How many slat wall panels do I need?

Divide your wall width in inches by 24 and round up. That's the number of Valora Decor panels you need for a wall up to 9.5 ft tall.

Each panel is 24" wide and 114" (9.5 ft) tall, so one panel covers one 2 ft column from floor to ceiling in most rooms.

Step 1: Measure your wall

  1. Measure the width of the area you want to cover, in inches. If it's a feature section (behind a TV or bed), measure just that section.
  2. Measure the height from floor to ceiling in two or three places. If it's 114" or less, one panel per column covers it.

Step 2: Do the math

Panels = wall width (inches) ÷ 24, rounded up

Example: a 13 ft wall is 156". 156 ÷ 24 = 6.5, so you need 7 panels. The last one gets cut to width.

Prices are for the standard profile at $69 per panel. The upgraded 1 thick + 2 thin profile is about $78 per panel. Trim, lighting, adhesive and installation are extra.

Should I order extra?

Usually not much. Because each panel runs the full height in one piece, there's very little waste: the only cut-down piece is normally the last panel in the run. If your wall has a lot of openings (windows, doors), or you're new to cutting panels, one spare is a reasonable cushion.

What if my ceiling is taller than 9.5 ft?

For walls above 114", you'll need a second, shorter piece on top of each column, which adds a horizontal seam. Many people instead stop the panels at a consistent height and finish the top with trim. Send us your measurements and we'll suggest the cleanest layout.

What else should I count?

  • Trim: for any exposed end that doesn't stop at a corner
  • Lighting: COB LED strip is sold by the foot, from $2.33/ft. Measure the run you want lit. See slat walls with LED lighting.
  • Openings: count outlets and switches so you can plan cuts

Questions

How many square feet does one panel cover?

19 sq ft (9.5 ft x 2 ft).

How many panels for a TV wall?

Most TV walls are 8–12 ft wide, so 4–6 panels. See [slat wall behind a TV](/guides/slat-wall-behind-tv).

Do panels have to cover the whole wall?

No. A section behind a bed, desk or TV is common, and it uses fewer panels.
