Why Decorative Metal Panels Beat Traditional Materials

While drywall and wood dominate interior design, decorative wall metal panels offer surprising advantages. A 2024 Grand View Research report shows metal wall cladding demand grew 12% year-over-year, driven by durability and customization options. Unlike fragile materials, our team’s 2025 hotel lobby project used CNC-cut metal panels that survived 3 years without scratches.
