Ekena Millwork 1/4-in x 22-in x 12-in Smooth White PVC Fretwork Wall Panel

Nice for tub surround but delivered wrong size!

I ordered 2 pairs of these, 16 inch and 18 inch wide. I used the 16x12x3/8ths in a tub surround without issue, however, the two 18 inch x 3/8ths I ordered was actually delivered as 18x12x1/4. I used them only because I couldn't hold the job up to wait for the correct thickness. It cost me a lot of time to work around this snafu.

Sturdy

More sturdy than I expected. Does have an odor when you first unpack so you need some ventilation. The finishing is rough and needs to be sanded.

bad packaging

packed too tight in box and damaged bad packaging ne buffer between panels

May need light sanding before painting

It was well-packed and as pictured. The only thing is that the factory spray paint left a rough surface, and I'll have to do some sanding to smooth it out.

Ekena fretwork panel is very rough around edges

The panel is nice but will trap dirt in the pores where it was routed if not painted. I have included close up photos to show how rough the surface is. The front smooth surface is nice though.

Great product

I wanted wainscoting without the measuring and getting the guys at the hardware store to cut pieces for me. These are perfect. I wouldn't say they're PVC like you would use on pipes. It more feels and acts like particle board that hasn't been covered yet. The back feels like PVC. I painted them ahead of time, like the directions said. I hired someone to hang these for me and he made several recommendations, and none of them were what the directions suggested. He hung them like pictures by adding...

Not PVC

This is made of wood not PVC like it shows and indicates in the description.

Slab interior doors

Added a beautiful look to slab doors and closet bi-fold doors by simply gluing the panels to the doors using Power Grip. The new door panels were caulked , the doors were freshly painted, added all new brass hinges and door hardware, they look beautiful . By adding the panels it was less expensive than replacing the doors and reduced my labor hours .
