UV Board Buying Guide for Modern Interior Wall Cladding

UV board, often used in the market together with terms such as UV marble sheet or PVC marble sheet, is a practical decorative wall panel for modern interior projects. For importers, contractors, wholesalers and project buyers, it provides a marble-look or stone-look surface without the heavy weight, complex cutting and high installation cost of natural stone.

This article explains a broad buying guide for importers and contractors. It is written for buyers who need wall cladding materials for hotels, apartments, retail stores, bathrooms, kitchens and other indoor spaces. When comparing products, buyers can review Greencity’s PVC marble sheet page as the main related product page, and also compare it with Indoor WPC Wall Panels or PS wall panel depending on the project style.

What Is UV Board?

UV board is a decorative sheet with a printed or laminated surface protected by a UV-cured coating or wear layer. In many building material markets, buyers use the term UV board to describe high-gloss PVC marble sheet, UV marble panel, or similar decorative cladding panels used for interior walls.

Greencity’s PVC marble sheet is positioned as a rigid decorative panel with a PVC composite core, marble decorative layer and protective surface. This makes it suitable for feature walls, kitchen splashbacks, bathroom dry and wet wall areas, column wraps and elevator interiors when installed correctly.

Why Buyers Choose UV Board

The main reason buyers choose UV board is efficiency. Natural marble looks premium, but it is heavy, expensive to transport and requires skilled installation. UV board offers a decorative marble effect in a lightweight panel format, which can help reduce installation time and project cost.

For interior projects where the designer wants a stone look but the budget or building load is limited, UV board can be a practical alternative. If the project needs a warmer wood-look wall, Indoor WPC Wall Panels may be a better option; if the project needs a soft natural stone texture, Flexible Stone or PU stone can also be considered.

Key Applications

UV board is commonly used for hotel lobbies, apartment corridors, bathroom walls, kitchen backsplashes, restaurant feature walls, reception counters, retail store walls and elevator interiors. The glossy marble look is especially useful when a project needs a bright, clean and premium visual effect.

For wet or humid areas, the panel itself is only part of the system. The substrate, adhesive, joint treatment and edge sealing all affect long-term performance. Buyers should always ask suppliers for installation guidance and test samples before a large project.

How to Select the Right Specification

Before placing a bulk order, confirm panel size, thickness, surface finish, color, gloss level, packing method and loading quantity. Common decorative panels are often supplied in large sheet sizes for faster wall coverage, but exact sizes should follow the supplier’s current production range.

Surface finish is also important. High gloss finishes create a polished marble effect, while matte or satin finishes are more understated and may hide fingerprints better. For commercial projects, buyers should request physical samples under real lighting conditions before final color confirmation.

Internal Material Comparison

UV board is not the only interior wall material. For wood-look feature walls, Indoor WPC Wall Panels provide a more linear and warm design. For lightweight decorative profiles, PS wall panels may be useful. For acoustic improvement in offices, schools and hospitality spaces, acoustic panels can be added as a complementary wall solution.

A professional specification often combines several materials in one project. For example, a hotel lobby may use UV marble sheets around the reception counter, WPC wall panels behind seating areas, and acoustic panels in meeting rooms.

Buying Tips for Importers

Importers should request samples, confirm MOQ, ask for packing photos and clarify whether custom colors or private-label packaging are available. For project orders, buyers can contact Greencity with drawings, target quantity and application details so the supplier can recommend a suitable panel and installation method.

It is also useful to review the company background on the About Us page when evaluating supply reliability, especially for long-term wholesale cooperation.
