A Peak Inside The UK's Leading SlatWall Manufacturer
Walls set the tone for every space - whether it’s a cosy living room or a vibrant office. At Naturewall, we believe every room deserves more than mere paint or wallpaper which is why, since 2018, we’ve been crafting nature-inspired wall panels in Yorkshire, helping our customers to enrich their homes and work spaces with warmth, depth, and character. In this blog, we’ll share the philosophy that drives us, why being a UK manufacturer matters, and how innovation shapes everything we do.
Why Made in Britain matters
We’re proud to be based in Yorkshire and part of Made in Britain, an organisation that celebrates the best of UK manufacturing. Today, more and more consumers are looking for products that combine quality and durability - and they’re turning to British manufacturers for the solution.
In fact, the Barclays Consumer Spend Report found that 71 per cent of people want to support UK businesses by buying more products made in Britain. That’s a powerful shift compared with recent years. But why do people feel so strongly about it?
The reasons are many, but some of the biggest drivers include time-tested craftsmanship, a genuine commitment to quality, supporting local jobs and communities, and the practical benefits including faster delivery and a smaller environmental footprint. These sentiments are at the very foundations of Naturewall, guiding every decision we make.
Inside our Yorkshire factory
Nestled in picturesque Beverley in East Yorkshire, our state-of-the-art factory is the beating heart of our company. From here, our team of talented craftspeople use a combination of modern machinery and time-proven techniques to make the products our customers use to transform their spaces.
Beyond a hub of expert team members and quality materials, our factory is also home to cutting edge capabilities and technologies that help us maintain the standards our customers have come to expect. These include:
The bonding line
A key component of what makes our SlatWall products stand out is our bonding line. This clever process secures the back of each slat to recycled felt using a very strong adhesive. This is how our panels achieve their outstanding durability which means you can cut the panels at any angle to perfectly integrate into your space. As a result, because our panels are stronger and more stable than others on the market, we can deliver even greater quality and value.
Our CNC machine
Our paintable MDF panelling is brought to life thanks to our team’s experience using CNC machinery. This advanced production method gives us the flexibility to create panels in a wide range of shapes and sizes, so you can decorate your walls in the best way to maximise your home’s unique appeal.
The beam saw
The Naturewall factory is home to the UK’s second-largest beam saw - a real powerhouse in our panelling production. By cutting panels in-house, our team can closely monitor quality, making sure every item meets our high standards. The saw also helps us keep up with growing demand, ensuring we deliver premium wall panels on time, every time.
The best SlatWall panels on the market
Thanks to our commitment to quality, investment in cutting-edge technology, and proven bonded panel construction we’re proud to offer the best-performing SlatWall panels in Britain.
Our range is unlike anything else on the market, with colours ranging from warm organic oaks and rich walnuts to sleek, on-trend blacks - all in a variety of slat sizes. We even offer pre-primed panels, ready to be painted in your perfect shade.
What’s more, we’re always pushing boundaries. Recently, we partnered with industry leader Rubio Monocoat to create our Enriched Oiled Collection, a stunning range of oiled wall panels. It’s our latest step in expanding our selection, giving you even more ways to add your own unique style to your walls.
The Enriched Oiled Collection features real wood veneers affixed to the surface of a core material offering a more cost effective and sustainable alternative to hard wood alternatives. Adding the finishing touch of sophistication to each panel, a premiumoil technology is applied. Adding a protective layer, this oil penetrates the wood surface, maintaining its longevity while preventing it from drying out or cracking whilst also maximising the gorgeous intricacies of the wood’s grain and colour.
Our growing ranges
Classic SlatWall panel styles are just the beginning, there’s so much more to discover at Naturewall.
From the classic SlatWall, Enriched Oil or Grand panels in our acoustic wall panel collections, to paintable mdf alternatives and our fabulous array of waterproof panels and new slatted shower panels - all of which are designed in the UK - there are so many fabulous choices to consider.
Whether you’re choosing SlatWall panels for your living room, picking special shower panels for your bathroom, or looking for something truly unique, you can be confident that each product meets the same high standards that define our quality-first ethos.
As we continue to invest in and grow our company, our team keeps scaling, innovating, and raising the bar for the products and quality our customers deserve. Every product is a reflection of our enduring commitment to long-term value, sustainable production, and designs that put our customers first.
