| 1 | Gypsum Wallboard | Gypsum core with paper or glass-fiber facing | Smooth finish, easy to cut, cost-effective, and available in standard, moisture-resistant, and fire-resistant grades. | Moderate to high, depending on grade | Good; rated assemblies can provide fire resistance | Residential interiors, offices, schools, hotels, and partitions | Fast; screw-fixed to metal or timber framing, then taped and finished |
| 2 | Fiber Cement Board | Cement, cellulose fibers, mineral fillers, and water | Dense, dimensionally stable, impact-resistant, and suitable for demanding interior or exterior conditions. | High when edges and joints are correctly sealed | Typically non-combustible; verify the tested system | Facades, wet rooms, soffits, kitchens, and high-traffic areas | Moderate; requires suitable cutting tools and corrosion-resistant fixings |
| 3 | PVC Wall Panels | Rigid polyvinyl chloride | Lightweight, waterproof surface, low maintenance, and available in many printed or textured finishes. | Very high at the panel surface | Combustible; fire rating depends on formulation and assembly | Bathrooms, utility rooms, commercial interiors, and hygienic spaces | Very fast; adhesive or batten installation with interlocking joints |
| 4 | WPC Decorative Panels | Wood fibers or flour combined with thermoplastic polymer | Wood-like appearance, consistent profiles, concealed fixing options, and good resistance to everyday stains. | Good; avoid prolonged standing water unless specifically rated | Combustible unless treated and tested to a specific standard | Feature walls, living areas, hospitality spaces, and covered exterior zones | Fast; clip, screw, or adhesive systems are commonly used |
| 5 | MDF Decorative Panels | Refined wood fibers bonded with resin | Smooth, machinable, paintable, and well suited to routed, fluted, slatted, or veneered designs. | Low to moderate; moisture-resistant grades perform better | Combustible; fire-retardant grades are available in some markets | Dry interior walls, reception areas, retail fit-outs, and furniture walls | Easy to machine and install; requires a dry, stable environment |
| 6 | Plywood Panels | Cross-laminated wood veneers | High strength-to-weight ratio, visible wood grain, good screw-holding capacity, and structural stability. | Moderate to high, depending on adhesive and grade | Combustible; protective coatings or rated assemblies may improve performance | Interior cladding, partitions, ceilings, workshops, and lightweight construction | Moderate; can be screw-fixed, nailed, or mounted on battens |
| 7 | Metal Wall Panels | Steel, aluminum, or coated metal alloys | Durable, recyclable, resistant to impact and pests, and available in ribbed, perforated, cassette, or flat formats. | High with appropriate protective coating | Metal is non-combustible; insulation and coatings require separate assessment | Commercial facades, industrial buildings, transport facilities, and interiors | Moderate; requires accurate subframes, fasteners, and detailing against corrosion |
| 8 | Acoustic PET Panels | Thermoformed or compressed polyester fiber, often containing recycled PET | Lightweight, soft to touch, design-flexible, and effective at reducing reverberation when properly spaced or backed. | Moderate; not intended for wet locations | Varies by fiber treatment and tested product configuration | Offices, classrooms, studios, restaurants, auditoriums, and meeting rooms | Easy; adhesive, clips, magnets, or mechanical fasteners are common |
| 9 | Natural Stone Veneer Panels | Thin natural stone, stone strips, or stone-faced engineered backing | Distinct natural appearance, high surface durability, UV stability, and strong architectural appeal. | High; substrate and joints still require correct detailing | Generally non-combustible; backing and adhesive must be assessed | Feature walls, fireplaces, hospitality projects, facades, and landscaping structures | Moderate to demanding; substrate strength, leveling, and jointing are important |
| 10 | OSB Panels | Oriented strands of wood bonded under pressure | Strong and economical sheet material with a distinctive appearance; structural grades are widely used in construction. | Moderate; select the correct exposure class and protect edges | Combustible; performance depends on grade, treatment, and assembly | Structural sheathing, interior design walls, temporary spaces, and workshops | Fast; panel joints, edge gaps, and moisture protection must be properly detailed |
