Panelling (spelling paneling in the US) is a type of surface treatment primarily used in domestic applications for walls, but it can also be used to cover furniture, installed on ceilings or applied for other decorative millwork purposes.

In commercial buildings, panelling is a term that can be associated with panel-based open plan office furniture systems.

= History =

Early evidence of wood panelling appears in the 1400s, when it began to be used as a form of covering for stone walls. Acting as a type of insulation, wood panelling helped to control draughts, reflect head from fires and dampen sound. It also improved the aesthetic options for walls that could be more easily decorated.

These decorative characteristics became more sophisticated in a short period of time, as techniques from Renaissance Italy spread through its depiction in paintings and print. In Tudor England, wood panelling became highly decorative and was widely adopted in the homes of those who were rich, powerful and successful.

During this period, panelling was typically made from thin planks of oak and were often carved with patterns that were simple or intricate. A linenfold pattern that resembled a fold of fabric became popular in England in the 1500s, with more fanciful panelling appearing in the 1600s and beyond.

Examples can be seen in the Palace of Versailles, where rooms of importance are also decorated with boiserie that has been decorated with shallow-relief carvings, painted in contrasting colours and then adorned with gilding.

A similar form of oak panelling known as wainscoting became popular in England in the 1700s. In addition to protecting walls, it helped to decrease the impact of rising damp that could occur in some types of walls.

Wainscoting was originally used in floor to ceiling applications, but was later more commonly applied to just the lower portion of walls. The use of oak decreased over the years, and other types of timber became more common choices.

= Modern panelling =

Over the years, different types of materials have been used to produce panelling.

== Solid planks ==

Traditional solid wood panelling is still available and is produced as planks with a tongue and groove edge. This provides a way to fix the planks to the wall and allows movement in the timber - due to the atmosphere - to prevent splitting. Hardwoods are sometimes available, but softwoods - such as pine - are more commonly used.

== Wallboards ==

Manufactured sheet wallboards come in a wide variety of materials and are made to various standard sizes and in thicknesses. This type of panelling is made from plywood or hardboard panels that have been covered with different types of finishes. These can include timber veneers, coloured plastic or simulated wood (on printed paper), embossed brick, stone, plaster or tile. Wallboards can even be made from wood fibre boards and covered with cork, grass or fabric surfaces.

== Reproduction panelling ==

When traditional solid wood panelling is not available, there are several reproduction options. The most common are rigid, moulded urethane foam panels (sometimes available with traditional linenfold or floral patterns) or veneer-faced panels (sometimes available with oak veneers) attached to plywood.

== Industrial panelling ==

Site office panelling is usually made of galvanised steel sheet and a rigid insulation core. A plasterboard inner lining is used for walls and ceiling.
