Do-It-Yourself Trends

Posted on by

There are many new trends in the world of do-it-yourself projects, including the use of decor plastic paneling!  Our shower wallboard panels, designer and slate veneer panels are quickly gaining popularity as families try to avoid installation fees. Here are a few more trends that are catching on!

1)  Bright Colors:  A scan of recent DIY projects will show that people are incorporating more color into their living spaces.  While the minimalist look of clean crispness has been in fashion for a while, interior design is getting a bit of a makeover this year.  People want to feel bright and happy in their home, and color is one way to bring that uplifting energy!

2)  Mixing Textures:  Whether you are sticking with muted colors, or picking out colorful decor plastic panels, we have seen many people mixing patterns this year.  Why pick just one design when the combination of two different designs could add a uniquely delightful effect?  If you think you can handle all of the cutting, you can even create a patchwork design with multiple textures!

3)  Bring it Inside!:  Less people are focusing on outside decor and they are moving their creativity indoors.  The most popular remodeling jobs in the past have been patios, pools, and gardens while today’s most popular remodels are bathrooms and kitchens.

4)  The DIY Trade-Off:  DIY projects may be easy enough to do on your own, but that’s doesn’t mean they’re not difficult!  More community members across the nation are exchanging help with home projects.  Ask your neighbor to help you install your waterproof shower panels and then you can help when they’re building their new deck!

5 Do-it-Yourself Safety Tips!

Posted on by

The great thing about decor plastic panels is that you don’t need a professional to use them.  They are designed to be easy to use in a do-it-yourself project, eliminating installation fees and giving you a real feeling of accomplishment when you’re finished!

DIY projects have many benefits, but they can also be dangerous when certain safety precautions aren’t taken.  Take a look at the top 5 DIY safety tips below and you can avoid some unfortunate mistakes!

1)  Always protect your eyes.  Safety glasses are a DIYer’s best friend, and you don’t want to enter any project, no matter how big or small, without taking care of your eyes.  Even a trip around the yard with the lawnmower can turn into a disaster if you’re not careful!

2)  Respect electricity.  Installing wallboard shower panels won’t require you to expose any power lines, but you always want to be aware of what you’re doing and how it relates to your electricity sources.

3)  Dress for the part!  That means no open-toed shoes, and definitely don’t go barefoot.  Even something as simple as working with decor plastic panels can turn into a disaster if you are working with your body unprotected.

4)  Plan ahead!  It may sound like an organizational tip, rather than a safety tip, but the two are connected!  Know how you want to cut your decor plastic wall panels ahead of time and you will be on a great start to success.

5)  Always follow the instructions!  Do not assume that any step is arbitrary when you are putting designer panels in your shower—they are designed to help you!

Now that you have some safety tips, start exploring designs today!

This Valentine’s Day, why not try something that’s a treat for both of you!  There is no greater gift than that of recreating your living space, allowing for further comfort and personalized relaxation!

When it comes to the day of love, there is nothing sweeter than planning a romantic evening at home, in the bathroom.  That’s right, I said in the bathroom!  It may not seem like the most romantic room in the house, but with a few easy steps it can be.

Light a few candles, put on some light music, and draw a bubble bath!  For added relaxation add some bath salts, and then get ready for a romantic Valentine’s Day scrub!  And don’t forget the rose pedals!

Before doing all of that, however, you’ll want to transform your bathroom from dull and dingy to regal and pristine.  And that’s where our decor plastic wall paneling comes into the picture!  If you have not yet seen the effect created by candlelight shimmering off the reflection of a smooth finished, waterproofed panel, then now is the time!

She is sure to melt at the sight of such a romantic scene, with our professional plastic panels bringing the whole thing together.  Choose from a number of styles, colors, and designs in order to suit your tastes.

Perhaps she likes the idea of a tropical washroom?  Or maybe she’d prefer the earthy feel of natural stones?  She might even just want to add a bit more color to the room!  Either way, we have some wallboard panels that are perfect for the job!

All of our shower wallboards and shower plank panels are waterproofed specifically for use in the bathroom.  Don’t worry about splashing around once you get in the bath, because these panels can take it!  They are also easy to clean and incredibly long-lasting.  Check them out today!

Dressing Up the Car Wash

Posted on by

Car washes aren’t typically known for the beauty of design, but that doesn’t mean they can’t be!  With the help of a few of our waterproof, decor plastic panels, you could take your car wash from dull and boring to flashy and exciting!

We have a number of different panels that would be appropriate for use in a car wash because of their water resistance.  The veneer on these panels will not peel due to wetness, and the interlocking design prevents moisture from leaking underneath the panels, which can lead to problems with mold.

Cars aren’t always the only things that need cleaning in a car wash, so it’s a good thing that in addition to being water resistant, our plastic panels are super easy to clean!  The smooth texture means that dirt does not get settled into nooks and crannies, and the finish stays strong to prevent staining.

With decor plastic wall paneling, you can give your car wash the stylistic touch of your choosing.  Look through all of our colors, designs, and panel varieties in order to find the perfect match for you.  There are fashions to appeal to tastes of all kinds!

In addition to all of the features above, our decor plastic panels are affordable!  Owning and operating a business like a car wash can’t be easy, especially with the current state of the economy.  It is important in this atmosphere to find high quality materials at reasonable prices, and that is what we offer here.

Remodeling a car wash through a contractor or design company could completely empty your pockets!  Avoid installation fees, avoid unreliable panels, and avoid the stress of a third party by getting your wall panels straight from Decor Plastics!

5 DIY Bathroom Remodeling Projects

Posted on by

We have just begun 2012 and families around the country are wondering what they can do to make this year the best one yet!  Many have decided that recreating their living space is a good start, particularly in the bathroom.  Celebrate the New Year by turning your bathroom into a relaxation oasis!

We have gathered five popular DIY bathroom remodeling projects here to give you some ideas.  Some of them require our decor plastic wall paneling, and some of them are entirely separate from our products!

1)  Decorate the ceiling.  Who said that ceiling has to be white, anyway?  Why not compliment the plastic paneling on your walls with some designer panels on the ceilings?  Use the same design or mix and match for a fun and vibrant feel!

2)  Give your bathroom a theme.  Use palm leaves, leis, and sandy textures to give the room a Hawaiian theme, or hang a cowboy hat on the wall, place a horseshoe on the counter and a piece of driftwood in the corner and you’ve got yourself a western theme!

3)  Put up draperies.  Just because the bathroom isn’t well known for floor-to-ceiling windows doesn’t mean you can’t brighten the room with curtains or hangings!  If you have a window, dress it up!  If not, find an old window frame to hang on the wall, and dress that.  You will be surprised at the difference this makes, adding an element of coziness to the bathroom.

4)  Use decor plastic shower panels to liven up the shower.  Choose from a variety of earthy or exotic designs to give your shower just the right touch.  Do you want to feel like you’re showering in the jungle or on a beach?  Use the color and style of the panels as an inspiration to decorate the rest of the room.

5)  Put a frame on the mirror.  This simple step adds a classic elegance at an affordable price!

2012 is the Year for DIY Projects!

Posted on by

It is not surprising news to learn that 2011 was a rough year financially for many of us.  The economic strife means that people are much less likely to spend money on contractors and home remodeling projects, but that doesn’t mean that DIY projects are dead!

According to a recent report by Fox Business, many people are embracing do-it-yourself projects this year!  To read the full article, go here:  http://www.foxbusiness.com/personal-finance/2012/01/04/americans-to-take-diy-approach-in-2012/.

The interesting thing about this conclusion is that it does not just refer to DIY projects within the home!  Of course people will continue to see the worth in our affordable and convenient decor plastic panels, but the do-it-yourself attitude will encompass much more than redecorating.

Reporters expect that consumers will take a DIY approach whenever possible; exchanging gym memberships for a run in the park, sacrificing a hair salon for an at-home hair cut, and trading a day at the spa for a nice bubble bath at home.

Many people are making it their 2012 resolution to scale back on unnecessary expenses.  Many people find that decor plastic wall panels allow them to make big changes to their living space without spending a lot of money!

Our wall panels are affordable and easy to install, eliminating the need for expensive installation materials or service fees.  Additionally, they are durable, easy to clean, and built to last!  Not mention they are very lightweight, which is great for DIY supplies!

Not only are decor plastic panels easy to use, order, and install, but they also come in a wide variety of designs.  We have waterproof panels for the kitchen or bathroom, as well as designer panels for the living or dining room.
