Fluted panel manufacturer in Delhi

The default, and the right answer for a TV unit, a headboard wall, a corridor or a reception backdrop that stays dry.

We cut into 18mm or 25mm MDF and leave a solid back, so the panel arrives as one rigid piece rather than slats glued to a board. That matters at the ends: a solid-back fluted panel can be trimmed on site without anything coming loose, and it can be screwed through the trough of a flute where the fixing disappears. Pitch typically runs 25mm to 60mm centre to centre, with the groove taken 6mm to 12mm deep. Below about a 20mm pitch in 18mm board the webs get thin enough to chip when they are handled, so we will push back on a drawing that asks for it.

MDF takes primer and PU better than any other board we cut, which is the real reason it dominates interior fluting — a painted flute lives or dies on how sharp the shoulder of the groove stays under three coats. Where the panel is being veneered instead, we cut the flute after the veneer is laid so the finish wraps the profile rather than stopping at it.

WPC fluted louvers for wet and exterior areas

Waterproof WPC is what goes on a balcony, a facade, a bathroom wall, a planter face or anywhere a monsoon reaches.

It is a different material to work: softer under the cutter, so the edge is never as crisp as MDF, but it also never chips, and it does not care about standing water. We hold the pitch a little coarser — around 30mm and up — because a fine web in WPC will flex. Fluted WPC louvers are usually specified as a rain screen over a batten frame with an air gap behind, and we cut the panel and the fixing slots to the same file so the site team is not drilling into a finished face.

WPC takes laminate, lacquer and foil directly. Paint needs the correct key coat first — this is the single most common site failure we see with WPC, and it is why we ask what the finish is before quoting rather than after. If the panel is going outdoors and someone has specified MDF, we will not quote it. It will swell, and no primer prevents that.

Tambour panels that follow a curve

Tambour is the one that is genuinely different: individual slats bonded to a flexible backing so the panel bends.

It is what you want on a curved reception desk, a column, a bar front or a rounded bulkhead — anywhere a rigid fluted board would have to be faceted into segments and would show every joint. We cut the slats on the router, machine the back relief that lets them roll, and bond them to fabric or a flexible ply backing. The tightest radius depends on slat width: a 20mm slat will take a much tighter curve than a 45mm one, and we will tell you the minimum radius for your profile before you commit to it.

Tambour on a flat wall is also a legitimate choice — it reads slightly softer than a cut-in flute because each slat is a separate piece with a real shadow line between. The trade-off is that a tambour panel cannot be trimmed at the end of a run without exposing the backing, so setting out has to happen at drawing stage.
