There are many reasons to add a slatted wood wall to your home. It can help solve problems with flow, privacy and sunlight. It is a great way to add character and charm to your home, without sacrificing light or views.
These unique structures make for an interesting, contemporary way to define spaces within a home — and yet they can work well with many decor styles.
Slatted timber screens have grown in popularity over the last few years. Many tropical modern homes today seem to feature them prominently on the exterior façades.
They often protect large, glazed windows and doors or screen an outdoor space.
The spacing and size of the slats are important. These factors can reduce or even eliminate the direct sunlight that impacts your home. Less sunlight enters when the spacing is closer and the slats are deeper.
Whether you install the slats horizontally or vertically will also determine their performance. Horizontal slats are more effective on the north and south-facing walls while east and west-facing openings may benefit more for vertical slats.
