Plywood Panels

Featurecraft’s decorative Plywood Timber Panels are a classic and elegant way to transform interior spaces. This simple multipurpose product can be used to create plywood ceilings or plywood feature walls, turning any area of a building into a visually refined showpiece.

Interior plywood timber panelling has been popular in New Zealand since the 18th century, but recent advancements in technology have radically changed the way we approach this design. As well as being decorative, plywood timber panels are highly functional and can shape the way an environment is used. For instance, Featurecraft’s Plywood Timber Panels can be perforated and fitted with felt backing for acoustic enhancement.

Acoustic panels come in a wide range of designs – we offer grooved plywood panelling, slotted plywood panels, holes in various configurations, and specialised geometric patterns. This is product evolution in action: the simple plywood panel has taken on many new aspects of functionality.
