The 7 Different Wall Systems You Can Choose From

Wall systems are quickly gaining popularity in homeowners and builders who want all the benefits of having one installed. Depending on the kind of wall system you have in place, this add-on can help lower the costs of electricity, maintain even temperature, resist heat, and with the added benefit of waterproofing.

But exactly what type of wall systems are available today? Here’s what you should know about each type.

1. Decorative Mosaic Quartz or Flake Finish

This wall system is primarily for aesthetic reasons, the multicolored flakes creating a very appealing design that doesn’t feel old overnight. Always looking fresh, the addition of this finish also creates an easier to clean surface and adds to the durability of the walls. Often a good way of adding a splash of color into the room, the right shade of decorative mosaic quartz can make a room instantly brighter without artificial lighting.

2. Antimicrobial Agent Additive

This add-on is perfect for structures where chances of bacteria growth and transmission is higher than most. The antimicrobial agent additive is added into the polymer to help control harmful elements such as fungus, germs, or mildew. It’s not surprising that you’ll often find this coating in kitchen utensils, garbage bins, appliances, food processing equipment, and even medical devices. In homes or structures – the wall system would be perfect for the kitchen, the bathroom, or perhaps in hospitals, clinics, and vet offices.

3. Reinforced Fiberglass Cloth

This wall system comes in different subtypes but almost all have the same end result: creating a stronger, more durable, and energy-efficient wall. It can resist extreme weather changes so that when added to an existing wall, it actually helps keep the integrity of the structure. Now, this material might seem like cloth and very easy to manipulate, but the unique structure of the product makes it the idea add on to a wall without adding too much weight to the existing foundation.

4. Flexible Impact Resistant Membrane Wall System

This add-on basically functions as added protection from the elements. The membrane is sandwiched between the exterior and the interior walls, acting as a barrier from water vapor intrusion from the outside. By keeping the interior wall safe and dry, it helps extend the life of the wall and keep everyone indoors safe.

5. UV Stable Urethane Seal Coats

As the name suggests, this type of coating is partnered with paints that are not built to withstand UV rays. It’s a very thin coat and functions primarily for protection so the color underneath is still obvious and makes up the whole aesthetic you want for the wall. Not only is it durable against the sun but the surface also resists abrasion and helps create a longer lasting coat. Obviously, this works best for outdoor structures like the gazebo or the patio.

6. Chemical and Stain Resistant Seal Coats

As the name suggests, these coats are built to withstand contact with chemical products as well as preventing stain from sticking on the surface. This makes it a good choice for many kitchens.

7. Seamless Floor/Wall Transition to Create a Seamless Environment

To create the illusion of space, you can also purchase an add-on which allows transition from the floor to the wall. By creating a continuous flow of design, you can create a more welcoming room for everyone.

Note that wall systems are installed as add-ons to existing walls and are therefore dependent on the quality of the wall they’re being applied on. You want to make sure that the wall and the wall systems are both built with quality, thereby making sure that they’ll do exactly what they’re supposed to.
