Whether adorning a luxurious hotel lobby or adding a contemporary contrast to a corporate office, wood wall paneling has the ability to elevate a space and leave a lasting impression. Explore the key benefits of this versatile design element below.
Acoustic Eco-Slat panels absorb sound rather than reflecting it, eliminating echoes and noise build-up. This makes them suitable for commercial spaces, including conference rooms, lobbies and libraries.
Texture
Whether used as an accent wall or a focal point, wall panels can add texture and personality to any space. They can help direct traffic flow, highlight key features, create seating, or display collections. It’s easy to see why they are a popular choice for bars, restaurants, cafes, and more.
Wood wall paneling's texture provides a visually appealing aesthetic with variations in color, making it a perfect option for bringing warmth and character into a commercial interior space.
At Modern Slats, wall paneling is available in an assortment of colors, textures, patterns, and finishes to suit any style or theme.
Another reason to choose timber wall cladding for your business is its durability. It is very resistant to damage, which makes it a great option for areas that have high footfall.
Small knocks and scratches in paintwork can quickly make a space appear tired and unkempt, but with paneling, minor blemishes are virtually undetectable and blend into the surface’s charm and character.
Decorative wall panels can also provide some sound insulation. With unique backings, Modern Slats' acoustic panels are designed with acoustic properties in mind. This feature is particularly beneficial if your business occupies a building with tenants living above.
Durability
Wood wall paneling may seem like an old-fashioned style that's out of fashion, but this design feature has proven to stand the test of time. It's a versatile material that can be used to add character, texture, and visual interest to walls. It can also used to make a space feel warmer and more comfortable and provide sound absorption.
In addition to the aesthetics of wall paneling, it's a durable material that can withstand high-traffic areas and frequent use.
Whether the panels are made from traditional solid wood, medium-density fiberboard (MDF), or melamine, they can handle all the knocks, bangs, and scrapes that come with a commercial setting. They are also moisture-resistant, meaning they won't warp or become brittle in wet spaces.
Another reason wood wall panels are so durable is that they are naturally resistant to insect infestations, fungus, and mildew. They are also easy to clean and maintain, making them a smart choice for spaces that receive a lot of foot traffic or frequent use.
Unlike the classic, rustic look of wooden wall paneling, contemporary wood cladding is designed with ease and convenience in mind.
For example, a modern product called Slatpanel(r) is supplied with narrow veneers already applied to a rigid or flexible backing (depending on whether acoustic sound insulation is required), which means it can be installed in a fraction of the time that solid wood panels require and without the need for onsite finishing.
Insulation
Wall paneling is a great insulator. It keeps your home warm in the winter and cool in the summer, and it can also have positive acoustic properties.
Depending on the type of wood wall panels you choose, they can also contribute to your green footprint and help reduce your energy bills.
Many people imagine dark walnut-clad walls when they think of wood paneling, but there are now a whole host of designs and finishes available, making it possible to create a bright, airy space.
From pine to teak root, you can now achieve the look with a lighter finish that will brighten up any room.
If you’re looking for something even more unique, then why not consider reclaimed wood panels? These are often made from old railway sleepers, floorboards and reclaimed oak that has been preserved in peat bogs for thousands of years.
Whether you are using wood paneling to create a feature wall or clad an entire room, we have the products to suit your commercial interior.

Versatility
Decorative wood wall panels have a wide range of applications that make them suitable for many types of commercial spaces. You can use it to direct foot traffic, create seating areas, add decorative accents, highlight key areas, or infuse warmth. Wood cladding can even be carved to add extra visual interest to walls or surfaces.
This paneling is also easy to customize to suit a company’s aesthetic goals and match its brand image. For example, using reclaimed wood panels for wall paneling can reflect the company’s commitment to sustainability and environmental responsibility while still creating a stylish and professional office space.
Whether it is solid or veneer, wood wall paneling can be stained or painted in a variety of colors to suit a design style and match any color scheme.
For a warm, rustic look, for instance, wood planks can be painted or stained in a rich shade like cranberry red to complement the room’s furnishings.
Another option is to use board and batten-style wood cladding, which uses alternating rows of one-to-ten boards with one-to-three battens between each row.
Cedar is a good choice for this style because it is soft and can be easily sealed to prevent moisture damage. When properly maintained, wood cladding will last for decades. However, it is important to remember that if the cladding is exposed to harsh sunlight or humidity, it may deteriorate over time.
