Wooden panels on wall

ksutcliffe · May 02, 2008 1:49 pm

Hi

Just wanting to know where to get the wooden panels from. Really love the look. PD told us they couldn't do it and we would need to do it ourself. She said it would be pretty easy to do it yourself. Are they as easy as they look? Has anyone applied the same look in their house?

yeh you'd think they would hey! They have these panels on about 5 display homes we went and saw. We knew it was going to be an upgrade but didn't think we would need to do it ourselves! Would prefer it if they could do them even if we have to pay a little bit extra! bummer

Hi Kat,

They're just lining boards, very easy to put up yourself or get a chippy to do them. They can be secret nailed in, or use liquid nails. The boards in your picture look quite wide, and for that reason I'd suspect that they are some kind of composite material (mdf perhaps) or maybe even PVC. (Wide natural timber boards are very hard to get nowadays. Most timber is generally taken from small plantation grown logs and not big, old growth trees)

Here's a link from one of my favourite (cheapest) suppliers, you can see how they machined into what's called "tongue and groove" so that they slot into each other to create the panel appearance :

As you can see the widest cover is 133mm.

Cheers,

Justin.

Here's some that were secret nailed in on another project of ours....it's basically pine lining T&G as Justin said on horizontal battens with a trimming piece. The boards were sourced from the local Mitre10 timber yard.

The pine boards have been limewashed for a more "nautical" effect. Don't look at the interior decoration too much (we had no choice on the sofa bed pattern).....

Bunnings also sell (or at least did some time ago) a limited selection of ready made wall panels.

Correction....it was actually a local Bowens Timber Yard that it was sourced from...not Mitre 10.... :oops:

Kudos goes to DW...I wasn't convinced by the limewash until it was done. Suited the seaside project to a T.

The house I grew up in had that wooden panel effect. My parents couldn't wait to renovate to get rid of it. How things do circles... Bit like brown!

Mission Brown will make a comeback....the limewashed pine board did suit the boatshed that it was used for though.
