Flat Wall Panel — Ivory Ripple

Ivory Ripple is the one finish in our flat range you can feel as well as see — an off-white panel with a genuinely embossed rippled grain running vertically across the surface, like the figure in a piece of quarter-sawn timber lifted into relief.

Texture without a profile

Our Venetian panels create texture through shape — a flute, a curve, a V. Ivory Ripple creates it through surface relief instead: hundreds of fine ridges, only a fraction of a millimetre deep, that catch raking light and throw a soft rippled shadow across the wall. From across a room it reads as a pale, quietly textured plane. Up close it has real depth and is genuinely nice to touch. It is the closest thing we make to a plaster or Venetian stucco finish without any of the wet trades.

The neutral that isn't boring

Off-white is the safest colour decision anyone makes and usually the dullest. The ripple is what rescues it — you get a wall that works with absolutely any scheme, that never dates, and that still has something going on. It changes noticeably through the day as the light angle moves, which a painted wall simply does not do.

Where Ivory Ripple works best

Anywhere you want texture rather than colour. It is superb as a headboard wall, behind a bath, as a hallway lining, and as a full-height treatment in a room with strong architectural lighting — a wall washer or an uplight along the skirting will make the ripple sing. It is 100% waterproof, so bathrooms and wet rooms are fine. In commercial work it is the finish to specify for reception desks, hotel lobbies, showroom walls and anywhere a plain white wall would feel like a missed opportunity.

Installation

Panels bond directly to a flat, dry substrate with high-grab construction adhesive (CT1 or similar). No battens required. Cut with a fine-tooth blade or a sharp knife and straight edge. The ripple runs vertically and is directional — keep every panel the same way up, and dry-lay the wall first so the grain lines up across joins.
