Materials & Care

ACM is a strong, durable material made from two thin aluminum sheets with a solid core in between. It is known for being lightweight yet very sturdy. Because it doesn’t rust or warp, it’s a great choice for outdoor privacy panels, especially in patios, decks, or garden areas exposed to changing weather.

Cleaning ACM panels is simple. Just use a soft cloth or sponge with mild soap and water. Avoid harsh cleaners or abrasive pads, as they can scratch the outer layer. Rinse with clean water and wipe dry to prevent water spots. For outdoor use, it's a good idea to check the mounting hardware once or twice a year to make sure the privacy panel stays secure.

HDPE is a tough plastic that’s commonly used in garden privacy panels and patio privacy panels. It’s weather-resistant, doesn’t absorb moisture, and won’t rot or rust. This makes HDPE perfect for outdoor use and high-traffic areas.

Maintenance is minimal. Simply hose it off or clean it with a damp cloth and gentle soap. Stains or scuffs usually come off easily. Just avoid placing HDPE panels too close to high heat, like grills, to protect your custom made room divider or outdoor privacy panel.

Plywood is a strong material made by gluing thin layers of wood together. It’s often used for indoor room dividers because it holds its shape well and works beautifully with natural wood finishes. Plywood panels can feature a variety of surface designs and patterns that give your room a unique touch.

To care for privacy panels made from plywood, keep them dry and dust them regularly with a microfiber cloth. Wipe up any spills quickly to avoid stains. Over time, if the surface starts to dull, you can gently sand and apply a clear finish to refresh the look. Avoid placing plywood room dividers in damp areas.

MDF is a smooth, dense material made from wood fibers. It's great for detailed carving and modern designs, which makes it ideal for custom made room dividers and indoor privacy panels. MDF provides a clean, even surface that looks elegant when painted or coated.

Since MDF is not water-resistant, it should only be used indoors. Clean it using a soft, dry cloth or a cloth lightly dampened with water. Be sure not to soak the surface. Always seal all sides of the privacy panel during installation to protect it from humidity.

PVC panels are lightweight and naturally resistant to moisture. This makes them a good choice for bathrooms, kitchens, or semi-covered outdoor spaces like patios. PVC holds color well and allows for intricate cut-out patterns that enhance privacy panels for US homes.

To clean PVC room dividers, just use a mild soap solution and a soft cloth. Rinse and dry to keep the finish looking fresh. In sunny areas, consider placing PVC privacy panels in partial shade or using a UV protectant to reduce fading over time.

Bamboo is a renewable material known for its strength and natural warmth. It’s a great eco-friendly option for clients who want a stylish yet sustainable indoor room divider. Bamboo panels can bring a calming, organic feel to any space, whether in a home or a spa.

To care for bamboo privacy panels, dust them weekly and apply a light coat of natural wood oil once a year to maintain their finish. Bamboo can fade or crack under direct sunlight, so it’s best placed in shaded or indoor areas.

Walnut is a beautiful hardwood with rich color and natural grain. Solid walnut panels offer a luxurious, long-lasting finish. Veneered walnut panels, which feature a thin layer of walnut over a strong core, provide a similar look at a lighter weight. Both are perfect for custom made room dividers used in stylish living spaces or boutique offices.

Keep walnut room dividers looking their best by dusting them often and applying a wood polish or conditioner once or twice a year. Avoid harsh cleaners and wipe up spills right away to prevent damage. Place panels away from direct heat or moisture to protect the wood.

Red Oak is a durable North American hardwood that adds a classic look to custom privacy panels. It works well in both modern and traditional interiors. Its natural grain brings texture and warmth to any room divider application.

To maintain red oak privacy panels, wipe them down with a dry cloth and use wood-safe cleaners as needed. Avoid exposing them to high humidity or wet environments. A light touch-up finish can be applied over time to keep the panel’s natural beauty intact.

Decorative-grade aluminum composite panels feature stylish finishes like brushed metal or color effects. These panels are eye-catching and are often used in privacy panels for office settings or upscale indoor room dividers.

To clean these panels, use a soft cloth with water and mild soap. Avoid using anything that could scratch the surface. Dry the panels completely after cleaning to maintain their sleek finish.

To keep your privacy panels and room dividers looking their best, clean them regularly using soft cloths and gentle cleaners. Avoid abrasive materials or strong chemicals. For outdoor privacy panels, check all mounting brackets and hardware at least twice a year. For indoor room dividers, avoid excess moisture and heat sources. With just a little care, your CraftivaArt panels will stay beautiful and last for years.
