Fluted panels add rhythm and depth to a wall: vertical grooves that catch the light and break up a large surface. Planning one is mostly a question of width. Every fluted panel in our range is 3000 mm long, so the height of a typical room is covered by one length, and the number of pieces depends on the width of the wall and of the profile you choose.
Here is how the main profiles compare, and how to work out what you need.
Our ten fluted profiles run from 40 mm to 170 mm wide and from 8.8 mm to 24 mm thick. Wider profiles give a bolder, more architectural look; narrower ones read as a fine texture.
| Panel | Width | Thickness | Weight per piece |
|---|---|---|---|
| 170 Bamboo and Wood Grating | 170 mm | 23.5 mm | 4 kg |
| 157 Inner Arc Grille | 157 mm | 18.5 mm | 4.2 kg |
| 153 × 24 Solid Grid | 153 mm | 24 mm | 5.9 kg |
| 150 Arc Grid | 150 mm | 15 mm | 3.3 kg |
| 120 × 9 Solid Grid | 120 mm | 9 mm | 2.4 kg |
| 110 × 18 Solid Grid | 110 mm | 18 mm | 4.5 kg |
The range also includes a 160 Triangular Grille (160 × 18 mm), a 150 Bamboo and Wood Grating (150 × 8.8 mm) and two corrugated gratings, 40 mm and 70 mm wide.
Divide the width of the wall by the width of the profile and round up to the next whole piece. For a wall 2.4 m wide:
| Panel | Width | Pieces for a 2.4 m wide wall |
|---|---|---|
| 170 Bamboo and Wood Grating | 170 mm | 15 |
| 157 Inner Arc Grille | 157 mm | 16 |
| 153 × 24 Solid Grid | 153 mm | 16 |
| 150 Arc Grid | 150 mm | 16 |
| 120 × 9 Solid Grid | 120 mm | 20 |
| 110 × 18 Solid Grid | 110 mm | 22 |
These figures use the listed width of each profile. Check the product page, or ask us, for the face width once the panels are joined, and add a spare piece to allow for cutting around sockets and switches.
In a room up to 3 m high each piece covers the full height. In a room 2.4 m high each length leaves a 600 mm offcut, which can often be used for a short section above a door or below a window.
Where a fluted wall stops at an open edge, an edge strip gives a neat finish. Matching edge strips are made for four profiles:
Each edge strip is 3000 mm long, so one strip finishes one end of a wall up to 3 m high. A wall with two open ends needs two.
Every fluted profile and edge strip comes in two finish series: Classic, with wood grain, solid colour, cloth pattern and stone finishes, and Metal. Order the panels and edge strips for one wall together, in the same series and finish.
