täyspaneeliset

Täyspaneeliset is a Finnish term used to describe surfaces or objects that are composed entirely of solid panels, without glass or other inserts in the visible area. The term is commonly applied to doors, cabinet doors, and other paneled surfaces in both traditional and contemporary design.

Construction typically relies on frame-and-panel technology, where one or more panels are seated within a surrounding frame. Panels can be made from solid wood, plywood, or engineered materials such as MDF, and may be finished flat or with a raised profile. The joinery and panel dimensions are chosen to accommodate wood movement and to achieve the desired aesthetic.

Applications of täyspaneeliset elements include interior doors (täyspaneeliset ovet), cabinet doors, and furniture panels. The concept emphasizes a full-panel surface rather than doors or panels that incorporate glass, windows, or openwork. This style is associated with a traditional look as well as with modern interpretations that value solid, uninterrupted panels.

Design considerations involve a balance between appearance and practicality. Täyspaneeliset components offer a sturdy, classic look and can provide good rigidity and insulation, depending on materials. They are generally heavier and more costly than flush or glass-insert alternatives and require attention to seasonal wood movement to prevent warping or cracking.

Variants of the concept include flat-panel and raised-panel styles, with materials ranging from solid timber to engineered woods and veneers. Finishing options cover painting, staining, or veneering to suit different interiors.
