Description
BCL timber ceilings - acoustic panel systems that offer increased design and performance flexibility for creating wooden slatted ceilings for large commercial spaces.
BCL's open-configurable approach offers thousands of design options, whilst harnessing the efficiency benefits of prefabrication, to deliver high-performance acoustic timber ceilings, sized according to layouts - removing any cutting or modification on site and allowing faster, more efficient installation with less on-site waste.
Features and benefits:
- Full systems fire testing to EN 13501-1.
- BIM level 4 full system design (in Revit or similar).
- Integrated services/ lighting.
- SIDOS compliant ‘bomb-blast’ grids available (including bespoke).
- Flexible wood panel sizes to suit layouts - no cutting = < 1% waste.
- Secret-fixings - wood slats age better and coatings last longer.
- Solid wooden slats - natural variation and beauty.
- FSC® and PEFC certified - Full BREEAM Mat03 credits.
- High recycled content (typically 20%).
- High natural/ organic content (typically 65%).
- Bespoke fire retardant colour coatings.
- Coloured acoustic fabrics.
- Anti-viral/ bacterial infection control options.
- Direct installation service.
BCL offer multiple suspended ceiling grid options, depending on your application and acoustic panel performance requirements, including:
- Fully Demountable - Particularly suitable for flat low level timber ceilings, requiring regular access. Panels lay-into an PPC aluminium sub-grid, which can be fully concealed (CD-1, CD-2) or can be an exposed 'Tegular' system. (ED-1).
- Fixed/ Semi-demountable - Usually used for high-level, pitched, or suspended wood ceilings that require more security. Panels screw-up to underside of aluminium sub-grid and can be mechanically unscrewed for demounting if necessary.
- Fixed/ Curved - Allowing the creation of complex curved surfaces. Timber panels are 'hung' to aluminium tubular sub-grid to create dramatic curves in your suspended ceiling.
- Bomb-blast/ Tethering - Additional options to allow extra security or compliance with special regulations (e.g. SIDOS, DREEAM etc.).
