Design-Flexible UKAS Fire Tested Timber Panels
Wood Panel Systems that Maximise On-site Efficiency
At BCL we provide a flexible approach to slatted timber wall panels and wood ceilings. Our open-configurable timber panel systems allow you to create unique designs, using fully certified solid timber slats – whilst maximising the efficiency of prefabrication to deliver beautiful internal wood panels & timber cladding that also significantly reduces on-site waste, installation time and prelim costs.
Hundreds of projects choose us, here’s why
Direct Installation Service
BCL offer full end-to-end package responsibility, including DESIGN, MANUFACTURE & INSTALLATION. This ensures a single line of commercial responsibility and maximum level of assurance to all stakeholders involved.
BIM Level 2 / Revit Design
We remove the uncertainty and hassle of design coordination. By providing full panel layouts, setting out and all related design work, via ‘approval process’, we ensure seamless design coordination and lower your overall design workload and risk.
Full EN13501-1 fire testing
We carry out EN13501-1 testing of complete systems in UKAS labs only. This is the only route to full compliance with Approved Document B regulation and a key benefit to using BCL wall & ceiling systems.
More efficient installation
With flexible panel sizes to suit your layouts and all services / penetrations pre-fabricated, there’s no extra on-site cutting or modification required – creating large reductions in installation time, costs and on-site waste.
