Stronger than painted wall coverings

Gyproc is light: handy during installation, but less robust in use. A knock with a chair or a swinging door? Soon you'll be filling and painting. Clicwall is a wooden wall panel made from high-density MDF and up to 4x more scratch and impact resistant than plaster.

Want to hang a screen? Clicwall can hold up to 50 kg per screw.

Budget control without surprises

 

With plasterboard, costs often add up afterwards: finishing, painting, repairing damage, etc. Clicwall is an all-in-one solution for your partition or retention wall. The total cost of ownership is lower than with alternative solutions. You know where you stand in advance: handy for tight schedules and budgets.
