A Guide to Hixwood's Panel Profiles: Options to Transform Your Space

If it’s time to elevate the character and style of your home or commercial space, the right panel profile can be a game-changer. We take pride in offering a diverse range of panel profiles designed to suit personal tastes and practical needs. Whether you're aiming to add warmth, texture, or a refined touch, our panel profiles provide beautiful and versatile solutions.

One standard option is our board-and-batten design, but that's just one preference of many. This guide will take you through some of the panel profiles we offer and how they can transform the look and feel of your space.

Why Panel Profiles Matter

Before we get too into the weeds, let's consider why panel profiles are such a winning design element. Paneling introduces a polished finish, while enhancing durability and providing an insulation factor. Perhaps most importantly, it allows you to bring your creative vision to life. By choosing a Hixwood panel profile, you're investing in high-quality craftsmanship and classic style that stands the test of time.

Popular Panel Profiles

1. Board-and-Batten

Board-and-batten is a classic panel profile that brings charm and texture to walls. Here’s why it’s a favorite:

• Timeless Aesthetic: The alternating wide boards and narrow battens create a striking vertical pattern that works well in both modern and rustic spaces.

• Versatile Application: Its use cases include interior accent walls, exteriors, and even ceilings.

• Customizable: Choose from a variety of finishes and wood types that fit your vision for the project.

This profile is ideal for those looking to marry elegance with a touch of tradition.

2. Shiplap Panels

For those inspired by the cottage-core look, shiplap fits the bill. Defined by horizontal lines and slightly overlapping boards, shiplap panels deliver big on the following:

• Rustic Appeal: Maximize a farmhouse vibe or coastal aesthetic.

• Durability: This material can withstand even the most humid conditions, making it suitable for kitchens or bathrooms.

• Ease of Installation: Shiplap is associated with a fairly simple installation process.

3. V-Groove Panels

V-groove panels are all about sleek sophistication. These feature a subtle recessed line between the panels, creating:

• Minimalist Elegance: The clean lines of V-groove panels will bring visual interest to modern interiors.

• Depth and Definition: This panel style draws in the eye without overwhelming a space.

• Adaptability: They make great additions to walls, ceilings, and furniture accents.

4. Reeded or Fluted Panels

Reeded and fluted panel profiles pack a mean punch in that they create texture and a high-end feel. These profiles are ideal for:

• Luxurious Spaces: Your room will look like a magazine spread and be the envy of your neighbors.

• Statement Features: Many homeowners love this effect on headboards, feature walls, or cabinetry.

• Acoustic Benefits: The ribbed surface can help with absorbing sound.

5. Custom Panels

We understand that no two projects are the same. That's why we offer custom panel profiles, so you can get the exact look you have in mind. From ornate designs to something less flashy, we’ll work with you to craft the perfect solution.
