    Wood Panelling FAQs
    Walls & ceilings basics
    What is engineered timber wall panelling?

    Engineered timber wall panelling features a solid timber veneer bonded to a backing of plywood, pine or hevea. It offers greater stability than solid timber panelling while providing the same rich, natural appearance once installed.

    What is a Lamella?

    A lamella is a thin plank or sheet of solid timber, much like a wood veneer only thicker. Lamella thickness can range from 2.5-10mm, whereas veneers are usually less than 2.5mm thick.

    What is HDF/MDF Core Wall and Ceiling Panelling?

    HDF/MDF core wall and ceiling panelling features a high-density engineered fibreboard core made from compressed wood fibres and resin. It delivers exceptional stability and a smooth, consistent surface, ideal for decorative finishes. The result is a refined, uniform appearance with improved resistance to movement compared to solid timber.
