Interlam Decorative Wall Panels

Art Diffusion panels

Art Diffusion panels by Interlam are homogeneously coloured or plain MDF panels whose surfaces have been carved or sculpted into dramatic organic forms with CNC routers.

The patterns can be carved so precisely (to within one-twentieth of a millimeter) that panels can be mounted edge-to-edge in perfect alignment for a monolithic appearance.

Art Diffusion panels are created with a variety of finishes from raw (coloured or plain) MDF, membrane pressed foils (including highly realistic wood grain patterns and glossy colours) to latex paint, to lacquers, oxidised finishes, and metallic finishes. Interlam has also discovered a process for bonding metal particles to the panels and more recently coloured sand.

New patterns are constantly being added, including the new ‘Elements’ range and even more recently Interlam’s new ‘Mirage’ series.

Fantastic as feature walls or to create texture and depth to reception desk frontages and furniture within hotels, corporate headquarters, bars, restaurants and retail applications, this stunning product is best experienced firsthand. Drop into our showroom to view full panels and to see a wide range of samples featuring many of the designs and finishes available.

PATTERNS

Pattern depth

The pattern depth refers to the deepest cut that is made in the raw stock in order to produce the pattern. This will dictate (amongst other things) the panel thickness required. Some designs can reach depths of up to 30 mm.

Pattern direction

Most patterns can be produced in either a vertical or horizontal application. A pattern is said to be vertical if the tool marks generally run along the length of the panel, and are said to be horizontal where the tool marks run across the width of the panel. This may not always be obvious – see Interlam’s web site to determine your preferred orientation for a given pattern. Note that the vertical and horizontal designations have nothing to do with the installed orientation.

Pattern Repeat Type

Most patterns can be manufactured so that the pattern continues smoothly from panel to panel in all directions creating a monolithic appearance when installed. Depending on the pattern and customer requirements, this continuity can be achieved in a variety of ways. Pattern ‘repeat types’ include the following: continuous flow pattern, repeating pattern, single panel pattern, fixed set pattern and A-B repeat type patterns.
