You have several options.

PVC, WPC and Timber. Obviously the cheapest will be PVC.

Cost depends on site, but I normally charge between 20 to 40/sf. I'm not the cheapest in the market as I am a timber flooring specialist, and we normally do higher end residences and large projects. A general contractor or a plaster ceiling guy might do it for cheaper, so shop around.

Just to elaborate further,

PVC and timber you will generally use indoors, while the WPC type you will use outdoors, for either ceiling paneling or wall paneling.




This is our WPC which is Made in Malaysia, and not a china import.

Not to say if it is inferior or superior. They are different products.

PVC is indoor use only. they dont have the heat, dimensional stability and UV resistance of WPC.

WPC is heavier duty and made with the same materials and durability as external WPC decking. They feel more solid and heavy weight.


PVC is fine indoors and does have its own benefits, such as lighter weight. Important if you are going to be ceiling mounted, any plaster ceiling contractor can install them without too much issues. Due to the heavier weight of WPC, your support structures need to be more robust to carry the extra weight so there is also additional cost implications there as well, along with the more expensive WPC panels.

PM me for details as I am a supplier and contractor. I do not wish to advertise on this forum and would prefer to stay neutral and unbiased for the sake of the forum.

However that said, there are about 5 or 6 suppliers of PVC and WPC in the market. Most are import material, and 1 locally manufactured producer. A simple Google search will yield you names like GRM, Timberdeck, and a few more others. Manufacturers doing WPC decking will also do WPC paneling products.

But for budget consideration, WPC is roughly twice the price of PVC. General pricing for PVC to WPC would be about 25 to 45/SF installed depending on complexity / difficulty of install and types of material used. So the range is pretty wide.
