Wood Wall Panel
Custom Wood Wall Panels Manufacturer
We manufacture custom wood wall panels for interior and exterior architectural projects — 3D carved wood wall panels, fluted and reeded profiles, wood slat wall panels, acoustic wood wall panels, mosaic wood panels and Shou Sugi Ban charred cladding. Wood species, panel dimensions, groove profile, texture depth and surface finish are all made to order, from your drawings or from a project specification.

Wood wall panel types we manufacture

CNC-carved relief in solid timber — waves, ridges, mountain and fish-scale textures cut to any depth the board thickness allows.

Concave, convex or sharp-ridge grooves at a fixed pitch, giving a continuous vertical rhythm across long runs.

Separate slats on a backing board — the same construction as wood strip wall panels, sized to the project grid.

Slats bonded to acoustic felt or mounted over a cavity, including walnut acoustic slat panels.

Small blocks laid to a geometric grid — hexagon, herringbone or random-depth — producing shadow and depth at close range.

Flat or lightly profiled boards machined from solid wood throughout, so panels can be sanded and refinished later.

Shou Sugi Ban charred cladding
Boards burned, brushed and oiled by the Japanese Yakisugi method, in light, medium and deep char depths.

Kerfed or slat-on-flexible-backing construction that wraps columns, curved reception desks and radiused walls without segmenting.

How to choose the right wood wall panel
Construction determines where a panel can go. Interior finish panels, wet-area panels
and facade cladding are not interchangeable, even when the face texture looks identical.
| Panel type | Construction | Interior / exterior | Acoustic role | Installation | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 3D carved panel | Solid timber, carved | Interior | Diffusion only | Adhesive or clip | Sculptural feature walls |
| Fluted / reeded panel | Solid timber or veneered core | Interior | Diffusion only | Adhesive or batten | Long continuous runs |
| Wood slat panel | Slats on backing board | Interior | Diffusion; absorption with felt | Screw or batten | Offices, corridors, ceilings |
| Acoustic slat panel | Slats + acoustic felt backing | Interior | Measured absorption | Batten over cavity | Meeting rooms, studios |
| Mosaic wood panel | Blocks on mesh or board | Interior | Diffusion only | Adhesive | Close-range detail walls |
| Solid wood panelling | Solid boards, T&G or square edge | Interior | None | Batten or clip | Refinishable long-life surfaces |
| Shou Sugi Ban cladding | Charred solid timber | Exterior and interior | None | Ventilated batten + drainage gap | Facades, weathered walls |
| Veneered MDF panel | Real veneer on MDF/HDF core | Interior, dry areas | Diffusion only | Adhesive or clip | Large flat spans, tighter budgets |
Two distinctions decide most specifications. First, solid wood versus engineered board: solid timber holds a deep carved profile and can be refinished; a veneered core stays flatter over wide panels and costs less. Second, sound absorption versus sound insulation — a grooved timber face reduces echo inside a room; it does not stop sound passing between rooms, and no decorative panel should be specified as soundproofing.

Construction options
- Solid timber — one material through the section. Carries deep carving, can be sanded and refinished, moves more with humidity.
- Natural veneer on MDF or HDF core — real wood face on a stable core. Flattest option over wide panels; profile depth limited by veneer thickness.
- Veneer on plywood core — better screw holding and impact resistance than MDF, used where panels are removable.
- Engineered wood veneer — reconstituted to a repeatable grain, which removes batch-to-batch colour variation on large orders.
- Carbonised timber — surface or through-thickness heat treatment, for charred cladding and exterior stability.
Before anything is machined
Incoming timber is dried and checked for moisture content before it reaches a cutter. Panels machined at the wrong moisture level will cup or open at the joints on site, regardless of how well they were finished — which is why a beautiful sample and a failed installation can come from the same factory.
Boards are then sorted by tone, so that a single elevation is machined from a single tonal group rather than assembled from whatever came off the stack.

Installation systems
Exterior work is a different discipline from interior. Charred and thermally modified boards are fixed on ventilated battens with a drainage gap behind, so water that gets past the face can leave and the board can dry from both sides — the standard practice for installing carbonised wood cladding. Sealing a timber facade tight to a solid wall is the most common cause of premature failure we see.
Facade build-up: stainless or corrosion-resistant keel frame, 5 × 5 galvanised angle irons on expansion bolts, 25 × 45 mm timber keels run horizontally at 600–1000 mm centres, each board fixed with 3–4 anti-rust self-tapping screws. Seal cut edges and the back face with protective oil before fixing — that is where water gets in.
Internal and external corners, terminations and how a panel meets a door frame or ceiling are decided at shop-drawing stage, not on site. Section details, corner details and edge trims are issued with every project order, alongside the installation videos for each panel system.
Adhesive
flat, dry, sound substrates and lighter panels. Correct panel adhesive selection matters more than quantity; the wrong product telegraphs through thin veneer.
Clip and keel systems
heavy solid wood, and walls where panels must come off again for service access.
Screw fixing
acoustic panels take at least 9 screws per panel, roughly 80 mm apart horizontally and 600 mm vertically, driven through the felt. Match screw colour to the backing.
Timber battens
45 mm battens levelled on the wall. Filling between them with mineral wool takes the assembly to Class A sound absorption.
Light steel keel
keels set about 100 mm off the wall with verticals at roughly 600 mm centres, insulation between, panels screwed to the keel.
Tongue-and-groove / shiplap
closed joints on flat boards, allowing seasonal movement.
Applications by project type
Hotel lobbies and corridors — full-height carved or fluted panels, fire class specified, colour matched across large areas.
Reception and lift lobbies — continuous grain matching around corners and returns.
Restaurants, cafés and bars — mosaic and slat panels where echo control and durability matter together.
Ceilings and curved surfaces — linear wood ceiling panels and flexible panels wrapping columns.
Offices and meeting rooms — acoustic slat panels over a cavity, integrated with lighting and AV.
Facades and garden walls — charred or thermally modified cladding on ventilated battens.
Completed installations across these building types are recorded in the project case archive, with the panel type and finish used on each.

Wood wall panel FAQ
Q: What types of wood wall panels do you manufacture?
A: 3D carved panels, fluted and reeded panels, wood slat and acoustic panels, mosaic panels, flat solid wood panelling, Shou Sugi Ban charred cladding for exteriors, and made-to-drawing architectural panels.
Q: What is the difference between solid wood and veneered wall panels?
A: A solid wood panel is machined from timber throughout, so the profile depth is real and it can be sanded and refinished. A veneered panel is a thin layer of real wood pressed onto an MDF, HDF or plywood core, which stays flatter over large spans and costs less, but the face layer limits how deep a profile can be cut.
Q: Can panel sizes and profiles be customised?
A: Yes. Length, width, thickness, groove profile, texture depth, wood species, stain colour and edge detail are all made to order. Send a drawing, a reference photo or a project specification and we quote against it.
Q: What is the MOQ for custom wood wall panels?
A: MOQ is flexible and typically starts at 50–100 m² depending on the design. A catalogue profile carries a lower minimum than a newly tooled one, because a new profile means new cutters and a setup run.
Q: Do you supply samples before bulk production?
A: Yes. Standard samples are free with shipping at your cost, and custom samples are made to your specification. Sampling turnaround is around 3 days. A full-size production sample of the actual profile is then approved before the batch is released.
Q: How long does custom production take?
A: Standard production runs 15–30 days after order confirmation, with priority scheduling for urgent projects. Species availability, profile complexity and finishing system move the date — oiled finishes need cure time between coats, and charred finishes add burn, brush and oil stages.
Q: Do wood wall panels absorb sound?
A: Our acoustic panels use a recycled PET core behind an E0-grade MDF and veneer face, reaching a noise reduction coefficient up to 1.11 depending on the assembly tested. Measurable absorption comes from the complete build-up: slat geometry, felt or mineral wool backing, cavity depth and fixing method. Sound absorption reduces echo inside a room; it is not soundproofing and will not stop sound passing between rooms.
Q: Can wood wall panels be used in bathrooms or outdoors?
A: Interior panels are made for stable, conditioned spaces. For wet areas and facades, use thermally modified or charred timber with an exterior-grade finish, ventilated battens behind the boards, and a drainage gap, so the timber can move and dry.
Q: Which installation system should I choose?
A: Adhesive suits flat, dry substrates and light panels. Clip or keel systems suit heavy solid wood and any wall that needs later access. Timber battens or a metal subframe are used on uneven walls, on ceilings and on all exterior cladding.
Q: How do you control natural wood colour variation?
A: Boards are sorted by tone before machining, a batch is finished from a single stain lot, and an approved reference sample travels with the batch. Some variation is inherent to real timber; layout drawings can distribute it deliberately rather than letting it group.
Q: Can you manufacture from architectural drawings?
A: Yes. Send elevations, sections and a finish schedule. We return a shop drawing showing panel splits, corner treatment, edge details and fixing positions for approval before cutting.
Q: How long does Shou Sugi Ban cladding last, and what maintenance does it need?
A: Charred cladding lasts 20–30 years outdoors and longer indoors. The charred surface resists rot, insects and weathering without chemical preservatives. Left alone it weathers to a silver-grey patina; to hold the original black tone, reapply natural wood oil every 2–3 years outdoors. Clean with a soft brush or damp cloth — never pressure-wash.
Q: Which timber do you use for charred cladding?
A: European Red Pine, Larch, Mongolian Scotch Pine and Cedar. These species take the burn evenly and stay dimensionally stable afterwards. Standard board size is 4000 × 135 × 20 mm, with light, medium and deep char levels available.
Q: How are wood wall panels packed for sea freight?
A: Faces are film-protected, edges take corner guards, panels are bundled by profile and colour batch, then loaded into moisture-barrier lined cartons and fumigation-compliant wooden crates or pallets. Cartons are marked with project reference, profile code and batch number.
