LED Feature Wall & Slat Panel Installation
Project Overview
V21 Construction designed and installed a custom LED feature wall in Queens, transforming a plain corner into a modern architectural focal point. The project included building a precise framing structure, mounting vertical black slat panels, installing perimeter LED lighting, and finishing the surrounding surfaces to create a clean, minimalist studio-ready environment.
Analysis
The original wall was flat with no depth or visual interest. Our team built a custom wood frame to support the slat panel layout and LED channels, ensuring perfect alignment with the ceiling bulkhead. The lighting design required concealed channels, proper heat dissipation, and uniform glow without hotspots. The goal was to create a dramatic silhouette effect while maintaining clean edges and seamless transitions.
Process
- Layout and measurement of-panel dimensions and LED perimeter - Build and secure custom wood framework - Install LED channels, wiring, and power supply - Mount vertical black slat panels with flush alignment - Detail work: caulking, sanding, and final paint - System testing and final walkthrough
Outcome
The final installation delivers a dramatic, modern feature wall with soft perimeter glow and deep vertical texture. The space now appears more architectural, premium, and photo/video-ready. The contrast between the matte black slats and the illuminated wall edges produces a high-end, studio-quality aesthetic.
