To meet the growing demand for new and innovative 3D wall coverings, Ekena Millwork announced the future rollout of a new collection of laser-cut wood veneer and MDF fretwork wall panels. Clarksville, TX – The new fretwork wall panels offer a high-end, luxurious architectural feature that offers affordability and easy install for any level of installer. The official launch date is expected to be October 2020.
The wood fretwork panels will round out Ekena’s robust collection of wall décor products, a new market segment for the manufacturer. A comparable architectural PVC line of fretwork was released in October of 2019 and has already done exceedingly well with designers and homeowners alike. “With so many requests and inquiries about our fretwork line, we wanted to offer consumers more choices, so we developed a stain-grade wood line that offers a paint-grade MDF option and stainable wood grains,” says Ekena Market Analyst Daniel Milkie.
Never has it been so easy for any DIY’er to create such an intricate architectural feature without the hassle of expensive carpentry skills and materials. Fretwork panels offer a unique aesthetic unrivaled in the wall covering industry. Ekena’s wood fretwork panels are a modern take on traditional wood paneling. “We wanted to take something timeless, that has played a role in interior design for decades and make it new and exciting,” said Milkie. Wood veneer is an affordable, reliable, and timeless architectural and interior design option now available in intricate geometric, whimsical, and organic form.
The fretwork comes in four sizes: 8”, 12”, 16” and 24” with each size available in 5 different thicknesses in more than 60 unique designs and patterns. Available in 6 stain-grade wood species; oak, cherry, alder, mahogany, hickory, and birch, plus a paint-grade MDF, allowing for more design options and durable usage. Ekena’s wood fretwork offers a textured alternative to wallpaper and other traditional wall coverings, while the natural wood tones evoke luxury and sophistication like nothing else.
“Ekena’s partnerships with lumberyards, online dealers and cabinetry and furniture makers allows professional designers, builders, and architects to stand out amongst their peers with specialty or custom details that make a difference to the homeowner,” stated Scott Bos, Business Development Director for Ekena. “We pride ourselves in making standard products that ship fast and custom orders that you can’t find anywhere else easily accessible to our vendors,” says Bos.
