Samples and swatches at Vwalla’s showroom

Not to forget the choice of colours: for the wood-look lovers among you, the Wood Series features a range from light tones (think white-oak and cedar) to darker ones like mahogany and dark walnut.

Or, if you’re one for solid/metallic looks, you can take your pick from colours like dark grey for a nature-inspired look, or peach and sky blue for soft pastels.

While fluted panels are typically used on walls (like above), they don’t only have to be used on walls.

Case in point: you could use them on the base of rounded furniture like your kitchen island/peninsula thanks to Vwalla’s materials, which are bendable with heat application.

Fluted panels add character, especially if your kitchen doesn’t have a lot of decorative details.

Vwalla’s fluted panels come with a higher-grade finish too, for a pleasing (and premium) texture. It helps make the wood grains look much more realistic too.

Fluted panels work just as well as a bed headboard, like these panels from the Round Series, since the repeating patterns are relaxing and don’t overwhelm the eyes.

If you’re keen on giving your home a rustic update, the flat and plank-style panels from the Cottage Series are just what you’d need.

All in all, it’s safe to say you’re spoiled for choice.


2. Long-lasting materials that are resistant to wear and tear

Imagine seeing signs of wear and tear shortly after investing in fluted panels for your home upgrade!

You won’t have to worry about that with Vwalla’s fluted panels, which come with a Polypropylene (PP) laminate coating instead of the widely-used Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) laminate.

In other words, they’re more resistant to scratches and wear and tear – and can last you decades. If you have a young child (or pet) with a penchant for mischief, you can also rest assured that the material is food-grade and child-safe.

When it comes to maintenance, all you have to do is to dust the panels down with a feather duster.

A bonus: concave fluted panels are easier to clean since they have fewer grooves.

The fluted panels are waterproof, so if you’re feeling particularly bold, you could even install them in wet areas.


3. ‘No-reno’ installation: easy and fuss-free, as early as the next day

If you don’t have much downtime to spare for your home’s update, here’s great news: the process for installing Vwalla’s fluted panels is hassle-free since you won’t have to wait days for fabrication and installation.

Traditionally, a carpenter has to laminate and install each strip one by one on-site, which takes time and stacks up in labour costs.

Here’s how it works for Vwalla’s fluted panels:

  • The panels can be fabricated in half a day and delivered as early as the next day (depending on stock availability)
  • This ‘no-renovation’ update involves overlaying the fluted panels over existing surfaces
  • Vwalla’s in-house installation services can get the job done within a matter of hours, saving you the trouble of finding carpenters

Thanks to this simplified process, you effectively save up to half the cost compared to traditional carpentry!

Since the fluted panels are so versatile, you can even remove them in the future for a different style of fluted panels that suits your fancy.

Keep in mind, though, that the installation process could take longer if your walls/surfaces are in bad condition. For example, if your wall isn’t completely flat, you’d need a plywood backing before installing the fluted panels.
