Shipboard & Wood Alternative (WPC)
The warmth of wood without the upkeep: fluted panels that resist moisture and insects, for headboards, TV walls, walls and ceilings.
Shipboard & Wood Alternative (WPC) in Abha & Khamis Mushait
Wood-alternative panels (WPC), often called “shipboard alternative” in the Saudi market, combine wood fibre with polymer. They look and feel like natural wood but don’t warp, rot or attract termites.
We use them behind beds, on TV walls, around columns and on ceilings, often paired with hidden lighting and marble sheets for a complete modern look.
What we offer
Headboard walls
A full wall or section behind the bed with hidden lighting and side shelves.
TV walls
Fluted slats combined with marble sheets or a floating TV unit.
Column & wall cladding
Cladding for majlis rooms, corridors, shops and offices.
Ceilings
Wood slats on ceiling sections or combined with gypsum board.

Wood Alternative FAQs
What does “shipboard alternative” mean?
It is the common market name for wood-alternative panels and slats used instead of timber or chipboard for wall cladding. Their key advantage is moisture resistance.
Is it affected by humidity or sun?
WPC resists moisture and does not rot. For areas in direct sun we recommend exterior-grade panels.
Can it be combined with lighting?
Yes. We leave channels for hidden LED lighting between slats or above and below the design.
