We Moved! Our New Facility Is Built to Better Serve Our Clients
We Moved! How Our New Facility Helps Us Better Serve Our Clients
If you've been following our journey, you know this move has been years in the making, and we're excited to finally share the news.
Walston Architectural Products has officially moved into our new manufacturing facility and showroom in Smithville, Missouri (minutes away from Kansas City). While a new building is certainly exciting for our team, what matters most is what this investment means for our customers.
Our new facility was designed with one goal in mind: delivering better products, faster service, and an even better experience for every architect, designer, contractor, builder, and homeowner we work with.
Whether you're ordering custom commercial wall panels, requesting finish samples, or planning your next interior project, our new space allows us to serve you more efficiently than ever before.
Why We Built a New Facility
Walston Architectural Products began as Walston Door Co. in 2016, operating out of a garage. In 2017, we took our first step forward by leasing our initial warehouse space.
In 2022, we expanded into manufacturing wall panels and began phasing out our door products to focus fully on architectural wall panel solutions.
Over the last several years, our product line has grown to include:
As our business continued to grow, we realized we had outgrown our previous facility. Rather than simply finding another warehouse, we decided to build a space specifically designed around our manufacturing process and our customers' needs.
Today, that vision has become reality.
More Manufacturing Capacity Means Better Service
One of the biggest advantages of our new building is increased production capacity.
Our expanded manufacturing space allows us to:
-
Produce more architectural wall panels each day
-
Improve workflow from manufacturing through shipping
-
Reduce production bottlenecks
-
Better accommodate larger commercial projects
-
Continue offering fast turnaround times
For our customers, that means a smoother ordering experience and greater confidence that your project stays on schedule.
Whether you're specifying panels for a restaurant, hotel, office, healthcare facility, retail space, or luxury residence, our goal is to make ordering custom wall panels as simple and reliable as possible.
A Better Experience for Architects, Designers, and Contractors
We know selecting finishes online can sometimes be challenging.
That's why we're creating a dedicated showroom where customers can experience our products in person.
Although our displays are still being completed, the new showroom will soon allow visitors to:
-
Compare woodgrain, stone, linen, and metallic finishes
-
View full-size wall panel installations
-
See different panel profiles side by side
-
Explore design ideas for commercial and residential spaces
Seeing texture, scale, and finish in person often makes design decisions much easier, and we're excited to offer that experience.
Built for Better Quality
Our new facility also gives us greater control over every step of production.
From machining our MDF cores to laminating premium 3D finishes and packaging finished products, our workflow has been designed for consistency and efficiency.
That means:
-
Improved quality control
-
Better material handling
-
Increased manufacturing precision
-
More organized inventory
-
Faster shipping preparation
As a U.S. manufacturer, we're proud to continue producing our decorative wall panels right here in Missouri while maintaining the quality our customers expect.
More Room to Grow
This move isn't just about today.
It's about preparing for the future.
The additional space allows us to continue expanding our product offerings, invest in new equipment, develop additional architectural profiles, and support larger commercial projects across the country.
As interior design continues embracing texture, dimension, and natural materials, we're committed to staying at the forefront of architectural wall panel design.
Our investment today helps ensure we're ready for tomorrow's projects.
