What are slatted wall panels?
Slatted wall panels are decorative panels in the form of vertical profiles, which are mounted on the surface of a wall or ceiling. They have an aesthetic and practical function. They improve the appearance of the interior, and in addition can have a positive effect on the acoustics of the room. Wooden slats are very popular, but for interior design we recommend decorative slats created from extremely durable material.
These popular stucco elements available in our offer are made from innovative PolyForce plastic. This material is characterized by high density, mechanical resistance, low water absorption and dimensional stability. Slatted wall panels made of this material are not subject to deformation under the influence of moisture, UV radiation or temperature fluctuations. So you can use slatted wall panels in rooms exposed to moisture, including bathrooms, kitchens or spa areas with minimalist decor.
If you are just beginning your adventure with slatted wall panel decoration, we recommend you pay attention to classic white slatted wall panels. They are available in two versions:
- With a matte coating, for example, LO1O1, LO3O1 and LO2O1 – they have been coated with a special primer, or polished primer. Thanks to the matte surface, you can easily paint them with water-based paint of any color. Remember to paint the slatted wall panels twice, especially for dark shades – this will give you a uniform layer of color. To do this, you can use spray painting or reach for a brush with soft bristles.
- With a satin coating, and including LO1O1P and LO2O1P, LO3O1P – have been covered with an additional layer of special coating. They are distinguished by a satin finish in RAL9003 shade, which gives the interior an elegant, yet modern character. The SupremeSatin coating is a protection, thanks to which the slatted wall panels retain their appearance and durability for many years – without worrying about damage or signs of use

Slatted wall panels – what benefits do they offer?
First of all, slatted wall panels increase the aesthetic and market value of the property. An interior enriched with such decorative elements definitely stands out from other arrangements. However, this is not all. There are many more reasons for choosing to use slatted wall panels:
Improving acoustics
In addition to decorative aspects, slatted wall panels can be used for practical purposes, such as improving acoustics. Thus, by installing slatted wall panels in the living room or home office, you increase the comfort of daily use of the interior.
Emphasize the geometry of the room
Slatted wall panels mounted vertically emphasize the geometry of a given space. In rooms with lower ceilings, they optically elevate the interior, and additionally give it elegant proportions. Thus, you can improve the visual feeling of spaciousness without the need for physical remodeling.
Playing with light
A slatted wall panel perfectly exposes light effects, creating a cozy and stylish atmosphere in the interior. When you combine slatted wall panels with LED strips, you get a chiaroscuro effect that is difficult to achieve with other decorative methods. Precise light exposes the structure of the material, bringing out the details of the surface and emphasizing its spatiality.
Visual partition
In the case of open space arrangements, slatted wall panels act as a subtle visual partition. Such stucco elements help to delineate the boundaries between functional zones, such as between the living room and the kitchen or the bedroom and the dressing room – and without the need to build additional partitions.
Where will slatted wall panels perform well?
Installation of slatted wall panel will allow you to change the style of the interior. This solution will work especially well:
- In the kitchen – install slatted wall panels as an alternative to typical ceramic tiles over the worktop. Such decorative elements will help you maintain cleanliness. You can additionally protect the slatted wall panel with tempered glass to ensure stain resistance. SupremeSatin slatted wall panels will work great as a modern decorative element between cabinets. You can also use slatted wall panels to visually separate the cooking area from the dining area. Remember that slatted wall panels for kitchens are available in our offer – the dark oak LO1O4 and natural oak LO1O6 versions have been very popular lately.
- In the living room – this is where slatted wall panels serve a decorative as well as practical function. Use them, for example, as a striking cladding for sliding doors to hide the entrance to the utility room. Illuminate this design with LED strips to create a unique atmosphere in the living space. In addition, an interesting procedure is to combine slatted wall panels of different widths in one composition, for example, LO1O4 with LO2O4 – then the spatial effect will be expressive and remarkable. Of course, our stucco is also recommended for the hallway. Slatted wall panels transform boring uniform surfaces.
- In the bedroom – use the slatted wall panel to finish the wall behind the headboard of the bed – then you can dispense with an upholstered headrest. Thanks to the vertical arrangement of profiles, you will get the impression of greater interior height, improving its proportions. You can incorporate vertical mirrors between the slatted wall panels, which will further deepen the space. Backlighting from below with a soft LED light will give subtlety to the interior and create a cozy atmosphere conducive to relaxation.
- In the office – use slatted wall panels to create a space with improved sound insulation. Vertical panels mounted on the wall behind the desk will minimize noise and improve concentration. For a slatted wall panel in an office, it’s worth using a matte surface, which you can easily paint in a color consistent with your company’s corporate identity. You can also place functional shelves between the slatted wall panels for documents or small plants to enliven the office space.
