Wall Panel 36F Grey Oak: the 3.5cm slat repeat explained

The Wall Panel 36F in grey oak is one of the few slat panels on the site that publishes both slat figures: a 2.5cm slat with a 1cm space beside it. Those two numbers are what let you plan a wall on paper instead of hoping it lands well.

The 3.5cm repeat, and where it lands

A 2.5cm slat plus a 1cm gap repeats every 3.5cm. Across a 60cm panel that comes out at roughly seventeen repeats, but the listing does not say how many slats a panel carries or how its two edges are finished, so treat that as arithmetic and not as a specification. The practical point is the cut at the end of a run. Rip a panel through the middle of a slat and the wall finishes on a half-width stick that the eye goes straight to. Rip it through a gap and the wall finishes on a shadow line that reads as deliberate. Dry-lay the last panel, mark the cut on a gap, then cut.

Rounded slats and the shadow they throw

The description calls the slats rounded. A rounded edge grades its shadow where a square edge breaks it, so the same wall looks softer under a downlight and less like a set of stripes. No profile radius is given, so if you are trying to match slats already on a wall somewhere, compare the photographs rather than the wording.

How many packs the wall takes

Divide the wall width by 60 for the panel count, then by four for packs, rounding up at both steps. The 60cm module is a friendly one: a 1.8m chimney breast is exactly three panels, a 2.4m alcove is exactly one pack, and a 3.6m wall is six panels, which is two packs with a pair spare for the cuts.

Grey oak: what a listing cannot tell you

Grey oak covers a wide spread, from a silvered grey-brown through to a flat cool grey, and this listing names the finish without describing it. The acoustic wording has the same shape: slats on a felt backing that absorb sound and reduce noise, with no coefficient and no test standard behind the claim. So ask for a daylight photograph if the panel has to sit beside a grey floor you already have, and ask what supplier test data exists if the room genuinely has to perform rather than just look treated.

Fitting it, and the panels beside it

The wall panel adhesive is sold by the box and is the usual fixing for panels like this. No panel weight is published, so if the background is anything other than sound plaster or board, confirm the fixing with the shop first. Strips for the external corners and the ceiling line are in panel trims and fittings, where each trim is listed against the panel numbers it suits. Within the same build, 36WT in walnut is the dark end of the group. If the fine rhythm is not what you want, Wall Panel 37F in grey oak is the same colour with a 4cm slat and more depth at 2.2cm, and the full comparison sits in slat and acoustic panels.
