Wall Panel 01WF Metallic Brown: coverage, slats and fitting
This guide is about
Wall Panel 01WF - Metallic Brown - Acoustic - 240cm - (1 pack / 4pcs)
Metallic brown is the quieter member of the metallic group: warm enough to sit with timber floors, without the brightness of gold. Wall Panel 01WF - Metallic Brown - Acoustic comes four panels to a pack at 60 x 240 x 1.5cm each, listed as covering 5.76m². The slat geometry is shared with the rest of the 01 range, so the planning below applies whichever finish you settle on.
The figures, exactly as listed
| Listed as | Figure |
|---|---|
| Panel size | 60 x 240 x 1.5cm per panel |
| Pieces per pack | 4 |
| Area covered | 5.76m² per pack |
| Slat width | 2.5cm |
| Space between slats | 1.5cm |
| Construction | HDF slats on a felt backing |
| Trim named | Wall Panel PVC Trim Acoustic |
| Code | AWS-WP017 |
Panel size reads as width, height and thickness, the 240cm matching the height in the name. Dimension order is not consistent across the catalogue, so confirm it before cutting.
Quote the code AWS-WP017 when you enquire. The panel codes in this range run close together and more than one finish is a brown, so the code removes the doubt.
How many packs a wall takes
Four panels at 60cm give 2.4m of wall width at the full 240cm height. Round up: the last panel in a run is nearly always cut to width.
| Wall width | Panels at 60cm | Packs |
|---|---|---|
| 1.8m | 3 | 1 |
| 2.4m | 4 | 1 |
| 3.0m | 5 | 2 |
| 3.6m | 6 | 2 |
| 4.2m | 7 | 2 |
The 2.5cm slat and 1.5cm gap repeat every 4cm, which gives 15 slats across a 60cm panel. That is worked out from the two listed figures rather than quoted by the listing, so confirm it if a slat has to land on a centre line.
Metallic brown with wood and with gold
A brown panel is usually chosen to pick up a floor or a door that already sets the tone of the room. Be careful there: a metallic brown panel and an oiled oak floor are both warm, but they are not the same brown, and a near miss looks worse than a clear contrast. Hold a panel against the floor in daylight before you buy the wall.
If the room wants a timber tone rather than a metallic one, Wall Panel 01T - Walnut - Acoustic is the walnut finish in the same format, on the same slat and gap figures. Walnut there is a finish name on the same HDF slats, not solid timber, so judge it from a panel rather than from the word. Wall Panel 010C - Antique Metallic Brown - Acoustic is a different treatment of the same idea and worth seeing beside it, and Wall Panel 01WG - Metallic Gold - Acoustic is the brighter metallic if the brown turns out flatter than you pictured.
What the listing does not state
- No sound absorption figure. The felt backing is described as absorbing sound, with no coefficient or rating given, so ask before you rely on it to meet a target.
- How the metallic finish is applied, and therefore how it cleans and how a cut edge looks.
- The felt colour between the slats, which sets how dark the wall reads overall.
- No fire classification.
- No fixing method, so the stand-off at skirting and architrave is your decision.
