Tableaux offers its custom Decorative Grilles in four distinct product families that include Tableaux Faux Iron™, Tableaux Veneer™, Tableaux Elements™, and Tableaux Metal™.

The material substrates we use for each Tableaux Product Family were selected for their unique textural characteristics. Tooling, cutting, and prepping techniques were developed and refined, along with unique finish color application processes, to achieve a design-specific finished look & feel for each.

No matter the usage or design style, there’s a Tableaux product family perfectly suited to your interior design & décor projects. Learn more about our product families below.

Tableaux Faux Iron™

Tableaux Faux Iron was developed for use in a variety of interior design & décor applications where you want the look of old-world, wrought-Iron accents in classic, traditional, or industrial/urban design styles. It can even be used in exterior applications.

Designed to replicate ornamental architectural openwork, Tableaux Faux Iron is made using sustainable, industrial-grade Medium Density Fiberboard (MDF) wood panels that have superior strength and moisture resistance and no added formaldehyde (NAF).

The design pattern you select for Tableaux Faux Iron is tooled and cut on CNC machines and available with your choice of single-sided or double-sided bevel carving options to enhance its iron-like appearance.

Low-VOC paints are applied to the surface and rough-cut sides in a proprietary process perfected to resemble the look of various wrought iron or cast-iron Finishes. Ten finish colors are available. Some of the colors (patinas and rust) use an organic, natural oxidation process that brings about a different and completely original finish on every piece. Custom finish colors are not available for Tableaux Faux Iron.

Tableaux Faux Iron is a great alternative to using real iron without the weight, cost, or installation complexities.

See our Product Family Comparison for more detailed specs.

Tableaux Veneer™

Tableaux Veneer™ was developed for use in a variety of interior design & décor applications where you want woodgrain accents for traditional, contemporary, natural, organic, rustic, or biophilic design styles.

Tableaux Veneer is made using sustainable, industrial-grade Medium Density Fiberboard (MDF) wood panels with real hardwood walnut plain-sliced veneer adhered to the surface.

The design pattern you select for Tableaux Veneer is tooled and cut on CNC machines and is available in non-beveled carving only to preserve the woodgrain surfaces on the front and back.

Low-VOC stains are applied in a proprietary process perfected to resemble the look of aged/restored wood, or to enhance the beauty of the natural woodgrain. The inside cuts are not veneered, but stain and a protective finish coating are applied to seal all areas. Ten finish colors are available including nine aged/restored, and one Dark Walnut natural finish. The walnut veneer is harvested from real trees. Since every tree is different, every board of veneer will have varying color & grain pattern variations. Custom finish colors are not available for Tableaux Veneer.

The natural woodgrain surface of Tableaux Veneer makes it the perfect material choice for bringing the outdoors in.

Tableaux Elements™

Tableaux Elements was developed for use in a variety of interior design & décor applications where you want the look of steel accents in contemporary, modern, or industrial/urban design styles. It can also be used in exterior applications.

Tableaux Elements is made using sustainable, industrial-grade Medium Density Fiberboard (MDF) wood panels with certified class A (1) flame spread rating and no added formaldehyde (NAF).

The design pattern you select for Tableaux Elements is tooled and cut on CNC machines and available with your choice of single-sided, double-sided, or non-beveled carving options, making Tableaux Elements adaptable to any design theme or project specification.

The cut panels are prepped, sanded, and primed, and Low-VOC Metallic Paints are applied in a proprietary process perfected to resemble the look of steel with a smooth, gradient, and reflective surface. Ten metallic finish colors are available. Custom finish colors may be specified for Tableaux Elements to match any décor.

Tableaux Elements’ metallic finish, Class A fire rated MDF, and thicker material options, offer a desirable alternative to the potential installation complexities and costs associated with using real metal.

See our Product Family Comparison for more detailed specs.

Tableaux Metal™

Tableaux Metal was developed for use in a variety of interior design & décor applications that demand the most precisely cut design patterns and most durable materials for any interior design style.

Tableaux Metal is made using your choice of standard (mild) steel or aluminum alloy in 7-gauge (3/16”) or 11-gauge (1/8”) thickness. For exterior applications, we recommend choosing aluminum for greater corrosion resistance. Steel and aluminum are sustainable materials that can be recycled and reused in the creation of other products.

The design pattern you select for Tableaux Metal is tooled and cut on modern CNC laser cutting equipment with dimensional accuracy that produces the finest details.

Powder Coating is applied to the surface through an electrostatic process, then cured with heat. Powder coating protects metals from corrosion, dents, and scratches while producing a high-quality finish. Twelve powder coat finish colors are available. An almost unlimited number of custom powder coat finish colors may be specified to match any décor.

Tableaux Metal is an exceptionally durable, easy to clean material that combines artistically designed openwork and aesthetically pleasing finishes that add sophistication & luxury to any space.
