Grooved & fluted veneer

Grooved Veneer Panels: Depth, Rhythm and Shadow

Let light draw the lines.

Grooved veneer panels combine wood-veneer warmth with linear detail, creating a pattern of light and shadow that a flat surface cannot produce. The SpaceOne Grooved | Wood Veneer collection offers 51 finishes for residential and commercial feature walls, panelling and statement surfaces.

Where to use grooved veneer

Grooves add most impact where people can see the surface from a distance and where light falls across it.

  • Living room and TV feature walls
  • Bedroom headboard walls
  • Reception counters and office lobbies
  • Restaurant, retail and hotel feature panels
  • Wardrobe and storage fronts, where the design allows it

Grooved or fluted: what is the difference?

The terms often overlap in everyday use. Grooved usually describes channels cut into a surface, while fluted often describes a more rounded, repeating profile. Check the actual profile, spacing and depth on a sample instead of relying on the name.

Planning tips for a clean result

Line up grooves with doors, shelves, skirting and ceiling details before production starts. Plan corners and panel joints on a drawing, because a small misalignment is easy to see in a repeating pattern.

Wall washers and side lighting bring out the shadow lines. Regular dusting with a soft brush keeps the channels clean.
