Wood Slat Room Divider FAQ

The minimum order is 12 slats. Dividers are sold by the individual slat rather than as a fixed-width divider section.

Pre-finished slats are ready to install, available in Walnut, Dark Walnut and White Oak, each a genuine wood veneer over a plywood core. No sanding, staining or sealing is required.

Unfinished / Stainable slats have unfinished/raw veneer (white oak, red oak, black walnut), you can stain and finish them to match an existing finish in the room.

Paintable slats are made of high-density MDF, ready to be primed and painted any colour to match your trim or walls.

Use our calculators listed at Build & Price Your Divider. We have calculators for fixed, rotating, vaulted ceiling and stairs which calculate the slat count from your divider and add the right quantity to your cart. If you would rather do the arithmetic yourself, see How Many Slats Do I Need?

Standard profile sizes (cross-sections) are 2"×4", 2"×5" and 2"×6".

Lengths depend on the system. ROTERA, the rotating design, is available in 8 ft and 9 ft for pre-finished slats, and up to 10ft for stainable and paintable slats. FIXERA, the fixed design, is available in 8 ft, 9 ft, 10 ft, 11 ft and 12 ft. For heights above 9 ft in a veneered finish, or above 10 ft in Paintable or Stainable, dividers are built using extensions.

Current production lead time is 2 to 4 weeks. Every divider is manufactured to order rather than picked from stock, which is what allows custom profile sizes and finishes. Samples ship separately and arrive much sooner.

Shipping is a flat fee of $400 to anywhere in the USA and Canada, and 8" samples ship free. There is no sales tax on US orders, and we pay all customs and clearance fees — the price you see is the price you pay.

A typical divider goes up in a few hours, either DIY or with a contractor. The bracket system is self-aligning, so once you have marked and aligned the centre points on the ceiling and floor with a laser level or plumb bob, the slats seat at consistent spacing without individual measuring.

Step-by-step videos are on the ROTERA and FIXERA installation pages. Dividers are a permanent floor-to-ceiling installation, fixed to ceiling and floor plates.

No, our wood slat dividers are for interior use only.
