Fifty years ago, Laurence Freed started an apprenticeship in veneer: hardwoods, softwoods, and the surfaces the trade is built on. The company he founded in 2000 became the backbone of WVH®. What we carry today still passes through his hands first.
From Acupanel® acoustic wall panelling to architectural finishes, every surface is chosen for grain, tone, and the way it feels under your hand. We source responsibly, check consistency batch to batch, and pass on anything that only looks good in a photograph.
Acupanel®, Flutto® and Plaank® are WVH® brands: acoustic panels, flexible panels and outdoor panels, designed here and made to our specification. Acupanel® began UK acoustic slat panelling, and the Drew & Jonathan Home™ collection carries it into a collaboration with Drew and Jonathan Scott.
Trade buyers get a named account manager. Homeowners get a real person who knows the ranges and remembers your project the next time you call. Ask us anything: finishes, lead times, or how much you actually need.
Trust should be checkable. We hold 4.4 from 5,000+ reviews on Trustpilot, fire certification of B-s1, d0 to EN 13501-1:2018 from a notified body on our Fire-Rated acoustic panels, and sound absorption measured to EN ISO 354. We would rather show the paperwork than raise our voice.
