Laths have ceased to be just an idea for filling a previously undeveloped space. Depending on the needs of the investor and the vision of the designer, they can play many functional and decorative roles, harmonizing with other elements of the arrangement. Standard floor-to-ceiling wall build-ups, although still the most popular, are gradually giving way to the use of lamellas also as: ceiling finishes, furniture and as room zone separators.
Installing lamellas in almost every conceivable type of home and business interior, we have prepared a proven set of solutions that allow the realization of even the most ambitious projects. Appropriate selection of features: type, color, number, size of lamellas measurably affects the visual and functional effect, so the offer we have prepared allows their use in any home and business room regardless of its purpose and dimensions.

Wall and ceiling panels
The offer of market lamellas is usually limited to a few popular panels, which often significantly differ from the colors used in the design of doors, windows, floors and furniture. Hence, the undoubted advantage of outsourcing the decoration to a furniture manufacturer is to obtain a composition that matches both style and color. Covering the wall and ceiling with Lite and Slim series lamellas guarantees the desired effect of spaciousness while improving the acoustics of the built-up space. A wide pattern of decors allows perfect color matching and freedom of composition, for example, wood decors with expressive grain with concrete, brick or smooth surfaces, or matching mono-colored laths to doors, windows, walls or floors.

Masking decorations
A common motivation for covering a wall or ceiling with lamellas is the imperfections of the surface to be covered. The solutions we have prepared, both based on flexible construction (Lite, Slim lamellas) and rigid construction (Premium, Exclusive series of lamellas), allow you to adjust the way of finishing to the degree of curvature of the wall and ceiling to avoid performing additional construction and preparation work.

Depth effect
When designing a wall and ceiling installation, it is worth choosing not only the right type of backing, but also the optimal spacing of laths to achieve a spatial effect. Collections with a compact, dense structure will work better in areas most often seen en face, such as the "bed" walls of a bedroom, or living room walls with a TV.
On the other hand, for structures viewed more often at an angle or in profile - such as corridors, lobbies, stairwells - it is worth choosing series with a slightly wider distribution of lamellas. In addition, an increasingly popular way of composing slatted walls is to reverse the proportions and juxtapose the slats like paneling, parallel to the wall with only delicate joints left between them.

Finishing the furniture
In addition to the structural elements of the room, lamellar decorations are excellent for finishing furniture fronts, crowning kitchen annexes, cabinets, closets. Skillful use of a lamellar element in a piece of furniture emphasizes its spatiality, refers to other lamellar decorations of the interior, and often provides an effective bond between the furnished area and, for example, the wall of the corridor.
Lamellar walls and dividers
The absolute number 1 lamellar decoration last year became lamellar partitions using the Azure collection. Laminate boards of increased thickness are an excellent building material for partition walls, with which we can easily separate zones of rooms, shade too sunny places and soundproof large areas in particular.
Particularly important function of separating large rooms is very popular due to the relatively low cost, excellent visual effect and the ability to quickly create a new partition wall (without masonry and construction work).

Bespoke, made to measure, ready-made
The above examples of the use of lamellar decoration are only the most popular and one of many that we are increasingly making an integral part of home and business interiors. As a furniture manufacturer, when creating a lamellar decoration, we also pay attention to its other side, i.e. installation. The structures we prepare only require connecting to the substrate (wall, ceiling, furniture) the modules we have already assembled. When creating the design of a lath development, we take into account not only its global dimension, but also every possible connection and finishing elements.
Why and for whom lamellas?
The versatility and universality of the use of lamellas means that their popularity will not go away, but their form will continue to evolve, mainly thanks to designers, for whom this seemingly simple material is an exceptionally malleable building material, allowing them to fill home and business interiors in new ways time and again.
Decorative and acoustic properties are a satisfying argument of choice for anyone who expects their interior to take on a new color and a spacious, modern character.
