The Panel Hub™ vs The Wood Veneer Hub

6 Reasons Why Customers Choose The Panel Hub™ Over The Wood Veneer Hub

Real Wood Veneer
Icon

Real Wood Veneer

TPH™ panels use real wood veneer for natural warmth, texture, and one-of-a-kind grain, finished with the TPH-exclusive 3-sided smooth edge for a furniture-grade look in any home or project. TPH panels can be install DIY in under 2 hours and are backed by FSC®-certified sourcing, EPDs, and fire-tested by SGS.

What competitors use:

Engineered veneer that often needs oiling. The Premium Oiled option is decorative only and does not really protect the wood. In the long term, edges may peel, surface may scratch more easily. At the end, it is less durable because engineered veneer is made from plastics or adhesives; not biodegradable.

3-Sided Finish for a Seamless Look
Icon

3-Sided Finish for a Seamless Look

All three visible sides are fully finished, so walls, ceilings, and corners look built-in from any angle. No edge trims or cover strips needed. Its continuous, unified lines create designer-grade result wherever edges are exposed.

What competitors use:

Panel by The Wood Veneer Hub uses face-only veneer. Side edges are not finished, so exposed ends typically need trims or onsite finishing, especially at corners, ceilings, and open runs.

Rounded Edge Finish + AcuFelt™
Icon

Rounded Edge Finish + AcuFelt™

SoundPanel™ has smooth, rounded edges for a softer, furniture-grade look. The gentle curve helps prevent bumps or snags. Its AcuFelt™ backing is high-density acoustic felt (9 mm, 1,900 gsm, 0.85 NRC) that absorbs up to 85% of mid and high-frequency noise, and adds light thermal insulation to help keep rooms warmer in winter and cooler in summer.

What competitors use:

The Wood Veneer Hub makes you decode lab graphs and install notes, no clear NRC for the panel itself and no usable dB numbers. “Class A” only if you add Rockwool behind the panels. Too technical, easy to misread, and likely to disappoint in real rooms.

UV Protection and Water-Resistant
Icon

UV Protection and Water-Resistant

Every panel receives a UV-resistant clear coat that locks in color and resists sun fade for years (up to 90% less fading), plus a water-resistant CoreShield™ core made from high-density MR-MDF to handle moisture and humidity. Result: warp-free performance in kitchens or even bathrooms.

What competitors use:

The Wood Veneer Hub has no UV or water-resistance specifications; its Premium Oiled finish is defined as just decorative and not resistant to water, humidity, heat, or UV. There is no mention of an MR-MDF moisture-resistant core, and consumers are advised to be aware of batch color variation and mixing sizes.

More Flexible Return Experience
Icon

More Flexible Return Experience

The Panel Hub goes a step further with a 60-day return period, giving you longer time to decide with confidence. Wall panels are a considered purchase, and we believe customers deserve enough time to receive, inspect, and evaluate them properly in their own space without feeling rushed.

What competitors use:

The Wood Veneer Hub offers offer a 30-day return window only. You won't have more time to inspect and plan installation at your own pace. It's a higher purchase risk, especially for renovation and design projects.

Backed by 5-Year Warranty
Icon

Backed by 5-Year Warranty

We back every panel with a 5-year manufacturer’s warranty, covering issues like warping, delamination, finish inconsistencies, and structural problems. Our warranty focuses on what truly matters, and if you need help, you’ll get fast, direct access to our in-house team, no third-party claims or call centers.

We also offer a 60-day return policy worldwide, reflecting our confidence in our products and our commitment to a hassle-free shopping experience.

What competitors use:

The Wood Veneer Hub lacks a clear warranty page, and their return policy is only 30 days, which may be not ideal for US customers. They also impose a 25% restocking fee for returns after 30 days, particularly if the items are excess or due to client changes.
