Solid Slat Panel Sample Kit

Because wood tone reads differently in your room than it does on a screen. North-facing light, warm bulbs and the color of your existing floor all shift how a finish looks — and Solid panels are a considered purchase you'll live with for years. Holding the real material against your wall settles it in about ten seconds.

Yes — samples are cut from the same production material as the full panels. Same slats, same depth, same felt backing, same finish. The only difference is the size.

The Solid series is Solid American Walnut, Solid American Oak and Solid Bamboo. Walnut is the darkest — deep chocolate with sweeping grain. Oak is the lightest and warmest, golden with open grain. Bamboo sits between them in tone and is by far the most uniform, with very little variation slat to slat.

Construction is identical: eight solid 13mm slats on 9mm acoustic felt, two panels to a box, no veneer or core in any of them.

What differs is character. The hardwoods carry real grain variation — cathedral figure on one slat, quiet straight grain on the next — which is the point of them. Bamboo is dimensionally consistent and visually uniform, which is the point of that. It's also the most sustainable of the three: bamboo matures in years where hardwood takes decades.

No — none of the Solid panels carry a fire rating. If fire performance is a requirement for your project, check with your contractor or your local building code before ordering.

Every Solid panel is backed with 9mm acoustic felt, which softens echo and takes the hard edge off rooms with a lot of bare surfaces — much like a rug does on a hard floor. None of the three carries a formal acoustic rating.

To be clear about what none of them do: this is sound absorption, not soundproofing. Slat panels won't stop noise coming through a shared wall, and no wall covering will.

It depends which finish you choose, because the two run to slightly different widths. One box covers 23.62 inches of wall width in Solid American Walnut or Oak, and 25.20 inches in Solid Bamboo. Each box holds two panels.

Measure your wall width in inches, divide by the figure for your finish, and round up. A 10-foot wall is 120 inches — six boxes in hardwood, five in bamboo.

Yes. Every slat in the Solid series is one piece of real material, 13mm (about half an inch) deep, milled front to back — not a thin veneer skin wrapped over a pine or MDF core. Cut a slat anywhere along its length and the cut face is the same as the front face. It's the whole reason the range exists.

Yes. Solid panels cut like timber — a fine-tooth blade on a circular saw, track saw, jigsaw or handsaw all work — and because each slat is solid the whole way through, a trimmed edge looks finished rather than exposing a pale core.

They fix to the wall with screws or construction adhesive, straight onto drywall or into studs. They aren't peel-and-stick. Indoor use only.
