The Panel Hub Trade & Professional Program
At The Panel Hub (TPH), we understand that professional projects require more than just premium materials; they require a reliable supply chain, technical documentation, and a partner who understands the stakes of a construction timeline. Our Trade & Professional Program is designed specifically for architects, interior designers, general contractors, and developers who demand the highest standards of architectural surfacing and acoustic performance.
By joining our professional network, you gain access to the full weight of TPH engineering, including our proprietary ChromaShield™ UV-Guard and CoreShield™ moisture-stable systems. We provide the tools and support necessary to take your project from the initial mood board to a high-value completion, whether you are upgrading an office space, renovating a client's living room, or other interior projects.

ChromaShield™: Color Retention for Public Spaces
Public lobbies and commercial offices are often subject to harsh, inconsistent lighting. Traditional wood panels bleach or yellow over time, creating an uneven aesthetic that can reflect poorly on the designer. Our ChromaShield™ UV-Guard topcoat contains micronized UV absorbers that protect the wood grain from photo-oxidation. This ensures that the aesthetic you present in your renderings is the aesthetic that remains on the wall for years to come.
CoreShield™: Dimensional Stability in Variable Climates
Humidity is the primary cause of panel failure. Standard MDF cores can swell and warp, leading to delamination. TPH panels utilize CoreShield™ Technology, a resin-infused, high-density wood fiber core engineered for moisture resistance. This stability is critical for large-scale installations where panel alignment must remain perfect across vast surface areas.

Pricing and Cost Savings
Members receive exclusive trade pricing, which can include tiered discounts based on order volume or project size. This reduces material costs on larger jobs and improves project margins, especially important for firms regularly specifying wall systems in commercial or residential builds.
Businesses pay standard retail pricing. This pricing is still competitive for high-quality architectural panels but does not include volume incentives.
Priority Support and Dedicated Assistance
Trade members receive priority access to dedicated support, including assistance with project planning, material takeoffs, installation recommendations, and scheduling. This tailored support reduces back-and-forth and helps avoid costly mistakes on site.
Standard customer support is available for ordering, technical questions, and basic product guidance.
Project Lead Times and Logistics
Businesses often benefit from priority production scheduling and freight coordination, helping align deliveries with project timelines and reducing the risk of delays that can disrupt contractor schedules or client commitments.
Orders are processed and fulfilled on a standard schedule, which works well for most individual installs.
Sample and Specification Resources
Members typically have expanded access to sample panels, specification documents, and BIM files, making it easier to present options to clients, coordinate with architects, and include detailed materials in drawings and proposals.
Sample access and product information are available but may come with standard restrictions (e.g., limited sample quantities).
Long-Term Relationship and Repeat Business Perks
Businesses build a long-term relationship with TPH, unlocking perks like cumulative volume bonuses, early access to new finishes or products, and streamlined reorder processes. This strengthens procurement reliability and can lead to preferred pricing or service terms over time.
Each order is treated as a standalone purchase, with standard post-sale support.
Step-by-Step: How to Use Your TPH Trade Account
Step 1: Apply for a Trade Account
Start by submitting your Trade application with your business details (company name, role, website or portfolio, and basic contact info). This step ensures your account is verified and sets you up for trade-only pricing and support. Once approved, you will be able to log in and see your trade benefits automatically.
Step 2: Log in to Unlock Trade Pricing
After approval, sign in before browsing. This is important because trade pricing and trade-only perks typically appear only when you are logged in. It also ensures your cart reflects the correct pricing tier, so you can quote clients accurately from the start.
Step 3: Place the Order Using Trade Checkout
Add your confirmed quantities to cart, verify trade pricing is applied, and check out under your trade account. This ensures your pricing, records, and support are tied to your trade profile for easier reorders and project tracking.
Step 4: Use Trade Support for Installation Guidance
Before installation day, trade members can use support for best practices based on the job type. This includes adhesive vs. screw recommendations, ceiling install guidance, cut planning around outlets, and tips for a clean finished edge. This step reduces install risk and prevents avoidable mistakes.
Step 5: Manage Reorders or Add-Ons Without Project Disruption
If you need additional panels for a change order or last-minute scope expansion, trade accounts make reordering faster. Your finishes, pricing, and order history are already saved, reducing admin work and helping you get materials without restarting the purchasing process.
