Despite the fact that these are the real solid panels, they are ranked with a variety of wooden wallpaper. They are tightly fitted to each other, the width of which can vary depending on the designer idea. The thickness of the panels is no more than 2 cm.

The cost of wooden panels depends on their dimensions and the tree of wood, from which they are made. There are pine, nut, oak, beech, birch and other options.

For the manufacture of wooden wallpapers from TMD, various varieties of wood are used, including valuable tropical instances. At the same time, not every specialist will be able to accurately determine what tree the coating is made, so there is a risk of buying wooden wallpapers from pine, paying for them as for oak.

In this case, the kel can be applied both to the bottom layer (crumb) and the veneer itself or both layers. The thickness of such wallpaper is 2 mm with a roll width of 50 cm and a length of 10 m.
3. Ordinary corkscrew wallpapers are the cheapest, and therefore is a popular type of natural wood wallpapers. A millimeter layer of a veneer of a natural color or a painted with a kel is applied to the base of thick paper. The size of the rolls is the same as in the previous species - 0.5x10m.
