RUSTIC TIMBER PANELS
DRIFTWOOD UNIQUE
Weathered Timber Panelling
DRIFTWOOD weathered timber wall panels are a unique product, which is used by many top Australian designers. This rustic timber paneling system has enabled architects and interior specialists to achieve a realistic and chic weathered wood appearance.
Originally custom developed for a hospitality complex, our DRIFTWOOD rustic timber paneling has now become a standard option. DRIFTWOOD is a weathered effect timber slat created by hand etching and coating of a specific grade and species of hardwood timber. This attention to detail means there will be variations between slats and colours, making each rustic wood paneling and slat for walls unique.
It is the interaction between the natural characteristics and features that give it such a stunning rustic wood look. The etching process synthesizes the effect of wood that has been weathered by ocean waves and sand. The result of the rustic wooden panels is impressive – fitting into a boho-chic style or a great contrast to industrial design.
Features of this rustic wall and ceiling timber panels include deep grooves and cracks, pinholes, and knots which will vary in intensity and frequency from slat to slat. These features form part of the natural beauty of the DRIFTWOOD weathered timber panels.

FAQS
What are DRIFTWOOD timber panels made of?
We make our DRIFTWOOD timber panels from select hardwood species that are hand-etched to imitate natural weathering. This process creates deep grooves, knots and cracks that result in a unique rustic aesthetic. The panels also undergo a special coating process to further enhance their weathered look while retaining durability.
Are SUPATILE timber slats easy to access for maintenance purposes?
Yes, SUPATILE SLAT ceiling tiles are designed with 100% accessibility in mind. The wooden slats fit into a traditional T-bar grid and allow easy access to the ceiling cavity. Any required maintenance or system upgrades can be performed without disrupting the new or existing ceiling structure, making it practical and efficient.
Can DRIFTWOOD timber panels be used in outdoor settings?
DRIFTWOOD timber panels are primarily designed for indoor use due to their specific coating and material properties. While they replicate the appearance of weathered wood, they are not engineered to withstand prolonged outdoor exposure or extreme weather conditions.
Are DRIFTWOOD panels customisable in terms of finish and colour?
Yes, our decorative timber wall panels offer customisation in finish and colour. Choose from natural, stained or solid colours to match your interior design. Custom slat configurations are also available, including options in both acoustic and non-acoustic versions.
How do DRIFTWOOD panels contribute to interior design?
Our timber panels add a unique rustic charm to interiors with their weathered, aged wood appearance. Their natural characteristics, like cracks and knots, create texture and depth, fitting perfectly in designs ranging from coastal-chic to industrial. DRIFTWOOD timber panels can serve as a statement feature, blending seamlessly into both modern and traditional spaces.
Do DRIFTWOOD timber panels require special maintenance?
DRIFTWOOD timber panels require minimal maintenance. To preserve their weathered look, regular dusting and occasional cleaning with a soft damp cloth are sufficient. Harsh chemicals or abrasive materials should be avoided to prevent damage to the hand-etched surfaces and protective coating.
