A WALL PANEL is single piece of material, usually flat and cut into a
rectangular shape, that serves as the visible and exposed covering for a wall.
Wall panels are functional as well as decorative, providing insulation and
soundproofing, combined with uniformity of appearance, along with some
measure of durability or ease of replacement.
