Natural birch bark wall panel, EmotionWood Birch 600
The Birch 600

· The Birch 600 ·

A piece of the forest, on your wall.

Real birch bark, exactly as the tree grew it.

No two panels are ever the same.

More than just wood

Born from Estonian forests.

EmotionWood has crafted eco-friendly wood design panels in Estonia since 2014, where nature and design meet in balance. Every panel is made by hand by skilled artisans, guided by Nordic values of quality and responsibility.

Which is why these panels aren't only a surface to look at. They're solid-wood panels that earn their place on the wall: acoustically, environmentally and for years.

Made in Estonia. Defined by quality. EmotionWood · Tallinn

Softer, warmer rooms

Natural wood improves acoustics, thermal comfort and indoor climate, so spaces feel calmer, not just look richer.

Solid, not veneer

Solid timber right through, not a veneer over board, so it can be cut, sanded and lived with.

An original design

A distinctive EmotionWood pattern, handcrafted and made to your order in Estonia: originality you can specify with confidence.

Documented & declared

Eco-friendly production, with technical and installation data sheets: the paperwork trade and architect specs ask for.

Why it lasts

Solid wood, engineered to be lived with.

The Birch 600 is real birch bark, set into a large 600 mm panel and left exactly as nature made it. Every panel carries its own markings, so no two walls are ever alike: a piece of untouched forest, brought indoors.

Material · Real birch bark

Real bark,
real forest.

The face of every panel is genuine natural birch bark, left exactly as it grew. Silvery, papery and rich in character, it brings a piece of untouched forest straight onto the wall.

  • Genuine birch bark, not a print
  • Natural silvery tone and markings
  • A large 600 × 600 mm format

Character · One of a kind

No two panels
are alike.

Because it is real bark, every panel carries its own lines, knots and shade. Laid together they read as one living, textured surface, never a repeat.

  • Unique markings on every panel
  • Natural shade variation is the point
  • A wall that is truly your own

Supply · Limited annual run

Gathered
in season.

Birch bark is harvested in season, so the Birch 600 is made to order in a limited annual run. It is worth checking availability and lead time early when you plan a wall.

Installation

Up on the wall in an afternoon.

Two honest ways to fix the panels: bond straight to a flat wall with adhesive, or brad-nail to battens. No specialist trade required: a clean wall, a level, and a steady row-by-row rhythm.

GLUE THE FIELD stop short of every edge & corner wall panel 14 mm press & level

Best on a flat, dry, load-tested wall. No battens needed; the wall itself is the substrate.

Bonded straight to the wall.

The fastest route for a sound, level wall. A heat- and moisture-resistant silicone holds the panels flush with no visible fixings.

  1. Prep the wallClean, flat and level. Finish all wet works first so the wall is fully dry.
  2. Butter the panelSpread moisture-resistant silicone across the back, covering edges and corners, but stop short of the very edge so it won't squeeze out.
  3. Press & levelSet the panel, press firmly so it beds evenly, and check it sits flush and true.
  4. Work the wallTop to bottom, left to right, row by row, and the seams disappear as you go.
  5. Seal & treatFinish with a breathable wood protector to guard against dirt and moisture.

The rhythm: row by row.

Whichever way you fix them, start top-left, then work down and across so each row locks into the last.

Start top-left Row by row Down & across

Before you start

  • Acclimatise first. Store the panels in the room for a few weeks so the wood settles to its temperature and humidity. Never below freezing.
  • Wet works first. Finish any wet trades before fitting; panels fixed to a damp wall will absorb moisture and swell.
  • Order a little extra. Allow 5 to 10% for cuts and edge pieces, and expect gentle shade variation between batches.

Care & repair

  • Protect it. Treat all surfaces with a breathable wood protector; it repels dirt and moisture and lifts the grain.
  • Never pressure-wash. Running water or a pressure washer will damage the wood; wipe clean and dry only.
  • Swap a damaged piece. Chisel it out, clean the plywood back, and glue a replacement in; no need to redo the wall.

Common questions

Answered, before you ask.

A real human is one click away, but most of what we get asked is right here.

Talk to a specialist
How much does one pack cover?

Each box holds 6 panels and covers about 2.16 m². Panels are 600 × 600 mm with a coverage of 0.36 m² each. Order by the square metre, and allow 5 to 10% extra for cuts and waste.

Can I use it in a sauna or bathroom?

No. The Birch 600 is raw, untreated birch bark, not a heat or moisture-treated wood, so keep it to dry interior walls and ceilings, away from saunas, showers and splash zones. For heat and steam, see our thermo-treated panel series.

Is it real birch bark?

Yes. The face is genuine natural birch bark, not a print or laminate. Every panel keeps the bark's own markings and colour, so expect natural variation from panel to panel; that variation is the character.

How do I install it?

Two ways: bond straight to a clean, dry, level wall with a suitable adhesive, or brad-nail to timber battens. Work row by row from the top-left. Keep the surface dry and let the panels acclimatise in the room first.

Why is availability limited?

Birch bark is gathered in season, so the Birch 600 is produced in a limited annual run and made to order. Talk to a specialist to check current availability and lead time before you plan your wall.

Do you offer trade or bulk pricing?

Yes. We price by the square metre, with trade and architect rates for larger projects. Talk to a specialist for a project quote.
