Commercial Slat Wall Panels
Commercial slat wall panels are modern architectural features designed to add depth and texture to commercial interiors. Made from evenly spaced vertical or horizontal wood slats, these panels are commonly used in offices, retail stores, restaurants, and lobbies to elevate visual appeal while offering subtle space division and acoustic improvement. Their clean and linear design brings a natural warmth that complements a wide range of interior styles.
We fabricate commercial wood slat panels in-house, starting with high-quality hardwood that is precisely cut to size, then finished according to the specific layout and dimensions of each project. The slats are fixed onto a support system with consistent spacing and alignment, ensuring each panel is built with accuracy and visual balance. Every slat is sanded smooth and finished with your choice of natural clear coat, stain, or paint to suit the design intent.
Residential Wood Slat Panels
Residential wood slat panels bring a sense of warmth and intimacy to home interiors, offering a refined alternative to standard painted or drywall finishes. They are often used to highlight fireplaces, headboards, media walls, or entryways, turning plain surfaces into architectural features. Beyond aesthetics, they help define zones within open-concept layouts without fully enclosing the space.
Our team works closely with homeowners, designers, and contractors to ensure each panel fits seamlessly into the existing layout. We offer flexible sizing, curved applications, and the option to integrate lighting or hidden doors for added function. The slats can also be arranged in custom patterns to suit more personalized or artistic interiors.
These panels are especially effective in adding depth to smaller rooms or drawing attention to specific areas of the home. Their versatility makes them ideal for renovations where design impact is needed without major structural changes.

What are your standard sizes and wood species for custom wood slat panels?
At 1BENMU, we offer a range of standard slat sizes and wood species to suit most commercial and residential design needs. Our most common slat dimensions include:
- 1¼” x 3″
- ¾” x 1½”
- ¾” x ¾”
These sizes strike a balance between bold visual impact and subtle design detailing, giving you flexibility depending on whether you want a statement wall or a minimal finish. For material selection, we work with high-quality hardwoods, available in the following standard species:
- Walnut – Rich and dark with a warm, luxurious tone
- White Oak – Clean and light, ideal for modern or Scandinavian-inspired interiors
- Red Oak – Warm, with visible grain character and a natural reddish hue
- Roasted Ash – Deep brown with dramatic grain, great for bold, high-contrast designs
All slats are fabricated in-house and finished according to your design intent, whether you prefer clear coat, custom stain, or painted options. If you’re looking for something beyond these options, we can also accommodate custom sizing and species upon request.
Are your slat panels made from solid wood or veneer?
At 1BENMU, we proudly fabricate every slat using solid hardwood, and we’re one of the few millwork shops in the Greater Toronto Area that specialize in true solid wood construction.
Many companies rely on veneered MDF or plywood cores to cut material costs and speed up production and while these options may look similar at first glance, they fall short in durability, appearance, and overall quality.
In contrast, our solid wood slat wall panels are built to last. Each slat is milled from a single piece of hardwood, allowing the grain to run through the full depth of the material. This results in not only visual authenticity but also long-term structural integrity. Solid wood offers:
- Greater durability – Withstands wear, impact, and repeated cleaning
- Restorability – Can be sanded and refinished over time
- Natural aging – Develops a rich patina rather than degrading
- Customization – Can be carved, curved, or profiled to match unique designs
When you work with 1BENMU, you’re not just buying panels — you’re partnering with a team that specializes in solid wood millwork. We handle real hardwood every day and understand how to select, machine, and install it to ensure it performs beautifully for years to come.
Can you design commercial custom slat panels?
Yes, we design commercial custom slat panels. These panels are made to order, using premium hardwood, and built to match the exact layout, finish, and spacing required for your space. Designed with durability and clean aesthetics in mind, our slat panels enhance both functionality and visual appeal in high-traffic commercial interiors. We manage everything from design to fabrication and installation.
