Advantages of Solid Wood Wall Panels

Solid wood wall panels are regaining popularity, and for good reason. They add depth and character to a room that no other material can offer.

  • Durability and strength – solid wood lasts for generations and withstands everyday use well
  • Environmental friendliness – wood is a renewable resource with a smaller ecological footprint
  • Easy maintenance – wooden surfaces are simple to care for with special cleaning products
  • Unique appearance – each wood panel is unique thanks to the natural pattern of the wood
  • Renewability – even if the surface becomes damaged over time, it can be sanded and refinished

Comparison of Birch and Oak Wall Panels

Our product range includes two main wood types: birch and oak. Both offer exceptional properties, but one may be more suitable than the other for different spaces.

Birch wood:

  • Lighter tone that makes the room visually more spacious and brighter
  • More affordable prices compared to oak, making it more accessible
  • Lighter and slightly softer, but still extremely durable for home use

Oak wood:

  • Strong and heavy material that withstands intensive use
  • Rich texture that gives the room a more luxurious and deeper appearance
  • Higher natural moisture resistance, suitable for areas near bathrooms or kitchens

Dimensions and Thicknesses of Solid Wood Wall Panels

Riverbank OÜ offers flexible solutions according to your needs. We can produce panels with the following maximum dimensions:

  • Length: up to 4000 mm
  • Width: up to 1300 mm
  • Thickness: between 15-50 mm

Our standard acoustic wall panels are available in various dimensions, such as 2400×400 mm (covers 0.96 m²) or 2400×600 mm (covers 1.44 m²).

Moisture-Resistant Options

When planning to install panels in rooms with higher moisture levels, it’s important to choose the right material and finish. According to European standards, wood panels are classified into three usage classes:

  1. Dry conditions (EN 636-1)
  2. Humid conditions (EN 636-2)
  3. Outdoor conditions (EN 636-3)

Our oak wall panels offer natural moisture resistance, which can be enhanced with special finishing. This ensures that the panels maintain their quality even in rooms with higher moisture levels.

Acoustic Properties and Thicknesses

The thickness of wall panels significantly affects their acoustic properties and the overall impression of the room. We offer different slat thicknesses:

  • 18 mm slat panels – thinner and more elegant, well-suited for smaller spaces
  • 35-40 mm slat panels – better sound absorption and thermal insulation, creating a more powerful visual effect

Our acoustic wall panels are made of felt and natural solid wood, which helps diffuse and absorb sound waves, reducing echo. This is particularly useful in living rooms where movies are watched or music is played, and in children’s rooms where good acoustics help create a calmer learning environment.

Finishing Options

Finishing significantly affects the appearance of wooden panels and their compatibility with the overall style of the room. We offer various finishing options:

  • Natural – emphasizes the natural beauty and warmth of the wood
  • Brown – adds depth and warmth, suitable for more classical interiors
  • Dark brown – creates a more dramatic look, suitable for contemporary interiors
  • Lacquered – provides additional protection and a slightly glossy surface

All our finishing materials have a low VOC content, ensuring they are safe for both your family and the environment.

Prices of Solid Wood Wall Panels

Prices depend on panel dimensions, thickness, wood type, and finish:

  • Birch wall panels start from €179.00
  • Oak wall panels start from €209.00

We offer better prices for larger quantity orders. Contact us for an exact quote.

Installation Accessories and Instructions

Quality installation ensures that your panels look good and function for decades. We offer necessary installation accessories:

  • Fastening elements for different wall types
  • Special adhesives and sealants
  • Corner finishing elements

When installing, it’s important to consider the natural expansion and contraction of wood according to the room’s moisture level. Proper installation and acclimation before installation minimize future problems.
