Timber is known for adding warmth, texture and a natural touch to interior environments, but rising material costs and construction constraints can place timber veneer out of reach for many projects. Elton Group has come up with a solution in Eveneer WoodWall.

Timber has long been revered in architecture and interior design for creating spaces that feel grounded, elegant and inviting.

While the appeal of timber is timeless, the practical and environmental challenges have made its large-scale use more complex. Elton Group’s Eveneer WoodWall is a revolutionary timber veneer that offers the beauty and authenticity of real timber in a product that is efficient and easy to deliver and apply.

A true timber surface

Eveneer WoodWall is a real, prefinished, timber veneer surface designed to be applied like wallpaper, eliminating the need for traditional timber panelling infrastructure. Available in both recut and natural species, it offers an authentic timber finish while significantly reducing material use.

By precision slicing logs using a patented technique, WoodWall increases the veneer yield by 300 percent when compared with conventional veneer slicing. This makes it one of the most responsible ways to specify timber in interiors.

Delivered to site in rolled sheets of up to four metres in length, Eveneer WoodWall is prefinished and can be applied directly to a prepared plaster wall by a qualified wallpaper installer – no excessive framing, no joinery and no polishing.

The 930-milimetre-wide sheets are double-cut on site, ensuring seamless grain continuity without visible joins. The sequence-matching and numbering then ensure a consistent pattern across the finished surface.

For designers looking to create large-scale timber walls and ceilings without shadow lines or mechanical fixings, Eveneer WoodWall provides a perfect solution.

Time efficiency and flexibility

As time pressures in construction continue to increase, the ability to deliver a high-end finish without multiple trades is more valuable than ever. Eveneer WoodWall can be installed by a single trade, significantly reducing labour costs and project timelines.

It is a time- and cost-effective way to achieve continuous timber walls and ceilings, offering all the visual and tactile benefits of traditional timber panelling without the build complexity.

Delivered in easy-to-carry boxes, access to site is also simple, with no need for manoeuvring heavy panels and no difficulties with lift access.

The product’s flexibility also makes it ideal for curved surfaces, allowing designers to achieve flowing timber bulkheads, seamless feature walls and sculptural ceilings that would be difficult or costly to execute with conventional timber panels.

Eddie Poate, a project lead at Made For and member of Australian Design Review’s 30UNDER30 program this year, called WoodWall an “easy choice” for the curved bulkhead at LSR’s South Melbourne HQ.

“It allowed us to create a seamless, integrated look, especially in those curved details, while keeping the process efficient,” he says.

A commercial leader

Eveneer WoodWall has been embraced by some of Australia’s most respected design studios, such as Hassell, Bates Smart, Rezen, and Studio Tate, for projects where quality, efficiency and sustainability are key.

A standout example is CBA Darling Quarter by Hassell. In this premium workplace environment, Eveneer in rotary cut maple WoodWall covers everything from curved walls to doors and bulkheads wrapping the large void above the dramatic communal foyer.

Responding to tomorrow’s demands

With a Group 1 fire rating, Eveneer WoodWall meets the highest safety standards for commercial applications, making it ideal for workplaces, hospitality venues and public spaces.

As sustainability, efficiency and design flexibility become even more critical, WoodWall offers a forward-thinking solution that respects the beauty of natural timber while maximising its potential. It is an effective use of our natural resources. For designers and architects looking to create high-impact spaces with a minimal environmental footprint, WoodWall offers a smarter way to work with timber.
