Which Timber Panelling is Best to Use in Your Ceilings and Walls?
If you’re looking to promote a warm, natural look for your interior, that doesn’t skimp on style, timber panelling can be the ideal fit. Available in a huge range of options, the versatility of wood allows you to choose a colour, size and finish that perfectly matches your design.
From traditional charm to contemporary class, right through to the sleek modern styles of today, timber panelling can help you achieve your perfect look. In addition, timber panelling brings other benefits to your space, including durability, insulation properties and amazing acoustics.
Whether you are considering adding timber panelling to your home, or are designing a restaurant, office, school or other commercial or community space, there are some key aspects you should know before you start to help you get the maximum benefit. Read on to discover our top tips.
Different types of timber panelling explained
The versatility of timber panelling comes from the extensive range of options available. For example, at Maxiply our product range includes the popular all-rounder Maxi Panel, which is available in two sizes , three thicknesses, two timbers and eighteen colours. Other panels available (which also come with various size, thickness, timber and colour options) include the shiplap profile Maxi Clad, the statement piece Maxi Edge, and for optimum acoustics, Maxi Perforated Panels, to name a few.
Which is the best timber panelling for ceilings?
Plywood panelling is perfect for creating an impressive ceiling that also includes some very important practical features too. In the recent Traralgon Secondary College project, both solid and perforated Maxi Veneer Plantation Oak panels were used to create an inviting and energetic space with excellent acoustics. The showstopping qualities of timber panel ceilings is on display in the spectacular Donvale Christian College too, where Maxi Veneer was used to create a striking feature ceiling, and matching wall linings to create a wonderful sense of cohesion throughout the school.
A 12mm thickness is appropriate for ceiling linings, and with perforations- we can meet higher acoustic ratings, nailing your compliance issues. There are also several installation methods for ceilings; such as our acoustic mounting system and concealed plug system.
Which is the best timber panelling for walls?
Timber panelling is the ideal choice for walls in high traffic spaces such as schools and offices, as it is robust and easy to maintain, while also providing a sense of calm and beauty. This is evident in The Clarendon Centre where Maxi Panel and Maxi Perforated Panels in Monterey Pine where used on all the walls to great effect. Timber panelling is the ideal material for feature walls, with the unique look of Maxi Deco a great choice for bringing depth and harmony, as seen in the Southbank Blvd-Mirvac Workplace.
12mm is also an appropriate thickness for wall linings, and all of our products are suited for this application. Our products can be perforated, turned in slats, undulating fin designs, moulded to highlight the interior lines of ply etc…- all designed to bring you the warmth of timber whilst meeting your design aesthetic.
All ply profiles, except Maxi Film can be adjusted to suit a Group 1 Fire Rating also.
Which is the best timber panelling for joinery?
When it comes to creating a standout feature in your design, using timber panels for your joinery is a fantastic idea. There are so many potential ways to incorporate timber panels to deliver contrast or cohesion, while also adding the practical benefits of durability and acoustics as mentioned above. The versatility can be seen in the highly anticipated ACMI redevelopment at Federation Square, where striking Maxi Panel in Black Knight features prominently at the front desk, creating a connection between the zinc cladding outside. This sits alongside the stunning Maxi Veneer in Blackbutt used for the internal stairs, bringing the beauty of the Australian bush indoors via this sturdy hardwood. It is important to note however, that we recommend our Baltic Birch timber for any joinery; due to it’s robust character. We also don’t recommend ply for cupboard doors. In the CLT House project, Maxi Edge Fineline proved a beautiful and sustainable choice for kitchen cabinetry and bedroom shelving, bringing texture and contrast to this amazing home.
Selecting the right timber panelling for your project
It’s clear that timber panelling brings both aesthetics and practical benefits to both home and commercial interiors. With so many style options, the design possibilities are endless – check out our recent projects to be inspired or get in touch with our team on 1300 761 741 to discuss your individual requirements.
