FLUTED WOOD PANELS

What are fluted wood panels good for?
 
For furniture building
 
Contemporary furniture designers and makers love using fluted wood panels for their projects, as the fluted feature gives a trendy and elegant look to their pieces.
 
For home decoration
 
Fluted wall panels have been featured on every interior design trend list in the past few years - they are spectacular, elegant yet minimalist, and seem to be ageless. Especially, because wall panelling has been around since the Greek and Roman periods (!) as part of the architecture.
 
How fluted wood panels are made
 
Fluted wood panels are usually made using high-precision CNC machine - just like mybettershelf wood panels. The advantage of CNC (Computerized Numerical Control) is the computerized manufacturing process in which pre-programmed software and code controls the movement of production equipment - so the surface is precisely and evenly carved.
 
Types of textured wood panels: fluted, reeded, slatted
 
These textured wood panels are usually referred to as fluted panels, however, we distinguish fluted, reeded and also slatted designs. 

• on our fluted panels, the surface has a vertical wavy (concave) pattern and its edges are smoothed out

• on our reeded panels, the surface has vertical grooves similar to a V shape, with the sharp edges slightly eased out

 
In interior design, slatted wall panels are also very popular. However, slatted panels are slightly different than our fluted and reeded designs, because those panels include separate slats. The slats are either mounted to the wall separately or mounted to a panel that keeps them together. The key difference between our fluted wood panels and the slatted panels is that our fluted panels are carved out of one piece of wood or fiberboard, while the slatted panels have separate slats arranged in a parallel order.
