Wall Panelling & Wainscoting
Panel grids drawn around your architecture, milled in our workshop and scribed to your walls.
Overview
Our signature service. From Georgian twin-frame compositions to clean shaker grids, we design the panel set-out around your architecture — doors, windows and datum lines — then mill, prime and install every component with workshop precision. Painted, stained or veneered finishes.
Good panelling starts with a measured elevation. We set the panel rhythm from the room’s openings and sightlines, then agree moulding scale, finish and junction details before anything is cut. That is what keeps the grid symmetrical around a window or a light switch instead of colliding with it.

Questions about wall panelling & wainscoting
Can wall panelling be added to an existing, finished room?
Yes. Most of our panelling goes into rooms that are already plastered and painted. We survey the walls, plan the grid around existing sockets, switches and openings, and fix the panels with minimal disruption before the final paint finish.
Which is better for Nairobi homes — MDF or solid timber panelling?
For painted panelling, moisture-resistant MDF gives crisp, stable profiles that do not move with the seasons. Solid timber or veneer suits stained or natural finishes. We recommend a material once we know the room, the finish and how the space is used.
How long does a panelled room take to install?
It depends on the size of the room and the profile. Most components are made and primed in our workshop first, so time on site is short. We confirm a programme after the measured survey.
