Timber slats are everywhere now: screens, headboards, ceilings, counters, façades. Behind their apparent simplicity — aligned wooden battens — lies real workshop discipline.
Slats filter light and sightlines without walling off. They structure a volume, conceal a door or a service cupboard, and give rhythm to a flat surface. Acoustically, they break reverberation. Visually, they add warmth without weighing things down.
It all comes down to regularity: the spacing of the battens, the squareness, the continuity of the wood grain from one batten to the next. A successful screen reads as a single piece, not as an assembly. That requires precise cutting, wood selected from the same batch, and millimetre-perfect installation.
A poorly fixed slat moves, drifts out of line, gathers dust. We design the hidden framing and invisible fixings so the whole stays crisp over time — and demountable if needed. That's the advantage of a workshop that designs, makes and installs: nothing is left to chance between drawing and wall.
