of our Trepanel® wall panel designs are acoustic rated, making them ideal for media walls, offices, or any area of the home where sound clarity and dampening matter. Simply follow our useful Trepanel® Guide to get the most out of their acoustic value. This is a detail that many cheaper wall panels simply overlook.
Waterproof Solutions
Need bathroom wall panelling? Trepanel® also offers waterproof variants suitable for use across bathrooms and kitchens. With Trepanel Aqua®, you don’t have to compromise on design or function!

2 – Range Variety That Outpaces the Rest
Thoughtfully designed spaces need thoughtfully designed products, so while other brands offer a handful of designs, Trepanel® gives customers a truly expansive range to choose from! To name a few of the styles on offer:
- > Natural Wood Tones – Light Oak, Walnut, Charcoal, etc
- > Marble Effects – White Marble or Black Marble
- > Slate Finished – Slate Grey and Ivory
- > Industrial Looks – Concrete Greys and Charcoal Stones
- > Bright & Minimal – White on White Panels
- > Curved Profiles – Trepanel® Curve for design-led, softer edges
Plus, you’ll find coordinating accessories, including corner trims, decorative capping, LED lighting options, and many more, that integrate seamlessly with your panel setup and offer insight into why premium design offers so much more than surface appeal.

3 – Affordability Without Sacrificing Quality
Some may assume premium design comes with a premium price tag, but not with Trepanel®.
