Wood Louvers

What's in the wood louver range

Wood is the largest look in our louvers, at 2,800+ designs. 1,900+ are brown, from light honey to deep walnut-type shades, with grey woods (200+), beige and pale woods, and a small wenge group (55+).

Most are narrow fluted strips (2,000+), then 1 ft planks (400+) and 2 ft sheets (250+). 12 mm is the standard strip thickness (1,000+ designs). Check the length early: 1,000+ designs come in 9 to 10 ft, which saves a joint on a tall wall.

Charcoal is the main core (1,200+), then MDF (300+), PVC (200+) and WPC (100+). Only 7 are listed as solid wood; the rest are wood designs on a composite core. Euro Pratik has the largest wood range (450+), and Pare Panels (150+) and Pebble (100+) each carry a good selection.

Choosing a wood louver

Don't chase an exact match

Matching a louver print to a real teak door or an existing laminate wardrobe almost never comes out exact. It usually looks better to go a clear step lighter or darker than the furniture while keeping the same undertone: red-brown with red-brown, grey-brown with grey-brown.

Vertical or horizontal

Vertical strips make a wall look taller, which suits TV walls and bed backs. Horizontal runs make a narrow wall look wider and suit long corridors. Decide before ordering, because horizontal fixing needs more cutting and more joints.

Indoor, outdoor or wet

For balconies, elevations and compound walls, use designs listed for indoor and outdoor use (350+) or the exterior panels (150+). MDF wood louvers belong in dry indoor rooms only.

Where wood louvers are used

Beyond the usual living room, bedroom and office tags, wood louvers show up on wardrobes (600+ designs tagged) and ceilings (400+). Designs carry several tags, so these overlap. A wood-strip ceiling over a dining table or a balcony gives a warm, finished look, and strips on a wardrobe or sliding door front give a fluted wardrobe without custom routing.

Wood louver FAQs

Are wood louvers real wood?

Almost none are. They carry a wood design on a charcoal, MDF, PVC or WPC core, and they don't need polishing.

Strips or sheets for a TV wall?

Strips, in most cases. The grooves give depth and hide the fact that it is a print. Sheets suit a wood look across a much larger wall.

Can I mix two wood shades?

Yes. Alternating two shades or two profiles is a good way to lift a plain wall. Keep both from the same brand and thickness so the faces sit flush.
