Deliver Class A1 or Class A2 (EN13501-1) classified fireproof cladding in beautifully realistic Aluminium faux wood effect finishes with the BCL 'TIMBER EFFECT' range.

Underground stations, external linings of residential & instituional buildings over 18m tall (Approved Document B), or large station concourses are just some of the building regulatory examples that will demand fully fire resistant wood walls & ceilings. 

The BCL 'TIMBER EFFECT' range has been designed to provide a range of beautiful Aluminium non-combustible wood finishes using an incredibly tough Polyurethane Powder Coating system to create the varied and accurate look of natrual timber, in a fully inert fire resistant faux wood effect material. 

BCL also offer fire testing with UKAS accredited laboratories on all of our panel systems, ensuring compliance with Approved Document B and any other prevailing fire codes. Our fire testing services ensure you can deliver EN13501-1 tested faux wood effect non combustible finishes and compliant timber effect panels with full testing reports and data for commercial fire assessment.
